Read more(Blue)crest of a wave – case law on the need for a legal liability under a single firm redress scheme
In a decision that will cause consternation for FCA regulated entities and their insurers alike, the Court of Appeal (COA) has overturned the Upper Tribunal (UT's) decision in The Financial Conduct Authority v Bluecrest Capital Management (UK) LLP. The UT's decision had reinforced the need for a legal liability to be established before redress was payable under a single-firm redress scheme. The COA has comprehensively overturned the UT's ruling, casting the position into doubt. Given the increased need for firms to consider whether foreseeable harm has been suffered (and to look to rectify things if it has) following the introduction of the Consumer Duty, this could have far reaching consequences.

Read moreFCA portfolio letter highlights FCA priorities for the next 2 years for the financial advice sector
Yesterday the FCA issued a portfolio letter outlining its priorities for the next 2 years for the finance advice and investment intermediary market. Those priorities are - reduce and prevent serious harm, monitor and test higher industry standards under the consumer duty and enable more consumers to pursue their financial objectives through the advice guidance boundary review. Highlights include (1) retirement income advice, ongoing advice services and "polluter pays" are specifically referred to when it comes to reducing and preventing serious harm and (2) continued focus on the expectations around the consumer duty. The letter also confirms that we can expect a further update from the FCA on its review of the retirement income advice market in the first quarter of 2025 and an update on ongoing advice services later this year – we wait to see if this means the FCA puts pressure on firms in relation to any regulatory exercises.
