Shore v Sedgwick Financial Services Ltd and another [2008] EWCA Civ 863; [2008] WLR (D) 255

“Where a client, on the advice of a financial adviser, shifted his pension investment from a relatively safe occupational final salary pension scheme to a new more risky personal pension income withdrawal scheme, which later suffered in value owing to falling annuity rates, the client’s right to sue the adviser in negligence accrued on the date when the transfer was made and was not contingent upon the subsequent occurrence of loss in value or his even later discovery of such loss.”
