This unit examines insider trading, market manipulation, and related forms of market misconduct in a legal context, so that students will gain an understanding of the elements of these offences, as well as applicable defences and exemptions. The regulatory regime in Australia will be examined, with a comparative analysis of the legal position in other jurisdictions, such as the USA, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. The unit will consider the sways in which the relevant laws have developed, including law reform proposals. The unit will also address the challenges in detecting forms of market misconduct and enforcing relevant laws, as well as considering the role of regulators.
