RBS fined for LIBOR Manipulation; will lead to increased LIBOR Litigation

RBS was fined £87.5 million by the Financial Services Authority for manipulating the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key interest rate affecting trillions in derivatives contracts. This fraudulent activity, dating back to at least 2006, involved traders adjusting rates to benefit trading positions, causing losses to counterparties. This highlights serious cultural and oversight failures at RBS and other banks and will trigger increased LIBOR-related litigation.

The Court of Appeal is a grand and imposing building, often located in the heart of a major city such as London. Architecturally, it combines classical and modern elements, featuring large stone facades, tall columns, and grand entrances symbolising the authority and gravitas of the court. Inside, the courtrooms are spacious with high ceilings, wood-panelled walls, and elevated benches where the judges sit. It has a formal and solemn atmosphere, reflecting its role as the highest court of appeal in England and Wales before the Supreme Court.

Court of Appeal Decision: Mobilx, Blue Sphere, Calltel

The Court of Appeal has clarified the ‘Kittel’ test in VAT fraud cases, ruling that the key question is whether a trader should have known their transactions were connected to fraud, rather than whether it was merely likely. HMRC bears the burden of proof to show the trader’s knowledge. This decision helps genuine traders defend against denied input tax claims, but full, robust responses to HMRC’s fraud indicators remain essential. Contact Lexlaw for expert VAT litigation advice and representation.
