Hi At first, please, don't blame for not knowing the UK laws - I'm from Poland. Some time ago I was using services provided by UK hosting company. It was great... to some point, when the company said that they will not host my sites anymore and that they will use their right to terminate my account written in Terms of Service. The exact phrase in TOS is: "We reserve the right to terminate your...

What would the situation be if a child was adopted by his natural mother and stepfather without the natural father's knowledge or consent because the natural mother had falsely claimed the natural father was dead? Would the adoption have to stand or could it be overturned?

I wonder if someone could clarify the following for me. To my understanding, a job title which uses the term Director (e.g. Sales Director, Technical Director, Marketing Director) indicates that the person is a legal director of the company, as registered with Companies House. If a person were to hold a job title like Sales Director, but not actually be a legal director of the company, apart...

Hello all to you UK.L.M. folks. I'm planning on a holiday in the USA later this year but it's just occured to me that I might be refused a visa because of my drink driving conviction from Sep 1997. Does anyone know if this will be a problem? I don't suppose it makes any difference, but I'm not planning on doing any driving whilst I'm over there. I believe you can actually travel to the US...

I have a 1-bed flat in London with a statutory tenant aged 38 who inherited her tenancy from her mother 20 years ago. Nobody else can inherit under current regulations. The regulated rent is £322.50 per month. I always believed she would move of her own accord when getting married as there is very little space and she has a well paid job. She asked me a few times for money to leave and I...

I want to find a copy of the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 with any/all amendments to date. I would prefer to do this on line but hard copy would be quite satisfactory. Google has not led me to any useful links. I am not an experienced Googler. I have no problem with paying for the information, I don't expect a freebie. Any help, links or info would be much...

If a developer knocks down a listed building without listed building consent is it a criminal act and the council has no option but to inform the police that a crime has been committed? Then, it is up to the CPS to decide whether to prosecute? Or could the council decide not to act? If it is a crime and the council decided not to report it, would that be a crime? Could a private individual report...

Hi Wonder if anyone can advise. I live in a semi-detached house and the property next door has been sold to an investor who has put in a planning application for it to be converted into a day nursery for upto 20 children. Now the walls are paper thin and I'm just about getting used to the constant stream of trains at the bottom of the garden (my only refuge is to stay indoors with the windows...

I'm currently a first year doctorate student. I've done my 4 year undergrad degree in the UK, spent 15 months unemployed (due to visa difficulties) and was forced to work for 6 months in a subject unrelated to my degree because of these visa difficulties. Obtaining permanent resident status for me would be extremely helpful. I have heard that one only needs to be a student for 4 years...

(second attempt - did my first get moderated away?) Hi - I ordered something on somebody's website recently. Their site said 'carriage charges will apply to orders under 50 quid', but when we made the order, these charges did not appear (due to a bug in their system for that item, since corrected). They then posted the item off, and charged my CC for the amount + postage,

why my "soggy icecream" post wasnt accepted here? Did the moderators believe the subject line implied something of a pornographic nature?? One only had to read the body of the post to see it was a Sales of Goods Act query. I am an active user of this ng and found the site very useful on many occasions - perhaps you could remind me of the rules and regs on the use of the ng, so I can learn my...
