Bank rows

Are Britain's banks past the the worst of their fines and punishments following the financial crisis?

Well, it would appear so, according to Dutch information provider Wolters Kluwer.

Back in the real world, though, there are a whole spate of legal events related to British banks coming up over the next few weeks.

On Monday, for example, five inter-dealer brokers from Tullett Prebon, ICAP and RP Martin are up in front of the Beak on charges of Libor fixing. And on the same day John Argent, one of the traders sacked by Lloyds following its settlement for Libor rigging, is bringing an employment tribunal alleging unfair dismissal.

The following week the case of the six Barclays traders accused by the SFO of rigging Libor will have its first day in court with a case management conference.

From there we switch from Southwark to the Strand, from the Crown Court to the Royal Courts and a slew of Libor cases. Lawyers from Barclays, Lloyds and RBS are all going to be heading to the courts to defend allegations of Libor fixing. Storage company Rhino Enterprises is suing Barclays, property investment firm Wingate Associates is taking on Lloyds and Property Alliance Group will continue its case against RBS. Claims in all three cases are likely to attract a fair amount of attention.

Indeed, it's been reported elsewhere that the Rhino case should lift the lid on Barclays' Ricardo fund and allegations the bank directly profited from the fiddling of Libor.

Meanwhile, the Wingate Associates' case is being brought by Gary Hartland, the man who got the first settlement from a bank over Libor rigging. That time it was Barclays; this time it's Lloyds. I'm told this case is likely to be particularly sensitive for all the banks as Hartland is attempting to use Libor manipulation as a reason to rip up a previously agreed interest rate swap settlement. My court mole says readers should expect a lot cases to follow in his wake if Hartland is successful...

  1. A broken heart can be one of the most painful things to heal from and can take a very long time to heal. During these times it can feel like the whole world could light up in flames and it still couldn't compare to the pain inside.

    Of course, admitting a broken heart can be a difficult thing to do and most of us try to continue on with life masking the pain in our heart. With this pain comes many emotions. I was also trying to masked my pain, until i found help, here is my story about how i save my marriage when my heart was broken.

    My wife and I separated 4 months ago and our children, Emily and Robert, live with her but see me every weekend. I was totally devastated and confused until a old friend of mine told me about a spell caster on the internet called Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack who help people with their relationship and marriage problem by the powers of love spells, at first I doubted if such thing ever exists but decided to give it a try, when I contacted him, he helped me cast a spell and within 48hours my wife came back to me and started apologizing, now she has stopped going out with men and she is with me for good and for real. you can Contact on { nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com }. If you are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back your husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend. contact Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack, E-mail:{ Nwalutaspelltemple@gmail.com } Thank you so much Sir Chief Nwaluta Mallam Zack, i will always be testifying about your good work.
