* Note however that it is LBIE’s view that a Client Money Entitlement arises in relation to sums specifically segregated on behalf of a client by LBIE prior to 07.56am on 15 September, 2008 and where the sums remained segregated as of this time (notwithstanding that the form of contract may not otherwise provide for a Client Money Entitlement). There may however be some limited instances where a Client Money Claim is determined by LBIE not to arise notwithstanding segregation of sums. In such cases, the relevant clients will be contacted directly by LBIE to explain the rationale for such a determination.
