Canadian Law and Private Investigations

By: Norman Groot

This book is a first of its kind in Canada, written to fill a professional and academic void. The growth of the private sector investigation industry in Canada is strong — especially in the corporate realm due to such concerns as the shrinking of public investigation resources, diminishing employee loyalty and therefore increased wrongful acts, an increase in the theft of corporate intelligence. This book is an attempt to provide a body of academic research for this growth industry.

The book is a useful reference text for those practising in the field of private sector investigations, for survey courses on the legal aspects of private sector investigations, and for lawyers, insurance adjusters, businesses and others who use investigative services. For all users of investigative services, this book provides an easy reference explaining the law as it applies to the private investigation industry. It gives the clients of private investigation services a basis to discuss with their investigators the methods used to obtain the results desired.

It represents the latest thinking on each area of the process, written by a commercial litigation lawyer, trained as both a management accountant and forensic investigator, who has been involved in several prominent cases as the head of the fraud recovery team.

“The Law of Fraud and the Forensic Investigator is described as “the most comprehensive book on fraud, the law and investigation ever published” and there seems little reason to doubt it”

“…this book is a useful resource for the forensic investigation of fraud. Particularly helpful are the checklists, forms and precedents … Although it is intended for forensic investigators, it would be of benefit to anyone dealing with fraud investigations that are likely to go to trial. For those readers who are new to the subject, the book’s introduction provides a good overview by itself.”
