All, I'm going to be working on my will soon, and am trying to find out the "default" situation in relation to guardianship of a minor in the unfortunate event of no surviving parents. I'm already set to see a solicitor about this, but I just want to be a little more clued up before I meet her. Is it a case of the surviving grandparents, or do the courts or social

Hi, Apologies if this is not the correct place to post this message, it would be appreciated if I could be pointed in the right direction. I have residency of my two children, who are both above 8 years old. My ex partner has relocated to the opposite side of the country. When we seperated it was agreed my ex would travel down to visit the children, rather than them travel up there for...

I have been promised a refund three times with still no sign of it arriving. So, I'm writing a letter to their head office giving them N days to refund it or I make a small claim to get the money back. My question is -...

Hi, I parked in a council owned car park recently but forgot to put my blue badge in the window and consequently received a parking ticket. Last July I did exactly the same thing (doh!), wrote to the ticket issuer and they cancelled the ticket and stated that they would not do the same again.

Hi I'm hoping to go to southern Ireland in a couple of weeks to watch the British Superbikes. I have sent my passport application off this past week but am a bit worried I may not get it back in time. I have scoured the net and have come across several sites saying that if I'm a British Citizen (which I am) and I am travelling direct from UK mainland to Ireland, I do not really need a...

I was shopping in a large branch of a large supermarket when a customer, after trying to push me out of the way at the reduced items counter in his desperation to get the cheapest pickings, picked up my coat from my trolley and between his two fists tore a 6 inch strip in it. He also threatened several times to punch me, but as we were under plenty of CCTV and i geigned that a friend was...

Hi Here are two land registry searches done before and after a purchase. Before I bought the property: Term: 99 years from 1979. Lease Parties: Freeholder, X. Title absolute: Previous owner.

I prefer not to say what company is involved, and I don't think it's necessary, but this may affect many people. Suffice to say that this company employs a number of agents who are paid in part a fixed sum, and the rest by commission on sales. To date it has paid commission on sales two months in arrears.

Thinking this was too much,...

When it comes to data just what does unlimited mean? It looks like the meaning of the word unlimited has officially changed. Whilst we have had various fair use policies the ASA now seem to accept that unlimited actually means that there can a limit provided that it is fair. It certainly isn't the meaning of the word that I...

Are photos accepted as documentary evidence in a county court claim? We have had a claim issued against us, and are currently following the legal advice we've received, that we should get three quotes to make good the original shoddy workmanship.
