A friend of mine has joint mortgage with her partner. (They both work and contribute equally to the mortgage and bills). The relationship isnt going too well and my friend wants to leave. Sadly, he is in denial about the split and refuses to believe she is leaving. She has asked him to assist her in either selling the house or to sell her half the house, so she can buy her own flat or small...

Firstly let me apologise if this a faq, but I've done a search on Google and have not been able to find an answwer to my problem, hence the post. A collegue of mine has had the builder in and due to them fitting some vents wrongly, his wife has developed some kind of illness. He is looking into the possibility of legal action to claim compensation but he is aware that the company could cease...

I work in a bar in the UK and, to avoid losing our jobs, myself and other bar-staff cannot refuse to sell alcohol to minors - management turn a blind eye to minors asking for alcoholic drinks and threaten us with dismissal if we refuse. Can any liability attach to the bar-staff for serving alcohol if we know that patrons are minors or does all liability rest with the owner of the bar? Thanks!

Does anyone know if any of the investigations have looked into who it was that said he was apparently an Irish person carrying a shotgun? That the man was shot and killed is clearly wrong (it was a table leg in a plastic bag not a shotgun and he was from Scotland) but am I the only person wondering why there seems to have been no investigation into the source of information that resulted in...

Hello, If you've signed a tenancy agreement stating that you need to show bills paid (etc) within 60 days or the letting agent may not return your deposit, is this considered reasonable? Is there a timescale where they're legally allowed to claim that money? And, is it worth pursuing this in the small claims court given that the agreement was signed with those terms?

hello I hope someone here can advise me please. The neighbours have started parking their car on their front lawn. They have taken down the fence on the front if the property and gravel chipped it over. I live in a lollypop type cul-de-sac so parking is limited as it is. These are council properties. They are now telling people that they can not park in the road as it is stopping them getting...

Lets say someone buys a dodgy power supply unit for a computer. The PSU produces voltage spikes, which damages the computer's other hardware (motherboard, processor, etc.) Who is liable for replacing the damaged components? The retailer, the manufacturer or the consumer? How would the liability be affected if the PSU was from a known "cheap" brand?

Regarding employment law with regard to holiday entitlement, I have just had a holiday request denied as there is no cover available. Actually, nobody employed by the company can cover my job, so recently a consultant has been covering my role. I have given two months notice for a 5 day break and It was never an issue in the past plus this ruling only applies to me and not the other 7 people in...

Apologies, but this is a long post! My son is in a special school at the moment, and I need to consider where to send him for sixth form. The local authority is adamant that he can be taught in local schools, but he has very specific needs and I am not clear that the local public sector schools can meet these. In order to try to get specific information, I am considering a request under FOI. I...

any opinions on the below: My employment contract gives me 26 days annual leave, 2 public holidays and up to an additional 10 days using flexbenefits. So 38 days annual leave in total. I work for a small department in a large company. We have 10 people in our team. The next smallest department is 90 people. The business policy has now become that: 11% of people can be off on

The Licensing Act 2003 was pushed through against opposition from all parts of the House and in both the Lords and the Commons, by concessions for live music exemptions being promised in the Guidance notes. As the guidance notes were not available until some eighteen months after the Act receiving Royal Assent and still do not contain the concessions intimated, can the legality of the Act be...

What is the legal position if, say, one of your children accidentally kicks a ball into a neighbour's garden and the neighbour refuses to give it back? For argument's sake let's say the neighbour does know that it belongs to you/your children. Does this constitute theft? Just to balance things out what are your responsibilities as a neighbour? If these accidents happen several times a day then...
