If someone gets a tracker mortgage back, that would be worth a substantial amount of money. That would be a large settlement from the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman's office. These are people who first had to go through the bank's internal systems, the so-called independent appeals process and then to the ombudsman's office. Will the ombudsman be publishing the brief relating to those 37 cases? I do not think the legislation requires him to do so but it is very important that people can see what is happening with these settlement cases.
