Abstract
The Modern Slavery Act 2015 contains an application of enterprise principles in its transparency in supply chains section [section 54]. It applies mandated disclosure regulation to the entire group once it satisfies the required conditions. This paper examines the consequential issues of extraterritoriality and potential liability.
