Main issue seems that these are mortgages that were taken out before trackers arrived on the market. The customers then requested a move o a tracker, then they requested a move to a fixed rate and then they did not take up any of the options and reverted back to the standard rate that the original mortgage was on.Hi John
I don't even know which issues are being challenged.
If there are three different issues the case could take a few days and it usually takes the Judge a few months to issue a decision.

If that is the issue with these cases I am not sure how it would relate to mine as my mortgage was taken out as a tracker rate originally so may be not related to my case either way hopefully the Ombudsman gets the result.Main issue seems that these are mortgages that were taken out before trackers arrived on the market.

UB's argument is that you don't revert to the immediate previous rate. I can see some merit in their argument, but can't see it succeeding as a customer would have seen the move to a tracker as a permanent rate change whereas a move to a fixed rate is a change for just that period and that should then revert to the rate of the most recent permanent change when that period is up.
My money is on a win for the Ombudsman
Any coverage or reports on today's proceedings
