UK Corporate Briefing July 2025
Welcome to the Corporate Briefing, where we review the latest developments in UK corporate law that you need to know about. In this month’s issue we discuss:
Upper Tribunal ruling in the case of Craig Donaldson and David Arden (Metro Bank)
The Upper Tribunal has upheld the FCA’s decision that the CEO and CFO of Metro Bank were knowingly concerned in the Bank’s breach of the Listing Rules.
The decision serves as a reminder of the importance for listed company directors to ensure that any market disclosures made by a listed company are accurate, not misleading or deceptive, and do not omit anything likely to affect the import of the information that is disclosed.
New Stewardship Code 2026
The FRC has published a revised UK Stewardship Code, effective from 1 January 2026 which aims to support long-term sustainable value creation while significantly reducing the reporting burden for signatories.
Revised GC100 and Investor Group Directors’ Remuneration Reporting Guidance 2025
To reflect regulatory changes and evolving best practice, the directors’ remuneration reporting guidance, designed to assist companies and investors in interpreting the UK rules on directors’ remuneration policies, has been updated.
FCA policy statement on enforcement investigations
