Valsheid in geschriften en gebruik van valse geschriften

Valsheid in geschriften en gebruik van valse geschriften

Forgery in documents and the use of such documents are two of the most prominent but also most controversial crimes in Belgian Criminal Law. Given the fact that these crimes are often related to irregularities in other branches of the law (Tax Law, Accountancy Law, Company Law, Family Law, Social and Labor Law, …), parties from every field can be confronted with them.

But when do documents containing false information become punishable forgeries? Despite the crime’s serious nature, Belgian Law does not provide a clear answer to this, and many other, crucial questions on the subject. Moreover, the proposed solutions, derived from extensive case law and doctrine, tend to be fragmented and/or vague.

This book provides an in depth analysis of the crimes of forgery and use of forged documents. This results in the necessary suggestions de lege ferenda, and offers a clarifying and exhaustive overview on the subject.

This book has been awarded with the prestigeous Collin Prize for Law 2008 and was subject of a public PhD-defense (October 2006).
