HU the lawyers as always making a fortune.."The order also noted that the lenders also have to pay nearly £65,000 for the claimants’ costs of the proceedings, the Appeal hearing and interim payment by 4pm 15 November."...grr gl hu.

The order pointed out that it is not the practice of the court to give reasons for refusal, but the court provided its clarification in this case.

It noted: “It is of the view that there are no arguable grounds for appeal in the present case, which was the clearest possible example of payment of a secret commission to a fiduciary.”

“The law in this area is well settled and in no need of any further clarification,” the court added.

"After a landmark ruling last month in the motor finance test case, the Court of Appeal has hit Close Brothers with yet another blow after refusing its application to take its case to the Supreme Court"...........wondering why ?

Re Budget...."Over 200 of the UK’s biggest hospitality businesses signed a letter to the Chancellor yesterday warning that the additional tax bill will force some businesses into liquidation and that others will have to drastically reduce their headcount and slash investment in order to meet the additional costs imposed by Labour’s first Budget".

..I know a lot of recent labour voters/supporters who are a bit annoyed/embarrassed by their party's WFP policy straight after the election..they wasn't expecting it at all..even their Unite union are seeking legal action the WFPpolicy..some of these Labour supporters get annoyed when it's brought up because even they feel let down I believe..anyways have a good weekend all.

CW... last winter pensioners were given up to £650 of which £300 was an extra cost of living payment...this year many deserving pensioners are getting zero....for those just above the threshold and for them deserving elderly who for some reason don't claim pension credit its a blow.....at least try and show some empathy towards these veterans and others especially over remembrance weekend

Retired troops forced to skip meals and stay indoors to make ends meet.."Mike ryan served in the Royal Navy for 25 years but has been left in "dire straits"after being stripped of the winter fuel allowance....His wife Liz told the Telegraph"Mike fought in three wars.Now the govt could destroy us "....................think of this on remembrance weekend....disgrace imo....more in the telegraph article.

After all the previous very derogatory comments by lammy about trump this recent one about the meeting in new york just made me pmsl..........Lammy called the incoming president "a very gracious host" who offered him "a second portion of chicken" during their dinner.......just made me laugh.. i would probably respect lammy more if he resigned.....a very liquid friends 70th party today ..gla have a good weekend

I have been told that the 18 members of the labour cabinet have never had any real experience running a business....is this true ?....all i could find was this " a motley crew of career politicians, union reps, and those who have spent their lives ensconced in the warm embrace of the public sector, where losses can be plugged with taxpayers’ hard-earned cash and where “profit” is but a dirty word muttered in hushed tones."........i am very open to be corrected..........gla & have a good weekend.
