On 1 August 2025 the Supreme Court handed down its much-anticipated judgment in the secret commission case of Hopcraft, Johnson & Wrench. The case has already had a seismic impact on broker commissions in fields including energy supply, financial advice, and lending.

On 3 April, shortly after the Supreme Court hearing finished, Simon Oakes and Emily Saunderson gave a seminar attempting to predict the outcome. With the judgment handed down last week, on Thursday 14 August 2025 Simon and Toby Chandler discussed the Supreme Court’s decision and its implications in this follow-up seminar.
