Tim Lord KC, representing the borrowers, informed the court in written submissions that they witnessed their initial lender, Northern Rock, collapse in the 2008 financial crisis, with their mortgages later assumed by TSB.

Mr Lord highlighted that TSB required borrowers to apply for a new mortgage to access a cheaper rate or switch banks, but many were trapped by stricter affordability assessments introduced in 2014, leaving them "imprisoned".

He argued that some customers had been stuck paying higher interest rates for up to eight years, making the claim "of grave financial importance" as TSB had "disproportionately profited" from them.
