Multi-millionaire Reg Bond (pictured left) died aged 77 in March 2021 after turning £350 into a £55m business empire based on rubber tyres. He then turned his hand to racehorse breeding, producing a string of winners, many of which bore his family name. Mr Bond gave most of his fortune away but his final will split nearly all the remaining £12.5m between his sons Charlie (top right) and Graham. While leaving son Mike (bottom right) and daughter Lindsay with £325,000 each. In April, Mike, 53, and Lindsay, 56, clashed with their brothers in court, claiming their dad's November 2019 will was invalid because Mr Bond was too mentally frail to understand what he was signing. During the trial, the court was told by witnesses on Mike and Lindsay's side that Mr Bond had been so confused at the time he cut them out that he 'couldn't remember what he'd had for lunch' each day.

Black cab class action of over 10,000 drivers in High Court this morning suing Uber over claims it misled TfL over how its booking system worked

May 2, 2024
A group action claim has been filed in the High Court over Uber's operations in the capital between May 2012 and March 2018. The cabbies claim that Uber allowed its drivers to accept bookings directly from customers, rather than going through a central system like minicab services, therefore breaching private hire licensing rules. The legal claim says that this booking system was 'unlawful' and that Uber deliberately misled TfL about how the system worked in order to get its licence in London. The cab drivers say that during this time they suffered losses of more than £250 million as a result of having fewer customers or having to work longer hours to compete with the popular app.
