ABSTRACT
In a much-anticipated decision, the UK Supreme Court has settled a question on the scope of a bank’s duty of care when processing payments authorised by a customer or their agent. The duty has been narrowly construed in this context. This comment criticizes the decision for not responding to the societal problem of scam payments, and compares it with Singapore case law on the subject which, as it stands, construes the bank’s duty more broadly.
