Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
The main reason to throw it out would have been a lack of evidence. Evidence that the plaintiffs still haven’t got, years later. I hope there will be no settlement, to teach a lesson to those who pay a tenner but claim a million back. Bandits, nothing else. Mafia style. Paying them would create a precedent.
Boohoo doesn’t need Ted Baker….when was the last time they made a profit? The same stuff they tried to sell for decades, nothing new. Plus the worst customer service in the world…shocking! Tried to cancel an order a few hours after placing it last month, only to be told it was too late. No offer of a free return either. Then it took a bloody week for the order to arrive from a few miles away. Yeah, “too late” my arse. I sent it back immediately, with their own return label, but received a refund for only one of the two items! It took me several days and emails and a lot of sweat (the item missing from refund was worse several hundred pounds) to get some patronising twat saying that it is common practice to refund one item at a time. They also deducted TWICE the return costs, and didn’t offer to refund the delivery price. And the items were overpriced cheap plastic too…never again.
The plaintiffs need to prove that the items were never sold at their full price. As far as we know, they couldn’t. They have little leverage to blackmail Boohoo into a larger settlement, especially when knowing that if they win the trial, only a few hundred dollars (how much they paid for the items) is what they get :)
The reason while they can blackmail Boo into a settlement, is because they claim that if it comes to a trial and the plaintiffs win, other customers may be entitled to a compensation. However, the chances that Boohoo would lose a potential trial (as well as the consequences) are minimal. Firstly, the plaintiffs couldn’t find anything on boohoo ( this is why they dragged their feet so much). They couldn’t even interview Kamani and others due to the time difference.
If I were Boohoo, I wouldn’t pay a cent to the blackmailers. They are three private consumers who bought items worth a few hundred dollars from Boo. Then claimed they have been deceived by the discount to think the quality matched the original price. If it comes to a trial and they win, they will not be compensated with more than what they’ve paid. Their point is to blackmail Boo into giving them much more in a settlement.
….on the Polygon blockchain. It shows how alert, flexible and eager they are to move forward, jumping on new, lucrative trends.
The future looks bright for Boo. They are fast learners and improvers. The new factory and the recent overhaul of they supply chain in the UK placed them in the best position to tackle the changes that are about to come to the fashion industry. Changes that will eliminate weak competition, as well as those who have an unfair advantage by exploiting their suppliers and avoiding taxes, like Shein. The advantage of Shein in the US is soon to be terminated, when they (the items that ship directly and tax free from China) will be heavily taxed (google the minimis US). I hope that Shein will suffer the same fate in the EU when the new legislation will be introduced.
"FTSE Russell will place Russia under the “unclassified” market. A standalone country index using local exchange prices will be available instead.
The Russian market will have to be re-evaluated again when sanctions are removed, meaning its return will not be automatic."
Let this sink in!
"The firms will be deleted from all FTSE Russell indices “in conjunction with the forthcoming March 2022 index reviews, at zero value.” This change will be effective from the open on 21 March 2022.
The subsidiary had already announced that it would drop Russian bonds from its fixed-income indexes.
This came after reports of a “complete inability for international investors to repatriate bond proceeds in ruble and non-ruble denominated assets” from the Russian government and bond issuers."
It is not joining the FTSE 250 index! Or any other index! Some of you should actually read the news!
Guys, you've got one week left until you wouldn't be able to trade this Russian dog any longer!
"Asked if this meant higher taxes on goods coming from countries like China and India, Eustice said he would phrase it differently. “We would be saying, as countries taking the action necessary to deal with this global challenge, that we’re not going to allow those producers in this country to be undercut by those who aren’t doing their share,” he said.
In the past, No 10 has been wary about endorsing CO2 border taxes. Boris Johnson is known to dislike anything that suggests consumers may have to pay a price for the shift towards net zero.
But at their summit in Cornwall in the summer, G7 leaders acknowledged the need to tackle the problem of “carbon leakage”, in language that acknowledged the case for border taxes. The EU has published its own plan for what is effectively a CO2 border tax, known as the carbon border adjustment mechanism."
