Supreme Court narrows the scope of the Quincecare duty in Philipp v Barclays Bank

We are defending financial institutions from multiple claims for breach of the so called Quincecare duty and have seen claimant law firms increasingly seek to expand the scope of the duty to try to make financial institutions liable for any frauds taking place through their accounts. Where a bank is unknowingly or innocently “mixed up” in a fraud as a result of duly complying with the customer’s instructions (who are not themselves complicit in or aware of the fraud), the question is in what circumstances should the bank be held liable for any loss suffered on the basis of its purported greater ability to detect fraud. The answer to this question, eagerly awaited by many, has finally come from the Supreme Court in its judgment in Philipp v Barclays Bank UK PLC [2023] UKSC 25.

FCA fines chair of a listed company for unlawfully disclosing inside information

The chair of a premium-listed company has been fined £80,000 for unlawfully disclosing inside information to major shareholders before the information was announced to the market. This case acts as a reminder for companies to continuously consider what information, if any, can be disclosed and to whom, as well as the scope for individual senior officer accountability. Commenting, Mark Steward, Executive Director of Enforcement and Market Oversight at the FCA said, “The law requires inside information to be disclosed properly and not to major shareholders or others in advance of announcements, as in this case. We will continue to rigorously enforce against breaches when we see them to ensure this important principle remains uppermost in the minds of issuers and their senior officers.”
