Next warns of potential store closures following £30 million legal defeat

High street giant Next is facing an uncertain future — it’s warned of possible store closures after losing a landmark £30 million legal case over equal pay.

The UK fashion retailer is planning to appeal the decision that saw more than 3,500 former and current workers at the group win their pay claim after a six-year legal battle.

Next cautioned that while it is confident of winning, if it did not, it could be forced to shut shops due to soaring costs.

In other financial news, Martin Lewis has urged people to make a simple switch to get £175 free cash just in time for Christmas. Just switch your bank account (more on this below).

Plus, one of the UK’s top energy firms is giving away free electric blankets to its most vulnerable customers this winter — scroll down for more details.
