Looking on the OFT website and reading the OFT's anouncement back in december about the supreme courts decison......

http://www.oft.gov.uk/news/press/2009/144-09

it mentions :

'A number of options are available to secure the changes that the OFT wants to see, ranging from voluntary action to legislative change. The OFT will now discuss these issues intensively with banks, consumer groups and other organisations, with the aim of reporting on progress by the end of March 2010.'

Wheter the article is refering to that I am not sure?
