McKenzie friends, The sugar tax, Online banking
Consumer affairs programme. Proposals calling for fee-charging McKenzie friends to be banned from courtrooms. Plus, farmers who will be left with no land after a council sell-off.
The Bar Council, The Law Society and groups representing lawyers would like to see McKenzie who charge fees regulated and even banned from helping people who defend themselves in court. Is this a case of protectionism or upholding standards in the British legal system?
Tenant farmers who rent their land from local councils face losing out as councils plan to sell off many sites in order to raise funds. We hear from farmers who say it would end their livelihoods.
And the bank that says branches are a thing of the past and that customers are better served via smartphone apps.
