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, leading to a significant decline in shares of major lenders such as Close Brothers and Lloyds Banking Group. This landmark decision is expected to have far-reaching implications for the motor finance industry, with potential consequences for consumers and lenders alike. The case highlights concerns over unfair lending practices, with the court's ruling likely to impact the future of car loan regulations and financial consumer protection. Key terms like 'car loan mis-selling' and 'motor finance' are under scrutiny.
