UK Supreme Court Denies Intervention in Landmark Car Loan Mis-Selling Case, Bank Stocks Plummet

Reuters

The UK Supreme Court has rejected a bid by finance minister Rachel Reeves to intervene in a high-profile case regarding car loan mis-selling, causing shares in major lenders such as Close Brothers and Lloyds Banking Group to decline sharply. This decision is expected to have significant implications for the motor finance industry, with potential consequences for consumer protection and financial regulation. As a result, banking stocks have taken a hit, with investors closely watching the developments in the case. The ruling may also impact the broader financial services sector, including personal finance and consumer lending.
