Has an Energy Broker Demanded Commission for a Contract That Never Went Live?

If your business is being perused for commission payments for an energy contract that did not do live... Energy Solicitors can help you.

Commission Claims for Failed Energy Contracts

Energy brokers are increasingly pursuing businesses for commission payments where energy supplier contracts have failed to go live. These claims may be brought directly by the energy brokers themselves or by third‑party companies acting on their behalf, such as PreAction and, more recently, SGS Enforcement.

Such claims are often framed as allegations of breach of contract, with brokers relying on vague, unclear, or potentially unfair contractual terms to demand compensation for alleged loss of revenue. In most cases, the claimed “loss” relates to commission payments the broker would have received had the energy supply contract gone live.

We have seen claim amounts range from just a few hundred pounds to over £150,000.

We Can Help You Defend These Claims

At Energy Solicitors, we specialise in defending these types of claims.

Our legal team will:

  • Review the broker agreement and all correspondence

  • Challenge the validity of any alleged losses and request documentation to show that commission payments were fully disclosed and explained.

  • Expose any broker misrepresentation or poor conduct.

Recent Success: Claim Dismissed in Court

We recently successfully defended one of our clients at Trial. The case, brought by Utility Savings Group Limited, was dismissed by the Judge, saving our client nearly £4,000. This outcome demonstrates that these claims can be challenged and beaten with the right legal support.
