RBS battle with shareholders postponed until 2017
The lawsuit brought against RBS by thousands of its shareholders, in which the shareholders are claiming around £4bn in compensation, has been pushed back until 6th March, 2017, by a High Court judge in London. The shareholders claim that the bank's £12bn capital raising exercise in 2008 contained misstatements and omissions.

A High Court judge in Britain has delayed the trial in a long-running battle between Royal Bank of Scotland and shareholders, criticising the lender for being "unfocused" and swamped by 25 million documents.
