The bosses of thomas cook will face scrutiny over their actions as part of an investigation into the collapse of the tour operator. It comes amid criticism over executive pay, with top executives at the company receiving a combined 25 million in salaries and bonuses over the past five years. The uks business secretary, andrea leadsom, has asked the official receiver, which oversees liquidations, to look at whether directors actions caused detriment to creditors or to the pension schemes. It comes as Prime MinisterBoris Johnson has been questioning the pay of executives. I think the questions that weve got to ask ourselves now are, you know, how can this thing be stopped from happening in the future . How can we make sure that tour operators take proper precautions with their business models, so that you dont end up with a situation where the taxpayer, where the state, is having to step in and bring people home. And i think some people will certainly have questions about. Certainly i have questions, for one, about whether its right that the directors or whatever, the board, should pay themselves large sums when a business can go down the tubes like that. Stuart gordon is a Senior Analyst at berenberg bank, focusing on leisure and transport. Those questions will need to be answered, wont they, which is why answered, wont they, which is why an investigation is going to start. Yes, they will, and quite rightly so. Yes, they will, and quite rightly so. Clearly thomas cook has faced significant operational and financial challenges over time, and management has to be looked at to address whether or not they are in any way responsible for whats happened and the outcome. I personally think that, in fairness, from an operational standpoint, they have had to actually deal with many changes in the industry. I guess its more on the financial side as to whether they could have done more earlier. I mean, in the midst of this collapse, with thousands and thousands of people stuck overseas, thousands of people stuck overseas, thousands facing redundancy, theres a lot of anger and rage. And the headlines across all the uk papers this morning are about the fat that got the cream, while as Boris Johnson put it the company goes down the tubes. It will be a matter of legality, wont it, though, if they have to give back their bonuses. It is not about whether they did a bad job or not, it is whether they were seen to be negligent. Absolutely, andi seen to be negligent. Absolutely, and i think in that sense, from a legal perspective, it will be incredibly difficult to prove that they have acted negligently. They have clearly stated, all the way through, that they felt the business was on a solid footing. That over the past 6 12 months has proven not to be the case, however. And from your perspective, could thomas cook avoid collapse given all the issues that have been discussed at length in the last 2a hours, the various headwinds that they face, some of which they had no control, i. E. Extreme weather and terrorist attacks in key destinations. extreme weather and terrorist attacks in key destinations. I think if we look at it on a short term view it would have been incredibly difficult for them to have a solution anything other than what happened. However, if we look longer term, i do think this management tea m term, i do think this Management Team should have been looking to address theirfinancial team should have been looking to address their financial position yea rs address their financial position years ago, not in the last 6 12 months. And in terms of the reaction of other companies, ive got the front page of the sun, and a headline is day flight robbery. Their rivals share prices rising significantly because they are seen to really gain from this and prices in accommodation and flights just spike. They have done, and i think this is just the commercial world we live in. It is capitalism, u nfortu nately. Live in. It is capitalism, unfortunately. Exactly, and there are two things. The first one is that short term it is the capitalist side. Long term they should benefit from the fact a major competitor has been removed from the equation.

The European Court ofjustice is due to rule on just that in a few hours time. It is looking at two separate cases revolving around the right to be forgotten, which became eu law in 2014. The first looks at whether google would have to erase search results for users outside the european union, so globally. And the second would make it easier for people to ask google and other Search Engines to automatically delete links to websites containing sensitive information, like a persons sex life, religion, or health.

Dean armstrong is a lawyer and queens counsel at 36 commercial. Good morning. Good morning. What do you think will happen today . good morning. Good morning. What do you think will happen today . I think there will be a welcome clarification of a number of issues that have been flying around or floating around the dataset for the last few years. 0bviously while there was the original case in 2014, we have had the gdpr, which came into force a couple of years ago 110w. Into force a couple of years ago now. And so what this judgement and ruling will do will clarify various aspects of things such as the territorial tentacles of the gdpr, whether people are actually affect did abroad, whether the right to be forgotten is not an absolute right, it isa forgotten is not an absolute right, it is a partial right, and how effectively that is enforced. So i think clarification is the order of the day. And that is desperately needed, isnt it . No matter where you are in the great debate around previously, the right to be forgotten and freedom of speech, the law has got to sort of pin down where we are in this world of using social media, google, facebook, et cetera. This is what we are all needing, isnt it . Yes, and i think the gdpr is a hugely significant and influential regulation. And i think what is required is for businesses and corporate and personal data aficionados, et cetera, and those affected by it, you and me and eve ryo ne affected by it, you and me and everyone else, to actually understand the limits of what their rights are, where those rights stop, how they can enforce rights they have got. And so it is a decision that we welcome in the sense of saying, well, that is where it stops, that is where it starts. That is how you can get to address and remedy it. Do you think, though, this is the issue, it is about enforcement, it is about the follow through. Whatever the European Court of human rights decides today, where companies will really ta ke decides today, where companies will really take notice, because they will rely on the fact that none of us will rely on the fact that none of us will actually do much about it because we feel we cant enforce this . I think there has been a change in the last couple of years. I think there was probably a resistance, particularly from Larger Companies and perhaps those abroad as opposed to hear to the new data regulations. I think whats happening, slowly but surely, if things are changing and people are deciding they must take seriously. I think we have had very different m essa 9 es think we have had very different messages from facebook about valuing oui messages from facebook about valuing our privacy. 0bviously messages from facebook about valuing our privacy. Obviously there are various issues they have suffered from over the last few years. And i think there is a growing sense of understanding that actually data is king now and peoples personal data, which is their personal possession, is paramount to them. So i actually think that the ruling will provide clarity, but also will provide part ofa clarity, but also will provide part of a following wind for people to ta ke of a following wind for people to take more notice so i think it is a very good clarification that we require, a very useful one. What will happen is it will actually firm up will happen is it will actually firm up peoples view as to how we get on in terms of getting the enforcement of that going on forward. Thank you for coming in. So a lot to watch today. The uk supreme court, the European Court of human rights, it is all happening. I will be back with more detail and the news briefing.
