Q&A: What the Arch cru redress scheme means for firms
What is a consumer redress scheme?
New powers were given to the FSA in 2010 to create consumer redress schemes to deal with specific market failures. Under section 404 of the Financial Services and Markets Act the FSA can require firms to review their sales and, where relevant, pay redress.
The FSA can set up a consumer redress scheme where they believe there has been a widespread or regular failure by firms to comply with regulatory requirements. Schemes can also be set up where consumers have suffered or may suffer a loss which a court would remedy, and where the FSA believes such a scheme is appropriate to deliver redress.
The Arch cru redress scheme would be the first time the FSA has used these powers.
