The recent Supreme Court ruling in Johnson, Wrench & Hopcroft has reshaped the legal and regulatory landscape for complaints, redress and disclosure - with implications stretching far beyond motor finance.
While the decision is a clear win in some areas, it raises new questions for asset finance, consumer credit and commercial broker relationships, and puts unfair relationship claims firmly in the spotlight.
In this Helping Hands session, we’ll walk through what’s changed, what’s next and how your business can prepare now - from compliance to customer strategy.
Special guests
We’re joined by:
Reanne MacKenzie, Henderson Chambers - offering a barrister’s view of the Supreme Court ruling and other key legal developments coming down the track
Jason Wassell, CEO, CCTA - providing insight into the FCA’s next moves, FOS positioning and Treasury direction
Why this matters – especially for non-motor markets
The Supreme Court’s logic hinged on motor dealers being suppliers acting in their own interests. But that reasoning may not protect firms in asset finance or unregulated motor finance.
