Past Events

Fraudsters have existed for centuries, and their methods and means for scamming people have evolved alongside changes in society. Digitalisation and post-Covid social distancing norms have especially provided fertile grounds for these scams.

At a webinar on 26 January, Pryderi Diebschlag, Senior Associate at MinterEllison LLP, discussed how businesses can protect themselves from falling prey to fraudulent emails and mitigate the risks in the unfortunate event that they become a victim. He introduced the remedial measures available through the Hong Kong courts, such as the Mareva Injunction and Proprietary Injunction. Diebschlag also shared tips on how to optimise the recovery of funds lost through fraudulent schemes, which include the issuance of a letter of no consent from the Joint Intelligence Financial Unit or the Police.
