Nigeria Loses $1.7bn Court Case Against JP Morgan

The Federal Government of Nigeria on Tuesday lost a $1.7 billion London court case against JP Morgan Chase & Co for the bank’s role in the transfer of millions of dollars to a former oil minister convicted for corruption.

JP Morgan was accused by the federal government of breaching its Quincecare duty.

According to the Nigeria government, the action of JP Morgan breaches the rules which obliges banks to disregard a customer’s instructions if following those instructions might actually facilitate fraud against that customer.

A London High Court judge on Tuesday ruled that no such breach took place.

Nigeria contended in a six-week trial that the US investment bank acted carelessly when it transferred $875 million in payments from government accounts to Dan Etete, a former Minister of Petroleum, who had been convicted of money laundering between 2011 and 2013.

The case looked into the scope of a bank’s duty of care to its customers and whether it should have stopped payments notwithstanding assurances from government officials.
