Lehman Brothers International (Europe), Re: SC 29 Feb 2012

The court was asked to interpret the provisions as to ‘client money rules’ and ‘client money distribution rules’ in the FSA handbook, and to consider the consequences as to the applicable trusts. Substantial sums paid by clients to the bank before its insolvency were now unavailable.
Held: The appeal failed. The statutory trust under the scheme arose on receipt of client money, and not on its later segregation; the primary pooling arrangements applied to client money in house accounts; and, participation in the CMP was not dependant on the segregation of client money.
