BELit - helping you claim back unlawful commission payments
- Business Energy Litigation (BELit) is a legal group action in which companies are joining together to pursue their legal claims against energy providers. See Who Can Claim.
- It targets the unlawful payment by energy suppliers to brokers of hidden, secret commissions.
- The goal is to recover significant amounts of compensation for businesses that signed up to contracts for gas and electricity through brokers – at any time since 2012.
- Legal costs will be paid on behalf of claimants by a third-party litigation funder; insurance will be put in place to pay the defendants’ costs should the claims not be successful. In other words, such potential “adverse costs” will not be payable by claimants.
- There is therefore no financial risk, and no upfront cost involved in registering and pursuing legal action through BELit: the funder will deduct a share of any legal recovery only on success.
- Claimant businesses will receive the significant majority of legal recoveries (see below).
- BELit is managed by RGL Management Limited (RGL), highly experienced in group litigation using top-tier solicitors and barristers.
- Leading law firms, Fladgate LLP and TYR Law, have been engaged to run this claim.
- Claims are likely to be worth tens to hundreds of thousands of pounds depending on energy usage.
- To register your interest, with no obligation, please complete the registration form today. RGL do all the work; you only need to provide basic documents, such as your energy bill/s, to allow your energy consumption and potential claim to be assessed.
Potential claim value
In a high energy usage business the claim can amount to hundreds of thousands of pounds, averaging c.£60,000 per company.
Claimants receive the significant majority of proceeds
The BELit deduction is a market-leading 20% to 25% (ex VAT), only charged at the end of the process, and only if your claim is successful.
This is used to pay for:
- Reimbursement of the amounts funded during the legal action;
- Funder’s success fees;
- Insurance success premium;
- Lawyers’ success fees;
- RGL’s fees.
- This deduction is made only on success; if the claims are not successful, you will pay nothing.
A financial illustration will be provided before you are required to commit to the legal action.
Other group actions charge significantly more. These are extracts from their websites:
- “33% of the damages received by you plus VAT (if applicable) plus your proportionate share of disbursements such as After the Event Insurance premiums.” and
- “a maximum of 36.5% (including VAT and expenses) of the compensation.”
