their mortgages from tracker rates to fixed interest rates with
Ulster Bank and were later denied the option to return to tracker
rates. The Complainants, unhappy with Ulster Bank's decision,

section 60(2)(a) and (g) of the Financial Services and Pension
Ombudsman Act 2017 (2017 Act), finding Ulster
Bank's conduct contrary to law and otherwise improper.
