I've just seen a Street Name Sign installed in the most dangerous of places. It is perfectly situated to de-capitate some one sooner or later. Given the way the sign has been erected, it seems most likely to hurt of maim the young or elderly.

We have just been through this with my daughter. She gave her three months notice to expire on 14th of August. The company did nothing about replacing her for 7 weeks after she had given notice.

This sounds absurd to me, since he has no control over who the subsequent tenant, if any, is. Is this type of clause usual or enforceable?

I had an email this morning saying my account at an online forum had been transferred to another bigger better service. To activate it I had to go to this new link and enter my userid and password.

I know limited companies are required to use an appropriate ending to their name to indicate their status (eg. Ltd, PLC etc.) but can a non-limited company or partnership use these abbreviations even if they do not have that status? In other words, can a sole trader call himself XYZ LTD without being a limited company?

Hello. Suppose one wants to return an item bought over the internet, within 7 days. I have noted how some retailers say they will charge a restocking fee (highest I have seen so far is 15%) for returns. This is based on their T&C. Is this an unfair term? Thanks.

1. We choose & ordered vinyl for our kitchen floor. Arranged for fitting at 9.00am, July 26th. 2. Fitters turn up at 4.30 pm and I leave them to fit vinyl. 3.
