Libor Law
Stephen Gilchrist published in the Daily Law Newsletter
Banks may be forced to help compile key interest rates such as Euribor under a draft law EU financial services chief Michel Barnier will propose later this year to help clean up benchmark rates that several lenders have rigged. Elsewhere, the Independent carries a letter from Stephen Gilchrist of Saunders Law. Mr Gilchrist says he bets a dime to a dollar that RBS's fine for Libor rigging will be met with another blank taxpayer's cheque despite the bank's insistence that it will be paid by way of bonus clawbacks.
