Bank charges verdict effect...
25/ 4/2008
THE High Court ruled that charges levied by banks for unauthorised overdrafts are subject to regulation by the Office of Fair Trading under "unfair contract" rules.
The judge, Mr Justice Andrew Smith, did not rule that charges are actually unfair, or say what a fair charge would be. That is now up to the OFT, which brought the case, along with seven high street banks and a building society, to clarify.
