Abstract This chapter explores the civil law framework surrounding bribery, defining it as the secret payment or promise of a commission to an agent without the principal’s knowledge. English law treats such payments as inherently corrupt, presumes inducement, and deems the principal to have suffered loss, regardless of actual influence or intent. The principal may pursue a range of remedies—including rescission, damages, restitution for unjust enrichment, or equitable claims—against both the briber and the bribed agent. Fiduciary duties underpin many of these claims, as the law seeks to safeguard the principal’s right to disinterested advice and loyalty. Finally, the chapter highlights bribery’s corrosive effect on fiduciary relationships and examines the legal and conceptual tensions surrounding claims in unjust enrichment, underscoring the need for clarity in categorising and enforcing remedies.
