"DOUGLAS, ISLE OF MAN: Court case that will determine if investors, who lost large sums of money when an Icelandic bank collapsed, will receive compensation. Most have received no compensation. British investors who have lost money expected to attend and also take part in a demonstration outside the court at 0900."

Our man Michael Buchanan is there and will report live for us tonight. He's sent us these:

The court case begins in a few minutes, at 10am. Michael writes:

"A group of depositors - perhaps as many as 40, mostly British - have travelled to the Isle of Man for a court hearing that will decide how much money they'll get following the failure of an Icelandic bank on the island last year. Thousand of people lost vast sums of money - some millions - but most have not received a penny in compensation due to the way the IOM has dealt with the collapse of the bank. Today's court hearing is likely to determine whether the bank should be formally liquidated or whether an alternative scheme should be offered to depositors. They're all furious, including a woman from Surrey who's lost a seven figure amount in the bank."
