ORGANISED by the Vehicle Remarketing Association (VRA) in partnership with motor retail legal specialists Geldards, Jonathan Kirk KC (pictured) will lead an industry wide briefing on discretionary commission payments.
Jonathan, who is ranked as the star individual silk for consumer law by Chambers and Partners and a Band One KC by the Legal 500, will be joined by Jonathan Goulding of Gough Square Chambers at the Milton Keynes Dons football ground on 16 May.
The event is being hosted by Suzuki GB.
While VRA meetings are normally only open to the organisation’s members, the full capacity of the venue is being opened up to motor industry professionals in recognition of the importance of the subject. Attendance is free.
“Especially since the involvement of Martin Lewis, the subject of DCAs has been a preoccupation for many parts of motor retail, from dealers to finance providers, and this event is designed to provide both expert guidance and an open platform for discussion.”
Philip Nothard, Chair of the VRA Tweet
The involvement of Gough Street Chambers has been arranged by Jonathan Butler, the VRA’s legal counsel, who added: “The quality of legal guidance here will be of the very highest quality and we are sure that delegates will receive an excellent briefing in the subject, ultimately having a much better idea where they stand.”
Suzuki GB is hosting the event and will be both presenting details on their remarketing strategy and the new Swift, which is beginning to arrive in the UK.
Dale Wyatt, Automotive Director at Suzuki GB, said: “We’re very pleased to be able to support this important discussion for the motor industry while having the opportunity to brief the audience about the latest exciting developments here at Suzuki.”
