  15. Though interesting to note the UKSC Justices basically throwing it back to the government and saying "Do something about this".
  16. Can't say I'm surprised by UKSC decision on bank charges. Consumer legislation doesn't apply to the /price/ for services.
  17. UK Supreme Court, in a madcap bid for popularity, rules in favour of the banks on overdraft charges: http://tinyurl.com/yg6457l
