Financial/Investment Advice Leading to Loss
We may be able to help as one of our recent cases in this area shows. In July 2010 the High Court confirmed a ruling by the Financial Ombudsman that Financial Advisors are under a duty to advise their clients properly, and may be held liable for losses suffered by clients if they breach that duty.
AIB v Financial Services Ombudsman and others
Judgment of High Court President Nicholas Kearns 22 July 2010
The Ombudsman ordered AIB to refund over €200,000 to our clients which, on the Bank’s advice, they had invested in bank shares in August 2008. AIB appealed the Ombudsman’s findings to the High Court and lost the appeal. AIB went on to seek permission to appeal the High Court decision to the Supreme Court and were refused permission.
Cork Flood Damage
We are advising a range of householders and business owners affected by the November 2009 flood in the Lee valley. Was the damage avoidable? Why did the flood occur as it did? How can action be taken to minimise the risk of a similarly devastating flood in future? These are among the questions we are seeking answers to on behalf of our clients.
