The new FCA consumer duty: the interrelationship with regulatory and common law obligations

This article considers the FCA’s proposed consumer duty. It concludes that:

  • the extent to which the New Consumer Duty imposes a higher standard than that already contained in FCA Handbook Principles 6 and 7 is especially dependent on interpretation of the Price and Value Outcome;
  • the interrelationship between the New Consumer Duty and existing regulatory and common law obligations poses uncertainty to regulated firms; and
  • there are likely to be differences in the enforcement approach of the FCA, civil courts and the FOS.
