The claimant was concerned that the Financial Service Authority had failed properly to supervise the de-mutualisation of the Scottish Widows insurance company, and had not identified a failure to disclose very substantial potential liabilities. He now complained that the respondent had said she had no jurisdiction to investigate.
Held: The respondent’s view that the FSA acted only as a prudential regulator was reasonable. The Parliamentary Ombudsman was entitled to take the view that she had no jurisdiction to investigate the sending out of the Circular and any misleading effect it may have had on policy holders. It was without foundation to assert that the respondent had disguised her jurisdiction, and the claimant had failed to bring his complaint through his MP which was a requirement of the 1967 Act.
