In 1762 Equitable Life Assurance Society was established as the first mutual life assurance company, set up and run for its members and continues to run as the oldest mutual life assurance company in the UK. Although the longest surviving life assurance company, it has in recent years undergone an exceptionally difficult period. Following a House of Lords ruling against the Society in July 2000, the company closed to new business on 8 December 2000. The operating assets and the economic interest in much of the non profit business was sold to Halifax in February 2001. From March 2001 Equitable continued as an independent company with services provided under contract by Halifax.
