Ms Isolde Goggin:

We would be confident we would be able to tackle it with this legislation. This legislation gives us a suite of powers appropriate to many different situations with different levels of evidence. White-collar crime is crime. It is very serious crime. We will continue to bring prosecutions where we get the evidence appropriate to criminal prosecution because it is right to do so.

However, this allows one to look at other areas where the level of evidence is susceptible to proof on the balance of probabilities rather than beyond reasonable doubt, which is the criminal standard. It gives a wider range of enforcement policies. We would expect to see detection rates increased.
