I cannot believe that people are still asking this question, but better late than never.

It's neither per person, nor per insitution.

It's per person(s), per FSA registration. So Abbey and A&L are the same group of comapnies, but have separate FSA registrations.

If you have a joint account, then it is assumed a 50:50 split in the account.

But as Bagpuss says, it's all on MSE.

It's 50k per parent institution. Have a look at the table below...

A few questions in relation to depositor protection..

According to this article http://www.contractoruk.com/news/004019.html if you have your ltd company account and your personal account at the same institution you are only covered to a total of £50,000.00. Is this correct? They are separate entities so find this difficult to believe. If this is the case I think I need to look at moving my personal accounts to a new institution.

Secondly is the £50,000.00 protection cover per person or per institution? For example lets say one has two personal accounts at two different institutions both with the £50k in them and they both went bust, would one be coved for the full £100K?
