Fra 12. til 16. juli 2021 vil Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) tage stilling til, hvorvidt det skal godkende en begæring om kollektivt søgsmål/gruppesøgsmål (FX Claim UK ) indbragt af Phillip Evans, repræsentant for gruppen og tidligere formand for undersøgelseskomitéen ved den britiske Competition and Markets Authority. Søgsmålet er rettet mod enheder, der indgår i følgende bankkoncerner: Barclays, Citibank, The Royal Bank of Scotland/NatWest, JPMorgan, UBS og MUFG Bank.
Hver af bankerne har indrømmet overtrædelser af EU's konkurrencelovgivning i forbindelse med spothandel med valuta. Phillip Evans’ foreslåede krav søger kompensation fra bankerne på vegne af foreslåede grupper af personer, som hævdes at have lidt tab som følge af bankernes deltagelse i de pågældende overtrædelser.
CAT har udstedt en bekendtgørelse vedrørende dette retsmøde, som kan findes her .
Phillip Evans har engageret Hausfeld & Co LLP, et førende advokatfirma inden for tvister og konflikter, til at føre sagen. Hausfeld & Co LLP’s amerikanske søsterselskab, Hausfeld LLP, er et af de førende advokatfirmaerne i et lignende kollektivt søgsmål i USA, der inddrev mere end 2,3 mia. USD til personer, som var blevet berørt af overtrædelser mht. valutahandel i USA.
Phillip Evans' begæring anmoder CAT om at godkende kravet som kvalificeret til at fortsætte som kollektivt søgsmål på vegne af berettigede enheder og enkeltpersoner samt at godkende, at Phillip Evans agerer som repræsentant for gruppen.
CAT behandler Phillip Evans' begæring samtidigt med en anden begæring om kollektivt søgsmål relateret til valutahandelskarteller, der er fremsat af Michael O’Higgins FX Class Representative Limited. Det betyder, at CAT skal afgøre, hvilken af repræsentanterne der er bedst egnet til at handle som repræsentant for gruppen. Dette er første gang, at CAT er blevet bedt om at afklare en tvist af denne type i relation til kollektive søgsmål.
Enhver person med interesse i de to begæringer (herunder foreslåede medlemmer af gruppen) kan gøre indsigelse mod en af eller begge begæringerne eller bemyndigelsen af en af eller begge foreslåede repræsentanter ved at kontakte CAT og angive deres grunde til at gøre indsigelse senest kl. 16.00 den 4. maj 2021. Disse personer kan også anmode om tilladelse til at fremsætte skriftlige og/eller mundtlige bemærkninger under retsmødet i juli ved at sende en ansøgning herom, understøttet med begrundelser, til domstolen senest kl. 16.00 den 4. maj 2021.
Phillip Evans udtaler: "Det er i gruppens medlemmers interesse, at spørgsmål om certificering og valg af repræsentant afgøres så hurtigt som muligt. Det glæder mig, at domstolen har besluttet at afholde retsmødet om certificeringen i juli 2021."
Med forbehold for eventuelle ændringer som følge af Covid-19-pandemien vil retsmødet finde sted i Competition Appeal Tribunal, Salisbury Square House, 8 Salisbury Square, London EC4Y 8AP. For oplysninger om, hvordan du deltager i domstolens behandling af de to begæringer ved at aflevere skriftlige bemærkninger eller for at ansøge om at blive hørt ved retsmødet i juli, skal du gå ind på www.fxclaimuk.com og læse CATs bekendtgørelse her .

Vercel Brings New Agent Framework, Full-Stack Capabilities, and Enterprise Controls to Its Agentic Infrastructure Platform17.6.2026 12:13:00 CEST | Press release
As agents become the primary way software is built and deployed, Vercel connects its frontend, backend, and agent tooling into a single platform for shipping and running agents at scale. Today at Ship, its annual conference, Vercel introduced a set of new products that deepen its agentic infrastructure platform trusted by DoorDash, Helly Hansen, OpenAI, Stripe, and The Weather Company. Founder and CEO Guillermo Rauch and other Vercel leaders unveiled the lineup on stage, anchored by three shifts the products address: agents are now the dominant way software gets deployed, every application is becoming agentic, and enterprises need to run agents in production securely and at scale. The transition is well underway. Six months ago, fewer than three percent of deployments to Vercel infrastructure were triggered by coding agents. Agents now account for more than half. Token volume through Vercel's AI Gateway has grown from roughly two trillion to twenty trillion per month over the same peri
NIQ Introduces NIQ Cadence: A Compound AI Operating System for Marketing Effectiveness17.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release
One system unifies NIQ’s global data, models, and knowledge so marketers move from insight to impact faster, with deeper intelligence, at scale. NIQ (NYSE: NIQ), a global leader in consumer intelligence, today introduced NIQ Cadence, a compound AI operating system built to change how organizations measure marketing performance, optimize budgets, and act on what the data tells them. NIQ Cadence brings data and intelligence into one continuous environment, moving marketers off fragmented reports and onto a single system that empowers decision making. Marketing has never been more complex. Channels keep multiplying, data sits in silos, and the pressure to prove ROI keeps climbing. As a result, most teams still stitch insight and action together by hand, losing time and confidence at every handoff. NIQ Cadence closes that gap with one system where measurement and decision-making finally run together. “Marketing leaders don’t need more reports. They need a better rhythm,” said Jason Tate, G
Winning With AI Requires Organizational Transformation, Not Speed of Adoption, Finds New Arthur D. Little Report17.6.2026 12:00:00 CEST | Press release
To successfully embrace the power of AI, businesses need to remove organizational complexity and eliminate unnecessary work, rather than simply using it for fragmented, incremental improvements. Boards must act now to deliver this. That is the key message from AI-First or Disrupted: Beating the Nightmare Competitor, a new report from Arthur D. Little (ADL) based on concrete examples from leading organizations. Within three to five years, AI-first competitors will make faster decisions, have flatter organizations, and operate at lower costs. They will not just optimize handovers between teams, approvals, and reconciliation work; they will eliminate these complex processes entirely. AI is completely changing the economics of work and value creation, removing the need for coordination across multiple teams, while also enabling adaptive, predictive, and personalized products and services. This delivers both lower operational costs and a fundamentally stronger value proposition. However, mo
