Just Eat orders drop as purse strings tighten

HOLLY WILLIAMS rise that matches the 15 per cent hike given to criminal barristers last year.
ONLINE food delivery firm Just Eat Takeaway.com yesterday said it returned to underlying earnings last year and expects to remain profitable in 2023 despite seeing a drop in orders as customers cut back.
The Amsterdam-based group swung to underlying earnings of €19m (£16.7m) last year from losses of €350m (£308m) in 2021 thanks largely to cost-cutting efforts.
In the UK and Ireland, it saw earnings of €23m (£20.m) from losses of €107m (£94.2m) the previous year.
Last November, the MoJ pledged to invest an extra £85m a year in solicitors’ pay, making for an effective pay rise of 11 per cent.
Law Society president Lubna Shuja said the government had left it with “no choice” but to file a claim.
