Authorised Push Payment Fraud – Where Are We Now & Where Are We Heading?
Join Marcus Croskell and Roger Laville as they deliver the next webinar from our Commercial, Company and Insolvency practice.
The ease of electronic banking and the increased sophistication of criminals has led to a surge in authorised push payment frauds, in which individuals and corporates have been tricked into making payments, often of large sums, to accounts controlled by the perpetrators. With little prospect of recovery against the fraudsters themselves, banks are often the target of claims. This webinar will consider the causes of action which might arise and their defences, as revealed by a survey of the recent case law.
This webinar will consider:
-
The bank’s duty of care to prevent fraud on their customer’s account
-
The bank’s duty to seek to recover fraudulent payments
-
The potential liability of the recipient bank
