Is there a legal time limit in which work/goods must be invoiced within? IE if not invoiced in a certain time then the invoice becomes invalid? Cheers CHRIS

Seriously, I've just had what may turn out to be a great idea which I'm going to do some work on. In essence there's very little new in it in, that is it draws on a series of existing well known technologies, what's new and without any doubt whatsoever is the way the technologies are combined on a very large scale industrial level for a unique application. What's the best way of legally...

Hi, Is there anyone with access to a legal database, like WestLaw for instance, who can help with locating a case or two? I'm looking for any case references relating specifically to Internet-based copyright infringement which (and this is the important bit) is post 31 October 2003 such that the Copyright & Related Rights Regulations 2003 apply. Unfortunately I don't have any online access and...

The last few years i've been renting (both after and before i was living at the property in question). Now, I'm not sure I have any proof that the bills were paid, but me and the three people that I wasliving with at the time...

I was due to do a days overtime last week but due to sickness I could not attend. Now my company wants me to put in a self certified sick note. This seems totally wrong as they want tologme for a days sickness even though it was overtime and nothing was claimed. What is the legal position here?

Hello, I work shifts in a restaurant, and got a few questions. 1) If there's any mistakes with the credit cards of my costumers, can my employer force me to pay for them? What if the card is stolen? What if I made a mistake with a credit card? I heard something about a "maximum of 10% deduction of your pay slip" rule? Any pointers to the relevant documents? 2) Should my work provide me with...

So there have been claims over the weekend (or a smear campaign( that the home secretary had used his position to help secure a visa for an employee of his former partner, Kimberley Quinn. could Blunket sue for libel?

Bought a new house four years ago this Christmas which is fitted with a Potterton Suprima 40 boiler. This has started (according to the manual for the device) going into 'lockout' which necessitates a press of the reset button in order to restart the boiler, and sometimes this won't work. Obviously at this time of year, this is a concern! Some googling reveals many similar stories, and anecdotal...
