High-profile financier sought £660m damages saying bank bosses misled her as she helped secure deal to save bank in 2008
Businesswoman Amanda Staveley has lost her high court battle against Barclays over allegations that the bank behaved deceitfully during its emergency fundraising during the financial crisis.
Staveley had sued the bank after her client, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi, invested £3.25bn in Barclays when the bank turned to Qatar and Abu Dhabi to raise money and avoid a UK government bailout. The verdict means Barclays will not have to pay the £660m sought by Staveley.
