Tesla has reached a confidential settlement in a lawsuit filed by Raina Pierce, a former worker at its Fremont factory, who alleged racial harassment and discrimination. Pierce claimed her manager referred to the facility as “the plantation” and that she faced racial slurs from supervisors. The lawsuit, which highlighted systemic anti-Black racism at the California plant, was part of a broader pattern of legal actions against Tesla regarding workplace discrimination. Pierce's attorney, Hunter Pyle, confirmed the settlement followed court-ordered arbitration and mediation. Tesla continues to face multiple lawsuits alleging it has failed to adequately address racial harassment. California's Department of Fair Employment and Housing has also filed a suit against the company.

Bridget Phillipson, the Equalities Minister, has expressed her support for the recent Supreme Court ruling on gender recognition, saying that it provides essential clarity for spaces such as hospital wards and women's refuges. She plans to update Parliament on the ruling's implications for public bodies and businesses. While some Labour MPs worry about the ruling's impact on transgender individuals, Phillipson believes it is necessary for the safety of women, particularly those who have experienced male violence. The Equality and Human Rights Commission will collaborate with ministers to develop new guidance on implementing the ruling, which prioritises biological sex in single-sex facilities. Phillipson emphasised the need for appropriate services for all, including transgender individuals. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has welcomed the Supreme Court's ruling, saying that it provided "clarity" that "a woman is an adult female."

The Supreme Court's conservative majority indicated on Tuesday that it may require schools to provide opt-outs for parents objecting to LGBTQ+ books in elementary education. During oral arguments in Mahmoud v. Taylor, Justice Samuel Alito remarked: “The plaintiffs [a group of Muslim, Roman Catholic, and Ethiopian Orthodox parents] here are not asking the school to change its curriculum. They’re just saying, ‘look, we want out.’ What is the big deal about allowing them to opt out of this?” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil M. Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett also asked questions or made comments that suggested that they leaned toward the parents. The court's liberal justices argued that exposure to diverse ideas does not infringe on religious rights. The case involves the Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland, which approved books like “Prince & Knight” and “Born Ready,” aimed at promoting inclusivity. Critics of opt-out options warn it could lead to widespread curriculum disruptions. The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals previously sided with the schools, stating that the evidence on how the books were used was insufficient to determine any religious burden. A decision in the case is expected by late June or early July.

Some of the biggest U.S. consulting firms have offered billions in additional cuts to their contracts after the Trump administration told them that they needed to come up with deeper price concessions, or face consequences. The Wall Street Journal reports that seven of the 10 largest consulting firms to the government, including Accenture, Booz Allen, Deloitte, and IBM, have now offered up to $20bn in savings by proposing to either terminate existing contracts or reduce the scope of their work within federal agencies. Some are proposing to offer credits toward their work, or artificial intelligence services free of charge. The Trump administration has been cracking down on the consulting industry more broadly, with the Department of Government Efficiency regularly announcing new cancellations of consulting contracts. The Department of Defense earlier this month also said it planned to cut $5.1bn in consulting contracts.

Scotland's first criminal prosecution of a private prison has been announced following the death of Calum Inglis, a 34-year-old inmate who died alone in his cell at HMP Addiewell after contracting Covid-19 in 2021. The Lord Advocate has instructed proceedings against both Sodexo Ltd, which operates the prison, and NHS Lothian, over alleged failures to provide adequate medical care during Inglis’s isolation, despite his repeated pleas for help. Inglis, who was asthmatic and unvaccinated, deteriorated rapidly over 12 days, texting family about coughing blood and losing the ability to walk, before being found dead on October 24. His family and solicitor Aamer Anwar described the prosecution as "historic," marking one of the first legal actions in connection with Scotland’s 6,000 reported Covid-related deaths, and the first involving a private prison.

Perkins Coie and WilmerHale are today set to request judges to permanently block President Donald Trump's executive orders, which they argue are unconstitutional and threaten their business operations. The firms contend that the orders, imposed in March, retaliate against them for their past legal work and associations with attorneys viewed unfavorably by Trump. “Although Perkins Coie did not bring this suit lightly, it was compelled to do so to preserve its ability to continue representing the best interests of its clients,” lawyers for Perkins Coie wrote in a filing ahead of the hearing. “The Constitution does not permit our elected leaders, from any party, to punish lawyers by fiat for representing clients who oppose their political agendas. It would set a grave precedent for our Republic if the Order were allowed to stand.”

In its semiannual Global Financial Stability Report, the International Monetary Fund has said that global financial stability risks have increased significantly since the fall amid heightened economic uncertainty around trade policy and other geopolitical factors. "The overall level of policy uncertainty has increased . . . the forecast of economic activity going forward is slightly lower," observed Tobias Adrian, director of the IMF's monetary and capital markets department. The IMF identified three vulnerabilities that could affect financial stability going forward: valuations are still high in some equity and corporate debt markets despite recent selloffs, leaving room for further declines; some highly leveraged financial institutions could come under strain in volatile markets and exacerbate any selloffs; and further turmoil could weigh on sovereign debt markets.
