We are pleased that David Cavender KC is featured in one of The Lawyer’s “Top 10 Appeals of 2026”.
In what is considered a matter of particular importance for the motor finance industry and legal proceedings more generally, a two-day Court of Appeal hearing is scheduled for April in Angel and others v Black Horse; Green and others v Close Brothers, where a collection of banks and lenders are appealing a High Court decision over “omnibus” claims. Thousands of claimants will bring “unfair relationship” claims under the Consumer Credit Act against the defendants in these two cases being heard together, and argue that commission paid in relation to motor finance agreements were not disclosed to car purchasers. The decision in this Appeal is expected to have a major impact on motor finance claims, as well as the wider procedure of “omnibus” claims.
David Cavender KC acts for the respondents, Stuart Angel, Peter Green and others, instructed by Barings Law.
