Thread: OFT test case outcome

Hi All
Sorry for being thick! I can't seem to get any decent laymans term info on the outcome of the test case in Jan 08

Can anyone fill me in, my original claim direct to Halifax from Aug07 was put on hold so i thought i'd sit it out and wait for the all clear before following it up.

Thanks
Scott

There is no outcome just yet, we should hear in May 2008. However, this will probably not be the final outcome as it can be appealed.

I'll hold fire -

Thanks

Sorry to invade as i'm sure this question has been asked a million times already!!! I had a claim with the Halifax that I got as far as the prelim letter before they sent me a letter to say due to the test case they would put it on file and get back to me when the outcome of the case has been decided, should I continue with the claim and court proceedings regardless and let the court stay my claim?? or should I sit back and wait??

Yes carry on and register your claim in the Court.

oooo the Kraken awakes

LOL........ just pacing myself now ready for Mays' expected verdict in the OFT case where all stays will be lifted!!

From OFT update 11March:
The Office of Fair Trading: Questions and answers for OFT personal current account work

8. The test case hearing has finished, so what happens now?
We are anticipating that judgment will be handed down by the end of July, although we have no firm information about this.

Do we have a date in May when this is all going to take place???

It's been set back to at least July.
