Clyde Darrell: MBL Seminar on Establishing Liability for Fraudulent Electronic Payments – The Key Issues – 28 April 2023, 9:00am-12:30pm

When such frauds take place, the victims are often faced with the difficult question of who to sue and what claim to bring to recover their losses.

Unfortunately, the current state of the law does not make answering such questions very easy.

Establishing liability for fraudulent electronic payments often requires a strategic approach which makes use of any and all legal and procedural tools available.
