High Court Refuses Permission To Seek Judicial Review of FCA H2O Final Notice

In August 2024, the FCA issued a Final Notice against asset manager H2O AM LLP (‘H2O’), in which the FCA imposed a public censure on H2O, and H2O agreed to secure €250 million for unitholders. (Read the Final Notice.)

Collectif Porteurs H2O, a group of unitholders, issued proceedings for permission to seek judicial review of the FCA’s Final Notice.

The High Court has refused the application for permission to seek judicial review.

Saima Hanif KC and Maud Mullan were instructed by the FCA.
