court system that has a strong international reputation and enables highly complex
crimes to be prosecuted.</p><p> </p><p>As well as that work, we are also active in
scrutinising the law to see if anything needs to be changed to tackle economic crime.
The Department carried out a Call for Evidence to examine the case for a change in
the law in corporate criminal liability for economic crime in 2017 and intends publishing
its response in 2019.</p><p> </p><p>This is in addition to the creation of a new world
class court facility in the City of London specialising in tackling cyber-crime, fraud

reputation as a world-leading legal centre ready to deal with the changing nature
of 21st century crime.</p>
