Please can someone advise where i stand legally..... Back in May '05 we booked the local golf course (broke Hill in Kent) for a 40th birthday party in Nov '05. We signed the contract with the club and paid the full amount for the room hire. On several occasions my girlfrind has spoken to the club about this and that and the response has always been all ok... On Sat we went to the club to sort...

Is this likely/legal? It's quite common on dual carriageways (whether it makes sense is another issue) - but I have never seen it on a single carriageway road, and I doubt that it can be done. This means...

I posted the following message on uk.legal however it was recommended I post it here... Hi, I am new here so I apologise if I am asking this in the incorrect group. If I am I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. My partner of 10 years has walked out on me and our two children saying she wants to start a new life. She has said she feels the children would be better...

A few weeks ago I posted here with regards to a fault with my Dell laptop and I promised to post again with the outcome. The laptop was 3 months out of warranty when it developed a fault which it seems is widespread with this particular model. A plastic tab on one of the underside "trapdoor" panels is prone to pressing onto a chip on the motherboard. After a period of time (usually just after 12...

I am looking for the FAQ on the scope and rules of this group - especially the moderation. Couldn't see one in recent history - is it out there somewhere?

I know the illegality of flashing LEDs on bicycles has been discussed before in this group, so I just thought you might like to know the latest: The Road Vehicles Lighting (Amendment) Regulations 2005 Coming into force: 21st October 2005 http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2005/20052559.htm

I see that ulm posts are popping up in Google search results on the following website URL:http://www.ureader.co.uk/group/49-1.aspx. Such websites that copy the contents of usenet groups and use them to generate page hits for their own advertising are increasingly common. Personally I can't stand the fact that information provided for free is used for such purposes. Is it legal ? Could I add a...

Say A, B and C are all alleged to be liable to P for the same damage. P sues all of them. A thinks the claim has a 50/50 chance of success and agrees to settle his share by paying 50% of his share (1/6 of the total claim) on terms which allow P to pursue B and C for their shares. B later goes bust without paying anything. C fails to defend the proceedings and has judgment entered against him for...

Hi, Its long time since I have posted on here, and it only ever seems to be when I have problems. Here is another one, I have been working for a company for the last 3 years and in March this year left to have my baby daughter and took the 26 weeks paid maternity and decided to take the 26 weeks unpaid, which was not a problem. I have recently found out I am pregnant again, a big surprise and...

According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, the Norwich Union Insurance company is to remove the long standing clause from its comprehensive private motor insurance policies which states that "the policyholder may also drive a motor car or motor cycle not belonging to him and not hired to him under a hire purchase agreement provided always that he holds a licence to drive the vehicle or has...

My ex-wife is remarrying her partner. They have bought a house together which has probably exhausted her funds. I understand they have written will so that the surviving partner can stay in the house rent free until they either die or they sell the house. Our children are not very old and currently live with her. Essentially, the will is likely to deprive them of income to maintain them as...

Hi It would be a great help to me in my role as staff rep if you could help me with this question please? A member of staff went sick with a painful back (sciatica) his doctor prescribed a pain killer that prevented his from carrying out his work as it is safety critical and the company would not permit him to work normally. He was signed off by the doctor for 7 days and given a certificate.

A colleague of mine used a company debit card to buy some stock for resale. He was very angry when the suppliers told him that the card had been declined "for security reasons" by the bank although there were ample funds in the account. As a result of this, his credit and reputation have been badly dented and he wants substantial compensation. I remember when I read law a long time ago that...
