Our recent article in the New Law Journal explores how the
Supreme Court's decision in Hopcraft signals a return to
orthodoxy on fiduciary duties and common law bribery.
The three conjoined appeals considered the sale of motor finance
to financially unsophisticated consumers buying second hand cars.In
a unanimous judgment, the Supreme Court allowed the lenders'
appeal in part. The judgment restores orthodoxy in the law of
fiduciary duties and common law bribery, while simultaneously
providing a basis and benchmark for future motor finance commission
claims under s 140A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA
1974).
