Berkeley Burke Mis-sold SIPP Investment Claim

Berkeley Burke recently lost a High Court case in which it was challenging the outcome of a Financial Ombudsman Service decision against it.  The Financial Ombudsman Service had ruled that Berkeley Burke failed in its duty of care to consumers by not adequately checking the suitability of the investments it allowed into its SIPP. The unsuitable investment in question for this case was an unregulated collective investment scheme involving plots of agricultural land in Cambodia.

The High Court judgement confirms and establishes with greater certainty that SIPP Providers have a due diligence requirement to check the suitability of unregulated investments when allowing them into a SIPP.
