The OFT has submitted to the High Court its reply to the banks defences and counterclaim in the forthcoming test case. Download OFT's joint reply and defence to counterclaims.
The case is expected to be heard within the period 14 January 2008 – 28 February 2008.
Within the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations (UTCCRs) investigation, the OFT is continuing to request and analyse information supplied by the banks. Further information on this investigation will be published after the judgment has been delivered and the OFT has considered its implications.
