Business ethics and the law

Sir, – It is distressing to hear commentators in print and other media and now Chief Justice Susan Denham (“Boardrooms must emphasise ethics, says Chief Justice”, Home News, July 9th) lumping all business and company directors together with the prominent few speculators loosely termed “businessmen” whose reckless greed dragged us all down the drain. The vast majority of directors and owners of companies never got on that gravy train but like so many others, are paying for it now as their business are stifled or killed by zombie banks withdrawing normal overdraft and loan facilities. – Yours, etc,
