Paid edit request - remove date from Compare the Meerkat section

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed: In section 'Compare the Meerkat campaign' remove 'on November 18, 2023.' and changed to 'in 2022'.
Why it should be changed: As it stands, date is uncited and incorrect, suggest either removing date or changing to 2022.

Paid edit request - add clarifications to History & Controversy section re court case

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

What I think should be changed (include citations):

After this sentence in History - "In September 2017, it was announced the company was under investigation by the competition regulator surrounding allegations regarding most favoured nation clauses with home insurance providers." add "Initially, the investigation ruled against Comparethemarket. However, this was overturned on appeal in August 2022.^[1]"

And in Controversy, after existing paragraphs add: "However, BGL filed an appeal in February 2021 and, in August 2022, a Competition Appeal Tribunal found in favour of BGL, overturning the CMA’s decision and its fine.

A Comparethemarket spokesperson commented: “We fully support the work the CMA does as vital to protecting the integrity of markets. We are pleased that this matter is now concluded and are, of course, happy with the outcome. We look forward to continuing our work to help people save money at a time when we are needed more than ever.”^[2]"

Why it should be changed: As it stands page is inaccurate as only includes details of the original court case and not the outcome of the appeal.
