Bahrain Court Rejects All Claims Against HDFC Bank in Credit Suisse AT1 Bond Cases
HDFC Bank has won all seven legal cases filed by investors in Bahrain concerning Credit Suisse Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds, which were written down during UBS's takeover of Credit Suisse. The Bahrain High Civil Court rejected allegations of mis-selling, gross negligence, and other claims, citing insufficient admissible evidence from investors. The court also ordered investors to bear the costs of proceedings. These rulings follow a similar dismissal by India's National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission earlier in 2026. Despite the legal victories, HDFC Bank's shares have recently declined amid broader market concerns.
