We note the Court of Appeal judgment on motor finance commission and are carefully considering its decision.
In January, we introduced a pause to the time firms have to provide a final response to customers about motor finance complaints involving a discretionary commission arrangement (DCA).
We did this to prevent disorderly, inconsistent and inefficient outcomes for consumers and knock-on effects on firms and the market while we review whether motor finance customers have been overcharged because of the past use of DCAs.
In September, we extended the pause, in part, so we could account for the outcome of legal cases that may be relevant to our review.
We note the Court of Appeal judgment on 25 October 2024, in Johnson v Firstrand Bank Ltd, Wrench v Firstrand Bank Ltd and Hopcraft v Close Brothers Ltd, and are carefully considering its decision.
