Emeritus Prof Christopher May

As the ramifications of the court finding in favour of consumers miss-sold car financing ripples though the banking sector we're starting to see how much money might be involved in compensation;

Lloyds have already allowed £450mn in their accounts to cover settlements while Santander have set aside £295mn.

Estimates that the entire compensation could finally be around £30bn nw don't look so off the mark.

A lot of people in banking are hoping the appeal is successful!

Thinking about the 00s here..
