Transparency International ("TI") has launched its annual Corruption Perception Index ("CPI"). China's ranking continues to improve, moving up by two places to a rank of 77 from last year's rank of 79.

Our post also discusses some of the highlights of the 2017 CPI.

Significance of the CPI

The latest 2017 CPI was launched on 21 February 2018. The CPI is the leading global indicator of public sector corruption and offers a snapshot of the relative degree of corruption by ranking countries from all over the globe. It has been used as an important gauge by companies in managing corruption risks when conducting businesses in foreign countries.

A country or territory's score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 (highly corrupt) to 100 (very clean). A country or territory's rank indicates its position relative to the other countries and territories in the index.

Domestic Violence Bail Conditions: What They Mean And How To Challenge Them

Domestic violence bail conditions can be far-reaching. If you are released on bail during a domestic abuse investigation, you may be required to leave your own home, to stay away from a partner or family member, and to limit contact with your children, all before any decision to charge has been made. These conditions can be challenged, and getting early advice on them matters, because they can remain in place for a long time while an investigation continues.
