Apology from the bank 1-nil
government intervention and public statements criticising the bank 2-nil
apology from the BBC 3-nil
CEO's scalp is definitely 4-nil
huge publicity against the bank 5-nil
I'm not a football expert, but I somehow think this wont end in a penalty shoot out.
The basis of his claim for damages:
His claim is a mix of contract, regulatory and criminal misconduct. Other than the special categories, the damages claim for defamation is really the weakest part of his claim. That is not to say its weak by any means, but there have been "serious errors of judgment" on the part of the bank and beyond the contractual breach, which is a pretty simple element, there have been some criminal offences committed.
1. Breach of contract - breach of confidentiality, failure to treat in accordance with the contract. .e.g their data privacy policy, terms of service, fairness, general bad faith etc.
2. Breach of the Data protection Act. Unlawful processing of personal data without consent, unlawful disclosure
3. Breach of Payment Account Regulations. Unlawful discrimination, notice to quit etc.
4. Defamation

No facts then? Thought not
Let me check. What was the confidential data that the bank disclosed, that had not previously been publicised by Farage?
What damage did the bank do to him?
I suppose when in retreat you've got to fall on any kind of ****** to save face.
What was the personal data that the bank processed without consent?
What was the defamation?
The days are truly strange...i agree with you on a topic involving Farrage; you're using football metaphors.
Perhaps these are forebodings for the world's end?
What is the Nigel Farage row about and what does it mean for me?
Ministers are pressing ahead with accelerated reforms to give customers more rights on so-called de-banking.

– Why did Dame Alison resign?
The exit of NatWest’s boss was more to do with a breach of confidentiality.
Dame Alison admitted making a “serious error of judgement” in giving inaccurate information to a BBC journalist.
She had suggested Coutts’s decision to close Mr Farage’s account was because he fell under the financial threshold required to hold account, rather than because his values did not align with the bank.
She faced mounting pressure to resign over concerns she breached privacy and confidentiality rules in discussing Mr Farage’s relationship with the bank.

and according to most of the press - she admitted being the source of the leak, now the focus has shifted to her severance package.
hard to justify good leaver status when your actions wiped £850m of the banks value. However, I suspect she has negotiated a deal. I suspect NF is also doing the same.
@JohnD, if you accept there are benefits to a Coutts account, then you must accept losing one causes damages, if you accept, having to publish nasty and prejudice material about you, to defend your reputation, you must accept these can be damaging. Lastly, simply causing someone distress and effort, is sufficient for a claim. You don't like him because of his politics. But imagine this was you -> debanked because you are a leftie. Where does it end.
