FCA Whistleblower case begins at the Employment Tribunal tomorrow.

Case Number: 3200291/2023, Mr Latif vs FCA.

Mr Latif is a former FCA data team manager who blew the whistle on multiple breaches of FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) and GDPR by the FCA and paid the price with his job.

This Tribunal case will expose the scale of these breaches and also the entirely compromised internal FCA Whistleblower function.

Information and information rights is what separates a democracy from a dictatorship or worse. In recent years the FCA has waged a war on those information rights with flagrant and now routine breaches of information law and our rights afforded by them.

From personal experience and evidence I have proves FCA Counsel, FCA senior managers and the FCA Press office have all been involved. There is no information law they won't breach, no narrative or context they won't manipulate or falsify and regardless of truth, legal obligation or statutory duty. And clearly no employee they won't destroy in pursuit of that.

This makes this whistleblower case one of the most important cases in financial services for more than a decade.

Mr Latif stood up for every one of us. He had literally zero to gain by making his whistleblower disclosures. It wasn't his information rights being routinely breached by the FCA and its managers. It was yours and mine. The very definition of a Public Interest Disclosure.

He spoke up. And he paid the price for doing so.

I will be at the hearing in person, but I urge as many of you as possible to write to the East London Employment Tribunal ( [email protected] ) and request Remote Access for the above case number.

Having already tired of the election, and having no intention of voting I came across a new (for me) concept. That of a ballet having the option of non of the above. Rather than spoiling your paper.

Worth revisiting this article given the extent of the fraud now being exposed

@jameshurley Yet another abuse of human rights by yet another banking / establishment coverup and false flag ‘independent review’.

Perfectly clear the whole system is rigged and being gamed to obstruct and pervert the course of justice and compensation for thousands of victims.

[James Hurley @jameshurley]

Yet another delay to the Dame Linda Dobbs review into whether Lloyds covered up a major banking fraud. Some of the victims will no longer be with us by the time this sees the light of day.

@BBCMorningLive looked at sprayfoam insulation, the company selling the product stated problems with the differing bubble structure. From memory open and closed!

[APPG on Fair Banking @APPGbanking]

We are delighted to see our upcoming legal battle against the FCA be listed by @TheLawyer as one of the most significant upcoming legal cases in Britain. If we're successful, banks could be required to pay a further £3.2bn to customers who were mis-sold interest rate swaps👇

William Wragg @APPGbanking: “The FCA’s defence in the IRHP misselling case is fundamentally flawed.. Our efforts in this judicial review are more than a legal procedure; they’re a pursuit of accountability and fairness in the financial system as a whole.”

Should the FCA exist to protect customers or to save cash for big banks by excluding victims of financial scandals from receiving compensation?

FCA insulated banks from having to pay out billions in compensation to business customers they ripped-off by successfully pressuring “independent” reviewer of its handling of the swaps scandal John Swift KC into watering down his findings. @jameshurley

[James Hurley @jameshurley]

FCA successfully watered down criticism of its handling of a multi-billion pound banking scandal, with independent reviewer's finding that it breached its "regulatory mandate" by excluding thousands from compensation removed from final report 👇
