Law Reform Commission Report on Regulatory Powers and Corporate Offences: Engagement
Mr. Tom O'Malley:
No, I did not include it in the report because we were more concerned with the structure of corporate regulation and the definitions of offences. In any event, the courts already have considerable general powers in that regard but they would require specific statutory powers to make closure orders. Given that they already have that power in certain circumstances, it might be a question of extending their powers to other kinds of violations.
