The long-running dispute between the creditors of BCCI and the Bank of England has finally been brought to a close with the agreement of a £75.3m costs settlement, announced last week (7 June).

The BCCI creditors, advised by Lovells, have agreed to pay £73.6m plus £1.7m in interest. The figure is thought to match almost exactly the amount of legal fees racked up on the case by the Bank of England’s lawyers, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
