Roman Tomasic, PhD, SJD Biography |
| Title: |
Chair of Company Law at Durham University |
| Position: |
Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Should Insider Trading by Congress Be Allowed?" |
| Reasoning: |
"Australia has criminalised insider trading to emphasise community concern about such conduct. But the laws have done little to eradicate what has become an entrenched feature of many modem securities markets...
Peer group pressure to conform to the culture of greed and a prevailing 'casino mentality' among investors, as well as a tolerance of share market manipulation, have become ingrained within the social structure of the industry. At the same time, the law has increasingly become a largely symbolic mechanism and only a weak vehicle for orderly marketing."
"Australian Studies in Law, and Justice: Casino Capitalism? Insider Trading in Australia," report for the Australian Institute of Criminology, 1991
