On 12 September 2012 the Court of Appeal handed down its decision in Rubenstein v HSBC Bank Plc [2012] EWCA, overturning a controversial High Court decision in a financial professional negligence claim by a private retail customer.
Nigel Jones QC and Sarah McCann will analyse the significance of this headline case in a broad professional negligence context including:
- Background: A summary of the facts and key findings
- The Court of Appeal’s review of the modern law of damages in tort and damages in contract
- Scope of duty, remoteness, foreseeability, and the contemplation of the parties.
This session is of general application and aimed at professional negligence lawyers and is not confined to the financial services context.
