The court of appeal ruling is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal cases for the asset finance industry, with implications that extend across both regulated and unregulated broker-introduced business. Most lenders and brokers believe this judgment creates barriers to growth by increasing compliance burdens and limiting flexibility. But might it actually pave the way for a more sustainable and transparent industry?

This December, AFC will unpack this crucial issue in an end of year debate, where industry thought leaders will explore two sides of the argument:

  • Barrier to Growth: The ruling can only negatively impact growth by creating significant challenges for lenders, introducing additional regulatory and legal complexities that hinder innovation and discourage capital flow into broker-introduced business.
  • Positive Change: The ruling provides opportunity for the sector to enhance consumer trust, improve transparency, and adopt more robust, customer-centric practices that could strengthen the industry in the long term.

Through the debate AFC will seek to offer exclusive insights into the potential impact of the ruling for the asset finance sector and the broader implications for broker-led business.
