Options UK Personal Pensions (formerly Carey UK Pensions) has sought permission from the Supreme Court to appeal the recent judgment by the Court of Appeal in the long-running and pivotal Adams v Carey SIPP case.

A Court of Appeal Judge has overturned a previous High Court ruling to side with claimant Russell Adams against Carey Pensions in the long-running and pivotal ‘Adams’ SIPP case.

STM Group, the financial services and SIPP provider, has added £5m to its takeover war chest to fund further acquisitions.

SIPP and cross-border financial services firm STM has expressed “disappointment” at the Court of Appeal’s decision to allow a challenge to the judgment in the long-running ‘Adams’ case.
