Exclamation OFT v Banks Documentation

As the paperwork is soon going to be piling up, I thought it better to keep it all in one place.

I'll close the thread, as it is for storage, not for discussion, please PM a moderator or site helper for inclusion if you come across a document that hasn't been posted yet. Thanks.

Default OFT v Banks Documentation

The OFT have at long last published the banks defences in the test case.

The Office of Fair Trading: Personal current accounts in the UK - banks' defences

OFT lawyers had been busy for some time ''redacting sensitive information'' before publication presumabley at the banks insistance but the page count the OFT versions are no less than the court versions although I'm yet to look at them in detail.

Also very odd is the discreet way that the OFT have chosen to publish them. The defences have not been included in their site's 'what's new page' nor any of the the press release and 'advice and resources' pages in which all the other test case documentation is found.

The Nationwide defence is included which wasn't available from the court
but is here if Bookworm could add them to the test case documentation thread.
