Newham and seven other councils which brought legal action against Barclays Bank over loans they alleged were affected by the Libor rigging scandal have had their claims thrown out by a High Court judge.
The local authorities launched the action in 2018 in a bid to cancel long term loans they took out with the bank between September 2006 and November 2008.
They said the loans were tainted by a number of alleged representations said to have been made by the bank concerning Libor - the London Interbank Offered Rate - at the time the loans were offered.
