TERMS OF APPOINTMENT

What Marshall Scott will Do

We will act as your agent to:

1. Ascertain if you purchased company shares on the advice of a UK regulated stockbroker or adviser which has now closed;

2. Ascertain if valid grounds exist for making a claim that any shares were mis-sold to you; and if so

3. Pursue a claim for a refund directly with the Firm or associated firm, the Financial Ombudsman Service, or where necessary

the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, or FSCS (together “Relevant Parties”)

We should have access to supporting documentation from public records, and should valid grounds be established for a claim, we will oversee any claim, from its preparation and submission in final form to FSCS, and if the claim is successful, all administration through to agreement of refund and payment directly to you. We will notify you promptly if we conclude there are no valid grounds for a claim.

We will keep you updated on progress on the outcome of any claim submitted, or if unsuccessful, referral back for appeal if applicable. We will let you know promptly if any additional information should be required by the Relevant Parties. We will confirm the terms of any refund offer upon receipt, and if we consider the terms are acceptable. We will not accept any refund offer without your agreement.

All You need to Do

During the Claim Process

On receipt of your a signed Appointment Letter, you will simply need to complete a brief follow up questionnaire to confirm the circumstances of sale, and provide copies of paperwork you have retained as proof of the shares purchased and amount(s) paid (eg contract notes, statement, stockbroker correspondence), and notify us of any previous liability which any refund may be set against (eg bankruptcy, IVA). You will also notify us if you have any other means of making a claim (eg insurance cover for legal expenses)

If a claim is successful:

We will ensure that any refund is paid to you directly from FSCS; and

You undertake to pay our invoiced success fee (calculated at the rate set out below) from any refund you receive, and to settle our invoice immediately upon receipt of your refund and no later than 7 days from receipt of refund.

Our Success Fee

Our all inclusive success fee is 20% of the total cash refund you receive with no upfront charges or additional costs.

For example, if a cash refund of £1,000 is received, our fee would be £200. So our total fee would be £200, and you would retain £800.

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no charge whatsoever if you do not receive a cash refund.

Data Protection and Contact Permissions

Any documents which you provide or which we identify through our enquiries will be retained for a period of 6 years, following which they will be securely destroyed. In most cases we only require copies of documents, and if originals are required we will return these as soon as possible. We may contact you after your claim is concluded in order to update you on further developments which may relate to your prior claim or to other potential claims identified from which you may benefit, even if this occurs some months or years after our last contact with you.

We will not share your details with third parties, and we will not contact you or process your data, for any other purpose than that stated above.

You are entitled to withdraw or restrict this permission at any time by notifying us accordingly. You are also entitled to request at any time that we delete some or all the personal data we hold about you, although this may affect your claim unless your claim has already been submitted.

A copy of our privacy policy is available on our website or upon request. This provides full details of the type of personal data we may collect about you when interacting with you, how we store and handle your data and keep it safe, and an overview of your rights over your data.
