The California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 22, allowing gig economy companies including Uber and Lyft to classify drivers as independent contractors. The court rejected claims that the law is unconstitutional, stating that it does not interfere with lawmakers' authority over workers' compensation. 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 over 1m drivers in California and may have ripple effects on drivers in other U.S. states. The law, which passed with 59% of the vote, grants limited benefits to drivers but exempts companies from providing full-fledged employee rights. Labor groups expressed disappointment but highlighted other avenues for workplace protections.

Almost two-thirds of British jobs could be "enhanced" with AI, according to research commissioned by Google. The study found that 61% of jobs in the UK will be "radically" transformed by AI, while 31% will be "insulated" from the technology. The report also said that only a small number of jobs are likely to be fully phased out by AI, with the financial and insurance sector forecast to lose just 4% of jobs. Google is partnering with various organisations to introduce AI technology into workplaces in a way that boosts workers' abilities. The government supports this trial, which aims to deliver AI skills training to help careers flourish and businesses grow. “Fewer than 50% of people are actually taking advantage of these tools in their working life on a day to day basis,” said Debbie Weinstein, managing director of Google UK. “The uptake of these tools is very low, and I think the only way we’re going to unlock the potential of what AI can do is actually by getting people to use them, and to feel confident and capable about them.” Public First estimates that the UK economy could gain over £400bn if AI is adopted to its fullest extent over the next six years.

The share of America's school-age children attending public schools has slightly declined from 2014 to 2022, while private schools have seen some growth, according to an analysis by Education Week. In 2022, 84% of children ages five to 17 attended public schools, while 11.8% attended private schools. The remaining percentage represents children who are not attending school or are homeschooled. The total number of school-age children has increased slightly, but experts predict a sharp decline in the coming years due to lower birth rates. The COVID-19 pandemic has also accelerated the decline in public school enrollment and the growth of private schools. The reasons for the decline in enrollment include homeschooling, skipping kindergarten, and missing data. The analysis highlights the ongoing competition between public and private schools in the U.S. education system.

Vice President Kamala Harris, whose nomination as Democratic presidential contender will be made official at the party's convention next month, is expected to highlight the tax provisions passed by the Biden administration in her campaign, including the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. The IRA introduced subsidies for clean energy production and electric vehicle purchases, while the CHIPS Act provided tax credits for domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Harris has already played a crucial role in promoting these provisions and aligns with Biden's push to expand the child tax credit. She is expected to maintain continuity with the administration's legislative accomplishments. However, she may be more aggressive than Biden in raising taxes on corporations and high-income individuals. Harris previously proposed a full repeal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) and a tax increase for those earning over $100,000. It remains to be seen if she will return to these proposals. Harris has recently criticized former President Trump's involvement in Project 2025, which aims to make all tax provisions in the TCJA permanent and rescind the funding boost for the IRS.

Data from the Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service reveals that rapists in Scotland are, on average, serving less than six years for their crime. The figure, shared by Victoria Young, the Scottish Sentencing Council’s advocate member, comes as new draft sentencing guidelines for rape offences go out to consultation. Writing in The Herald, Ms Young says each case requires "challenging and difficult decision-making at the point of sentencing." She said the new guidelines would help judges to "decide the most appropriate sentence in these sensitive and complex cases, and will serve to inform victims and the public about sentencing." Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service data show that over the past four years, the average number of court disposals for rape was 98 per year, an increase from 57 for the previous four-year period. The consultation on the guidelines will run until October 18th.

Contrary to the broader trend of law firms reducing office space in other parts of the U.S., seven out of 10 Am Law 200 firm relocations in New York since early 2023 have been for the same or more space, according to data from commercial real estate firm Cresa. These firms include King & Spalding, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati, Susman Godfrey, Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton, Greenspoon Marder, and Holland & Knight. From the start of 2023 to May 2024, 23 Am Law 200 firms signed leases totaling 2.83m sq ft in New York City. The trend toward securing larger or equivalent spaces reflects a preference for Class A buildings, many of which have undergone significant renovations. Data shows that 50% of relocations were to buildings that had or were receiving $100m or more in upgrades. Examples include Quinn Emanuel's move to 295 Fifth Ave after a $350m renovation, and Paul Weiss and Greenspoon Marder's move to 1345 Avenue of the Americas following a $120m renovation. Despite some moves to areas like Hudson Yards, Midtown Manhattan, particularly Times Square, remains the preferred location, with 81% of Am Law 200 firms situated there. Notably, Covington & Burling's 235,000 sq ft lease at 30 Hudson Yards was the largest signed in June 2024.

Four major UK banks, Lloyds, TSB, AIB, and HSBC, have failed to comply with banking rules, according to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). The banks provided incorrect information to customers about their products and services. HSBC listed closed branches as still being open. 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. The CMA has taken formal enforcement measures to ensure compliance and has issued refunds to customers. "It's disappointing that seven years on, we have to put in place formal enforcement measures to secure better compliance from a major bank like HSBC which, yet again, is in breach of the rules," said Dan Turnbull, CMA senior director.

The PCAOB has released a report on the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on audits. The report reflects limited outreach to audit firms and companies, revealing that generative AI is primarily used for administrative and research activities. However, there are potential areas where generative AI can assist with planning and performing audits, such as summarizing accounting policy and legal documents. A Gartner survey found that only 12% of audit executives use generative AI for audit-specific use cases. The PCAOB report states that auditing standards are not viewed as impediments to the development and use of generative AI. It also emphasizes the importance of human involvement in auditing and financial reporting, with generative AI augmenting rather than replacing humans. The report highlights the need for strong quality controls and professional skepticism when using new tools like AI. The PCAOB's findings also indicate that generative AI is more commonly integrated in operational and customer-facing areas rather than accounting and financial reporting processes.
