The Court of Appeal has overturned a landmark judgment, ruling that a Sipp provider was in fact responsible for their ex-client’s losses.
The judgment marks a watershed over how much responsibility a Sipp provider has to vet unregulated investments.
It also brings to a conclusion several years of legal wrangling between Russell Adams and his old Sipp provider Options UK Personal Pensions LLP.
Options, formerly known as Carey Pensions UK, was fighting to maintain a key judgment it won in May 2020 against its former client Adams.
