COMP 10.2 Limits on compensation payable
The limits on the maximum compensation sums payable by the FSCS for protected claims are set out in COMP 10.2.3 R.
The limits apply to the aggregate amount of claims in respect of each category of protected claim that an eligible claimant has against the relevant person (or, where applicable, a successor)18. Consequently, a claimant who has, for example, a claim against a relevant person (or, where applicable, a successor)18 in connection with protected investment business of £40,000126, and a further such claim of £20,0006 , will only receive the £50,000 limit.12
