Uber, Lyft and others win California ruling to treat drivers as contractors

The California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 22, allowing gig economy companies including Uber and Lyft to classify drivers as independent contractors.

The ruling marks the end of a long legal battle and means that delivery and ride-hailing services will continue to operate under the current classification. The decision has significant implications for the over 1 million drivers in California and may have ripple effects on drivers in other U.S. states.

Four UK banks provided incorrect information to public

The CMA has issued directions to HSBC and public letters to HSBC, Lloyds TSB, and AIB. The banks are required to follow certain rules when informing customers, including displaying correct interest rates and accurate branch locations.
