Checklist for compromises of FCA-regulated entities: information requirements

Checklist for compromises of FCA-regulated entities: information requirements The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the conduct regulator for financial services firms and financial markets in the United Kingdom. It has a duty under section 1B of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000) to pursue certain objectives, one of which is the consumer protection objective. The FCA lists its statutory objectives as to secure an appropriate degree of protection for consumers and to protect and enhance the integrity of UK financial markets, with a view to reducing the number of proposed compromises that they do not consider to be appropriate (see FG22/4, para 1.2). On 5 July 2022, the FCA published guidance on compromises of regulated firms (see FCA Guidance FG22/4 July 2022 and updated in January 2024) following their significant concerns about these tools being proposed and used by firms to avoid paying customers redress (see: LNB News 05/07/2022 72).

In a claim where liability was admitted and a client received a £3,000 interim payment, is there any obligation for that interim payment to be repaid to the defendant's insurers in circumstances where the client is not proceeding?

Contracting authority successfully lifts automatic suspension once again (One Medicare v NHS Northamptonshire ICB)

Public Law analysis: This case involved a successful application by a contracting authority under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR), reg 96(1)(a) to lift the automatic suspension imposed by regulation 95 of the PCR. It provides further clarity on the test to lift the automatic suspension and the difficulties faced by those opposing such an application. As is usually the case in such an application, the contracting authority accepted (for the purposes of the application) that there was a serious issue to be tried such that the case centered on the delicate balance between the adequacy of damages and the balance of convenience. Mrs Justice Jefford, albeit with some hesitation, acknowledged that lifting the suspension could potentially disrupt the claimant’s business in ways that damages could not adequately compensate. However, compelling factors strongly favored lifting the suspension, highlighting the significant evidentiary burden on claimants and the challenges they face when contesting an application to lift the automatic suspension, particularly in cases involving essential public services.
