After losing what all parties had agreed would be a watershed case, it appears that the main banks of the UK are set to appeal the decision. Eight of the UK’s main banks are seeking permission to appeal against the earlier verdict which affectively gave customers the right to claim back a variety of bank charges going back some years.

The wholesale review of banking practices in the UK could result in the biggest change in the sector for decades, potentially costing UK banking billions of pounds.
