Landmark Court Case Underscores KWS Litigation Investment Prospects

Recent developments following a landmark court case concerning a mis-sold business energy contract underscores the added value, importance and dynamic investment prospect that KWS Litigation represents.

The landmark court case concerning a County Durham-based small amusement arcade business, trading under the name Queenie’s Casino Slots, has received substantial compensation.

ENGIE, a global energy group operating in three key sectors, was found liable for the mis-selling of the energy contract.

This case has opened up the floodgates for legal claims from thousands of small businesses, with turnovers below £1.8 million, in what has been described as a scandal surpassing the scale of PPI mis-selling.

Unlike residential consumers, most businesses in the UK require specialised energy supply contracts, typically arranged through energy brokers. These brokers negotiate with energy suppliers on behalf of businesses to secure more favourable contracts than businesses could directly obtain.

However, it has come to light that brokers have been discreetly adding undisclosed commissions to energy tariffs while claiming to secure the best available prices for their clients. This deceptive practice—which has persisted for decades, has now been exposed, leading to a surge in legal claims. For many businesses grappling with the energy crisis, these hidden fees could mean the difference between survival and closure.

Ofgem addressed this loophole in October 2022, subsequently mandating brokers to disclose their commissions to clients.

Westbrooke Associates began promoting investment into KWS Litigation in February 2024 by means of introducing a pioneering investment opportunity in litigation funding.

This innovative financial avenue enables investors to back business energy claims without imposing financial strain on claimants—ordinary small business owners and non-domestic energy users, including charities, sports and social clubs and places of worship who have fallen prey to unethical practices.

The distinctive aspect of litigation funding presents investors with the potential for significantly higher returns compared to other alternative asset classes, rendering it a highly attractive investment choice.

KWS Litigation takes on meritorious legal cases via investor funding for claims including mis-sold loan agreements and business energy claims. KWS Litigation values the average business energy claim between £25,000 – £50,000.

“This has the potential to be the next PPI scandal with thousands of innocent business owners being misled and mis-sold contracts. A major energy supplier deliberately concealed costs from a small business and that is huge. This is a multi-billion-pound issue and at a time when businesses struggle with growing costs across the board, it is important for them to look at their contracts and ensure they aren’t missing out on what is rightfully theirs.”
