Whayman, D. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1026-5646 (2026) The Motor Finance Litigation Hopcraft v Close Brothers Ltd [2025] UKSC 33, [2025] 3 WLR 423. Legal Studies: The Journal of the Society of Legal Scholars. ISSN 1748-121X (In Press)

Abstract/Summary

The motor finance litigation, Hopcraft v Close Brothers Ltd [2025] UKSC 33, [2025] 3 WLR 423, shows how English law deals with the agency problem where a consumer buys a car on credit from a dealer who takes a secret commission from the lender or hides other salient facts from the buyer. The work has been taken on by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, ss 140A–D, supplanting fiduciary law and its common law equivalents, which remain only for other circumstances.
