Re: test case date

Seems thats the date they are going to court, but as has been pointed out by a few once the verdict is found and banks appeal then it could be a lot longer.

I thought though that OFT has said the banks have to stand by the decision made by the court?

Re: test case date

I think any decision made in court is allowed to have an appeal?

Re: test case date

Depends if the banks have agreed with the OFT et al that they will accept the courts first decision and not appeal. You're right though, but if they've agreed not to appeal on the side, as it were, then that'll be the end of it.

Re: test case date

Do you think they might of???
Surely the banks being the ogres they are wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot. unless of course they knew they were quiet safe.

Have to say i have no belief in any of it, reckon its a farce from the start. Sorry I'm such a pessimist.
