I have a neighbour who is complaining because I have friends round (about once a week), its part of a small church prayer group, she says she finds this annoying. She has found the following restrictive covenant which applies to all the properties on the development as part of a scheme, which I understand are mutually enforceable "Nothing shall be done or be permitted to be done upon the...

Actual situation. An alleged minor road traffic offence. The driver elects not to pay the Fixed Penalty but go to court to argue the case. A Summons duly arrives with instructions to the driver that if he elects to plead Not Guilty he should ignore the hearing date quoted and await a new date to be advised. While waiting for this new date, a letter arrives from the court

The following Asbo, served on a homeless man, was quoted in an article in today's Guardian. I'm surprised that any magistrate would have OK'd such a document (but IANAL). Who actually decides what the content of an Asbo will be? And who draws up these things? This one looks like a complete botch-up to me, (items 4 and 13 seem particularly odd) but again, IANAL. Is it necessary to list behaviour...

Hi All. I have a covernant on my house giving me access to a courtyard. So do all the houses round the yard. The most of the yard is part of one property, if you get the idea. New people in the courtyard are stirring things up by making demands about this and that to do with parking. I was wondering which court one would go to if things got realy bad? I was also interested to know if it was...

Hi all, I have lived in a Housing Association flat for five years and have been happy with it up until now. It is a block of 30 flats, built around 1960 solid 9" walls but no noise insulation. The Housing Association, has noise reducing rules, one is that noise should not be so high it can be herd outside the flat after 23.00. There is one tenant two floors directly below me that seems to lead...

I see it is reported that Lord Faulkener has stated it highly unlikely that treason charges could ever be levied against those like Omar Bakri. Is this because Treason is not appropriate or because the Government would not have the stomach for it. Is there a legal reason not to charge treason ======================================================================

I live on a hill, and the property behind me (higher up the hill) has a waste water pipe running through my property. None of my waste water drains use this pipe. I have an inspection cover/hole on my property. The house behind me, according to the deeds, was not planned when mine was planned, but planned soon after. The drain pipes do not appear on any of the documentation. Who is responsible...

Suggest you try looking at the "Sex discrimination?" thread from January.

kjsue ) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : Would the council be covered if they offered Male Only sessions as well as Female Only sessions? Can you imagine the response "Men Only" sessions would get?

I was reading the 1990 Computer Misuse Act. May time is refers tot the unauthorised use of computers etc. However it doesn't define the word unauthorised. For example Computer misuse offences A person is guilty of an offence if- 1.b. the access he intends to secure is unauthorised

The front lawn has been given absolute minimal attention but the rear is = an overgrown wilderness. Is there anything which can be done to address the problem of the overall condition of the house but particularly the rear garden e.g, environmenta= l health (vermin etc), depreciation of adjoining semi-detached property etc=

Can anyone assist please? The story so far... I live in one of three houses all with a shared drive. This shared drive is owned by us all. The external stop cocks for all of our properties (we each have 1 each) are located on the main road. Apparently the supply then continues along a public highway (a track/byway) and then turns left onto our private drive. There is a leak in my supply pipe...

Questions about difference in juvenile punishments, and adult punishments. If a juvenile committed a serious crime, such as rape or murder, say he was fourteen at the time of the offence, and by the time it became uncovered he was 15, would the punishment be different, if the same crime was not uncovered until the boy was an adult??? So, boy kills at 14, uncovered at 15, and sentenced,...

This weekend, in Whitby, a whole load of temporary parking restrictions went up along the sea front and on the one-way system through the pier road. This was to accommodate the attractions surrounding the regatta that is held there annually, The restrictions were imposed by virtue of yellow police "No parking" cones. There was no other warning, advance or otherwise, that such restrictions would...

We recently advertised a job (on-line with the government job centre). This yielded a good response and we were reviewing all the CV's against a strict set of criteria so as not to discriminate. Then a few days later we got an email from a third-party supporting an earlier application by Mr Y. It inclued this:- "I am writing to you on behalf of my client Y who has applied for job X with...

Very soon I will be renewing the road fund licence on my car. When I do this, there will only be a few days of validity left on both the insurance and the MOT. What is the minimum time that must still exist on these documents before the Post Office says "They have almost expired, you will have to renew them before I can issue the road fund licence." -- Ian

Some of you may be aware or involved in the above. Basically, I am not a union member and was wondering the legality of the local authority employer basically imposing a whole new set of terms and conditions, including pay, that I may not agree with? Can they do this? What would it take to challenge it? By way of background, the local authority I work with has about 20,000
