Chancery (UK) Llp, Regina (on The Application of) v The Financial Ombudsman Service Ltd and Another: Admn 20 Feb 2015

Challenges by judicial review of a decision of the Financial Ombudsman Service Ltd, holding that it had jurisdiction to consider a complaint made against it by Sir Ian Robinson, the Interested Party, through Rebus Investment Solutions Ltd, Rebus, a claims management company. Chancery contended that the FOS had no jurisdiction to deal with the complaint, because the advice which it had given concerned, to put it neutrally, entry into a tax avoidance scheme rather than investment. Tax avoidance advice, it contended, fell outside the scope of the FOS jurisdiction.
