I received a piece of junk mail that had a cheque in it (the idea being that you convert this cheque to a loan at an extortinate interest rate). It had my name, the amount in numbers and words, an account number, a cheque number a signature, and absolutely no indication that it was not a cheque. Does this make it a cheque? Would I have been able to cash it?

All, Employee on maternity leave was due to return on 14 June. On 1st June I receive a note saying she'll be back in September. I had previously been told by a third party that she may want to return to work later but I confirmed that written notice was required. Her normal contract requries one month notice. Her maternity acknowledgment letter specifically says 28 days notice requried...

Hi group, Here are my statement of earnings for my 2 years at uni. This represents "casual pay" work at college. I do a bit of private tutoring paid for with cash and make a bit from the stock market (dividends + capital gain). Casual college pay + private tutoring work is definitely under £5k. Stock dividends + capital gain also definitely under £9.2k

I refer to the recent news article where several dead people had to be exhumed in connection with an investigation into the running of a care home in Somerset. What would happen if the relatives refused permission for the exhumation? Would the police have to petition for a court order or could they go ahead regardless?. I remember some years ago that the police exhumed an old lady...

Because the media is at fever pitch over the possibility that Madeleine McCann was abducted and everyone seems to want to nail Murat for it few people would dare to sit back and ask questions. Take the parents of Madeleine for instance, few have dared to criticise the parents for leaving their kids on their own. The parents go for a meal, leaving a four year old and two two-year-old twins on...

Hello, All! My new contract says i have to give 3 months notice if i want to leave, this seems like a long time, and almost makes me unemployable to any other business doesnt it? i have worked for the company for almost 5 years, without any trouble at all, but one day i may want to leave, but 3 months notice is a very long time in my opinion

My mortgage is paid by DD on the last day of the month. I usually send a cheque to the branch a week in advance by first class mail. This has never failed, until this month - that is. A cheque was sent on the 24/5 and I was concerned that the cheque wasn't drawn and called up the branch. They told me that they are no longer allowed to open any post, it sent on un-opened to a handling centre. The...

I've got a couple of questions about corruption. I'm part of a non-profit organisation that is devoted to helping its members learn and develop in a particular subject. It makes money from selling books on the subject (a discount is given to members), from membership fees and from conferences. It has a board of directors that have been behaving strangely for some time. Just recently they've...

I'm hearing this second hand so please forgive me if I'm light on the details. Apparently Autoexpress have recently had an offer whereby if you subscribe to the magazine you will get two free tickets to a British Touring Car Championship race (value approx £50). However several people have gotten a letter saying the tickets were 'out of stock' (even though tickets are still publically...

How much privilege is extended to witnesses at an inquest? As the rules of evidence are laxer, is the protection against defamation also broader? Barbara

I issued a County Court claim against a company to recover money owed to me. It later turned out that the company credited the amount owed to my credit card account just before I issued my claim. They didn't inform me of this - instead they reiterated the reasons why they weren't going to pay! So although I appear to have recovered the original debt, I'm £30 out of pocket due to the court fee I...

Can anyone direct me to some on-line information regarding how A-Day affects pension earmarking (NOT splitting) orders? I have a situation where my 1996 divorce order stated that, upon retirement, I would give to my wife 85% of the maximum lump sum allowable under my pension plan. Well, that wasn't too bad except that A-Day (6/4/06) changed the maximum lump sum permissable from about 15% to 25%...
