Abstract

This article critiques the Law Commission consultation paper on Reforming Misconduct in Public Office. This was a major undertaking by the Law Commission to reform one of the oldest criminal offences in England & Wales. The paper deconstructs the consultation paper and critically analyses the two models for reform put forward by the Commission.
