英最高法院判汽車貸款佣金 或引銀行巨額賠償




英國最高法院將公布汽車貸款佣金的關鍵判決,或令大型銀行面臨數十億英鎊賠償

倫敦消息——英國最高法院將於本週五公布一項備受關注的判決,涉及汽車貸款佣金的法律問題,此判決可能決定主要銀行是否需支付數十億英鎊的賠償款。

英國貸款機構Close Brothers與南非FirstRand銀行正尋求推翻此前英國上訴法院的里程碑式判決。上訴法院裁定,經紀人必須獲得客戶的充分知情同意,才能從貸款方收取佣金。

這項涉及三宗相關案件的判決,對每年規模達400億英鎊(約530億美元)的汽車金融行業造成巨大震動,也對Close Brothers、Lloyds等受影響最深的企業股價帶來壓力。

Lloyds銀行已撥備11.5億英鎊應對潛在賠償,西班牙桑坦德銀行(Banco Santander)英國分行撥備2.9億英鎊,巴克萊銀行則撥備9,500萬英鎊。

監管機構金融行為監管局(FCA)正考慮推出補償計劃,但分析師警告,該計劃可能令整個銀行業付出數百億英鎊的代價。

FCA表示,將在最高法院判決後六週內確認是否實施補償計劃。

2024年10月,上訴法院裁定,當貸款佣金屬於「秘密」時,貸款方需對消費者負責;若佣金披露不足以獲得知情同意,貸款方亦可能承擔責任。

FCA的律師在4月的最高法院上訴中辯稱,上訴法院判決「過於嚴苛」,這提升了貸款方希望減輕損失的可能。

案件的潛在廣泛影響亦引發媒體報導,指英國財政大臣Rachel Reeves可能立法防止貸款方承擔重大財務損失,但此舉或會削弱她推動經濟增長的努力。

財政部對此未作出回應。

最高法院將於週五格林威治標準時間15:35後公布判決,屆時倫敦金融市場已經收市。法院強調:「判決公布時間不應被解讀為對上訴結果的任何暗示。」

編者評論:

這宗涉及汽車貸款佣金的最高法院判決,無疑將對英國金融業尤其是汽車金融市場帶來深遠影響。上訴法院的裁決本意是保障消費者權益,要求經紀人必須獲得客戶的充分知情同意,防止銀行或貸款機構暗中從中牟利。這反映了監管層面對金融透明度和消費者保護的嚴格要求。

然而,這也為銀行和貸款機構帶來巨大財務風險,特別是在佣金模式普遍存在的汽車貸款行業。多家銀行已大幅撥備,反映了他們對潛在賠償的擔憂。FCA提出的補償計劃若實施,將可能掀起整個銀行業的連鎖反應,影響金融穩定和經濟增長。

此外,財政大臣可能介入立法,阻止銀行蒙受過大損失,這反映了政府在消費者保護與經濟發展之間尋求平衡的複雜局面。若立法阻止銀行承擔賠償,長遠看可能削弱監管效果,消費者權益或受損。

整體而言,這場法律爭議不僅是關於佣金披露的技術細節,更牽涉到金融透明度、消費者信任、銀行風險管理及政府政策取向的多重議題。無論結果如何,這都將成為英國金融監管史上的重要案例,值得業界和投資者密切關注。
