See the report at the following link: http://blogs.ft.com/westminster/2009/11/banks-dont-treat-us-how-we-treat-you/ If the banks win this argument they stand to have to pay out £billions to us mere peasants, so could it be there was pressure applied by anybody? And did you know that the Government gave the banks another £62 billion SECRETLY (and that was before the bailout that we know about). Disgusting, despicable, unbelievable and they want us to Vote for them in the forthcoming Election. What is the matter with us people, why aren't we taking to the streets as they would in any other country? It was £62billion, not million as I quoted in the post!

This court was headed by 5 judges ---4 Lords and 1 Baroness---and overturned earlier rulings by the High Court and Court of Appeal. This case----Office of Fair Trading vs. Abbey National plc and Others-- had various banks represented by no less than 7 QC's ( barristers; Queen's Counsel ) and others, while the OFT appeared with 1 QC and others, to represent their case.The 5 judges were in agreement with each other in their decision. |
