Bottom Line: One rule for all
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE revised listing rules introduced in December will be put to the test today when the Stock Exchange's quotations committee meets to decide whether to delist Resort Hotels shares.
Since Resort has failed to meet the Exchange's demands to produce restructuring proposals, it seems likely that shares in the distressed hotels company, which have been suspended for nine months, will lose their quote.
Yet Queens Moat Houses, suspended for more than a year, has not been delisted because the Exchange says to do so would be unfair to investors while the company is subject to an ongoing DTI investigation. Resort is undergoing an investigation by the Serious Fraud Office.
Both companies are working overtime to agree a refinancing with their main banks. Resort may be a lot smaller than Queens, but that is no reason to treat it differently.
