FSCL's 'allegations against a very senior parliamentary officer'
FSCL first applied to use the “ombudsman” name in 2015 and was rejected. In 2016, Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier agreed to reconsider the application. It was declined again.
The dispute scheme, headed by Susan Taylor, applied for judicial review and had its application dismissed. It appealed to the Court of Appeal, where Boshier was directed to reconsider the application. In June last year, it was declined again.
The scheme argues that not being able to call itself an ombudsman scheme puts it at a disadvantage in the financial disputes resolution scheme environment, in which IFSO and the Banking Ombudsman are both using the term.
FSCL has now gone to the Court of Appeal seeking a review of the latest decision and, if successful, an order that the court substitute its decision for Boshier's, and remove and transfer FSCL's judicial review proceeding against Boshier to the Court of Appeal, from the High Court.
