After considering the authorities including Brown-v-InnovatorOne PLC [2012] EWHC Comm 1321 and FCA-v-Asset Land PLC [2016] UKSC 17, His Honour Judge Hodge QC refused permission on the grounds that (a) the solicitor defendants were not carrying on or operating a scheme within the Act (b) even if they had been, there was no arguable claim for relief under the relevant statutory provisions, which struck at the investment contract and not at the solicitors’ retainer.
