THE NEXT WAVE OF MASS CLAIMS: FUTURE TRENDS IN GROUP LITIGATION
On 6 June 2024, Baker McKenzie, Ankura, Henderson Chambers, Fladgate LLP and Shieldpay hosted the panel, “The Next Wave of Mass Claims: Future Trends in Group Litigation” as part of London International Disputes Week 2024.
Mark Banks (of Baker McKenzie), Nadia Osborne (of Fladgate), Adam Heppinstall KC (of Henderson Chambers), Robert Jones (of Ankura) and Claire Van der Zant (of Shieldpay) spoke at the event and provided their insights into the themes shaping the mass claims space. Here we discuss the key takeaways from their discussion.

THREE SECRETS TO SUCCESSFUL CLIMATE LITIGATION
Courts around the world are handling an increasing number of climate and environmental cases due to the urgent need to combat worsening warming and ecosystem destruction.
As of December 2022, 2,180 climate-related cases had been filed in 65 jurisdictions, including international courts and tribunals, according to the UN’s 2023 global climate litigation report. People and organisations – including communities, cities, environmental groups and young people concerned about their future – are bringing lawsuits against their governments.

ECLIPSE
Newport originated the Eclipse claim and was delighted to instruct Edwin Coe. The case was borne out of a tax challenge representing a group of individuals who faced ruinous tax liabilities as a result of the failed Eclipse investment.
As with the Mr Bates vs Post Office these individuals have faced many years bringing the big corporate (HSBC) to court resulting in bankruptcies and suicides in the pursuit of justice.
Thanks and recognition must go to the Legal team at Edwin Coe and 3 VB who have been thorough and tenacious in representing these claimants. In addition a light should shine on Therium for providing the funding for the Eclipse case (they also funded the Bates case).
The Upham vs. HSBC is the first case of its kind that alleges the bank knew the Eclipse transaction was flawed from the outset.
We will watch with interest when the case starts on 22nd January 2024.
Newport has identified a series of other failings in similar structures and we hope justice is brought to all of these investors.

HSBC
HSBC has filed their defence to the “Eclipse” claim brought against them by the Eclipse investors with the support of Edwin Coe and Newport Tax Management. This brings us to the next stage of the case, with a first hearing expected in the summer. This is just one of many cases Newport have been instrumental in putting together.

PENSION FRAUD
Over three quarters of pension transfers in December raised red flags for potential fraud. This is an unfortunate and growing trend. What is surprising is that people are still being advised to transfer out of Defined Benefits schemes and into something that is totally unsuitable for them.
Newport have been aware of this for some time now and are actively working with best in class CMCs and litigation lawyers putting together groups who have previously been involved in one of these scams. If you’ve been given poor advice and transferred your pension into something that has failed, please get in touch with us
PENSION PLAN PLAY PEN
Unfortunately this is the tip of the iceberg. Too many retail investors have stories of how life savings and transferred pensions have been lost through exposure to some offshore companies allowing poor investment products and funds layered with hidden commissions and marketing fees to be accessed through their portfolio bonds.
The hidden charges resulting in massive early termination fees is also at the heart of another high profile case involving a professional footballer being heard at the moment. We can expect to see more cases to follow as hundreds of millions of pounds has already been lost.
I shall be watching the lead by Signature Litigation with interest as the Manx court hopefully starts the process of clearing up the mess in its back yard.
