The Capital Markets Authority (CMA) has won a court battle with directors of the collapsed Imperial Bank, allowing the regulator to investigate them over the Sh2 billion corporate bond that the bank issued a month before it was placed in receivership.

Three appellate judges overturned a decision of the High Court barring the CMA from investigating circumstances under which the bank proceeded with the bond despite insider knowledge it was in trouble.
