A contract for the construction of a building may have a penalty charge written into it in case of construction running overdue for instance. If memory serves a judge in the ongoing case ruled that the term was inappropriate here but the grounds for that were that consumers were not in breach of the terms of their contracts, rather than any notion of it being improper to apply caghrges for any breaches. This whole paragraph is ill-informed and POV pushing.

It is contended then that the article should remain and the community entrusted to delivery a well written concise explanation of the bank charges and the effects of them on that same community.

So a monthly fee for running a back account is not a bank charge? Nor are fees relating to (non-bounced) cheques or foreign currency transactions? Loan arrangement fees? All of these are bank charges in my book. The obsessive focus on one particular issue is distorting the very definition of the

and duplicating it here is a waste of time given that there is a cross-reference to the other article in any case. That article is also a better place for things relating to reclaiming/unfairness of bank charges, rather than the subject of what bank charges themselves

The OFT case is one aspect of bank charges: it is not the only one even in the UK. This article is wildy unbalanced at the moment. I would say that it is not a question of what to remove in this case: everything surrounding it should go and new material
