The offence of insider dealing concerns someone using a company’s confidential price-sensitive information to arrange , usually, illegal share dealings with an aim to making money for themselves or their associates. Though such an offence is often carried out by employees of the company, this need not necessarily be the case; for example, a stockbroker or merchant banker who is aware that their company is about to be taken over and responds by arranging for a friend to purchase shares in that company, would be guilty of insider dealing.
