Definitions

Bribery is offering, giving, or accepting something of value to influence a decision.

A bribe is any reward, inducement, or gift provided to gain advantage — commercially, contractually, or personally.

Receiving a bribe is as unlawful as giving one. If in doubt, contact UK Bailiff Services for advice.
