Bats in court? It can only be the latest report from The Insider, AKA NLJ columnist Professor Dominic Regan of City Law School.

This week, Regan looks ahead to the car dealership secret commission case, a first hearing of which is due next month. He writes: ‘If upheld, the cost to lenders could be as much as £44bn, according to HSBC. Lloyds Bank alone has just upped its provision for claims to £1.15bn.’

Regan also reports that amendments enshrining judges’ powers to order alternative dispute resolution ‘are being exercised with a vengeance’. As for the bats, these were table tennis not pipistrelles.
