Abstract:
Purpose – The paper seeks to contend that first, the current law treating Neglect of Duty and Breach of Trust as a single offence is incorrect; and second, that the offences can be an important tool in battling public corruption.
Design/methodology/approach – The paper traces the historical development of the offences throughout the Commonwealth.
Findings – The single-offence approach lacks historical antecedents and has not been uniformly adopted.
