Snippet just heard off the evening news, "And Tony Blair has suggested that yobs should have to go to court to prove their innocence." Anyone got any additional sources?

What is the logic underpinning Crown Immunity in the UK today? A news item on local TV tonight reported an inquest about a diabetic man taken into Nottingham prison who was not given appropriate medication and died soon afterwards after suffering a diabetic coma. The local coroner severely criticised the prison authorities for the way they failed to get medical treatment for prisoners in their...

My wife is concerned that, should she die before me & were I to have children in a new relationship their existence might diminish the inheritance our child would receive. She wishes that our child receive all of her share of our joint assets upon the second death. We currently have joint wills leaving everything to each other on one death and everything (bar a few specific gifts) to our child on...

Hi, I have a Mum who is 80 in a few weeks times. I love her to bits and several years ago our solicitor took out an enduring power of attorney for us so that if my Mum became unwell I would have full legal right to look after her, keep her finances in order, etc. I seem to recall he said we would have to go back and put it through the court to enact it. Both Mum and myself were keen for this...

o.k. Just had a lengthy chat with my boss, and she is the most understanding compassionate boss, I knew that really, I was just a little scared of upsetting her, but she was great. I will receive my new job spec soon and start in Jan 2006. I never had the intention of ever deceiving my company or taking monies from them. I have worked and paid taxes for the last 24 years in this country and...

Hi, I'm currently reasearching solicitors (or anyone in the legal profession for that matter i.e. barrister's) use of ecommerce and technology within thier practice. Anyone care to share thier experience (good bad or indifferent!), what I'm particularly interested in is how the internet has impacted the legal profession from the perspective of client interaction, and how you see this developing...

I understand that the Data Protection Act prohibits the taking of personal information of UK citizens out of the UK. With more and more call centres of UK organisations being established in the Indian sub continent, I wonder how they get round that provision since bank and other call centres must have a massive amount of personal data stored on computer in a foreign land. -- Alasdair.

Before I went on holiday recently, I took a small package (a birthday present) to the Post Office and received a printed stick-on label showing the amount of postage paid. However, I did not actually post the package at the time. Instead, I asked a neighbour to pop it in the post a couple of weeks later, while I was away. On the appointed date, he took the package to the Post Office and asked...

My brother has just bought a fitted kitchen from a well-known manufacturer (I won't mention the initials). As the family was away on holiday at the time, the builder signed for the delivery. Only later did he find that one small piece didn't match the rest of the kitchen. The branch manager is refusing to replace the piece, as it was signed for, although there's no dispute that the mistake was...

Eating my crisps at lunchtime today, I noticed the usual "Multipack bag must not be sold separately" label on both sides. Is there any legal way they can enforce this? What law would a shop be breaking if they did sell them separately?

On December 15, 2004 I was connected to an Orange mobile contract with One stop phone shop. This deal included three amounts of cashback, to be claimed after 4, 8 and 12 months. The 4 month payment I claimed ok, but the 8 is a problem... I filled out the form and included the relevant bill and sent it, recorded delivery, on 20th September. Royalmail.com is showing it as received on the 21st. I...

I posted a little while ago about an attack by a pack of dogs on a girl and her dog. The girl's dog was injured so her parents are claiming vet's bills from the pack's owner. I'm trying to help but I'm a bit stuck on the Part 18 thing. To clarify, the defendant has filed a defence most of which is totally irrelevant to the issue of her negligence but she does make a vague allegation that the...

Forgive me if I'm in the wrong place, I'm new here and unsure.
