Synopsis

Timed so as to coincide with the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 coming into force, which will markedly affect the regulatory regime, this book looks in detail at the extent to which financial advisors (whether institutional or independent) are liable to those whom they advise (and perhaps to others) for the accuracy and quality of their advice. In the wake of pension and endowment mortgage mis-selling, the Equitable Life case, and the continued concern about the role of commissions paid by the financial institutions to advisers when they sell a particular financial product, this work fills a very notable gap in the market.
