theflyonthewall.com: Lloyds Banking seeks dismissal of overdraft fee cases, BBC News reports
A spokeswoman for Lloyds Banking Group (LYG) explained that its lawyers would be asking local judges to apply the principles of a recent Supreme Court ruling, and would ask for the dismissal of thousands of overdraft fee cases logged against the company, BBC News reports. The Supreme Court ruled this week that the OFT could not decide the charges were unfair under consumer legislation. The OFT is currently pondering whether or not to attack the fairness of overdraft charges under other aspects of the consumer contract rules, or whether it should trigger a full scale competition enquiry into the bank's charges.

theflyonthewall.com: UK banks no longer among world's most stable institutions, S&P says
The market fell this morning after S&P wrote that it no longer believes that the United Kingdom has one of the most stable and low-risk banking systems in the world. The ratings agency has changed its opinion of the British banking system, due to what it sees as the country's weak economy and the banks' high level of dependence on the government, as well as the damage that has been done to the sector's reputation. S&P analyst Nigel Greenwood said the near-collapse of several British financial institutions had damaged the sector's reputation. British banks' near-term earnings outlook is weak, the analyst added. In late morning trading, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) dropped 2.66% to $10.62, while Lloyds Banking (LYG) lost 1.49% to $3.31 and Barclays (BCS) slumped 3.10% to $17.21. :theflyonthewall.com
