Civil procedure

James William Stewart Abernethy & Ors v Barclays Bank UK Plc & Ors

The claimants failed to demonstrate sufficient common or related issues of law or fact to justify a GLO or collective case management. The proposed structure would not yield binding decisions or significant guidance for remaining claims, and would likely increase costs, delay, and strain court resources. The omnibus claim form with multiple defendants does not enable convenient disposal of claims in the same proceedings. Disaggregation is ordered; each claimant must file an individual claim form.

  • Collective case management
  • Payment protection insurance (ppi)
  • Unfair relationship
