Hi all Does anyone know anything about bankruptcy law. I wish to file for personal bankruptcy but save my business. How can I sign it over to my partner without him being liable for all the current business debt. This I will file in the bankruptcy court. He is able to finance the business himself and it is a viable business if only it didnt have to pay for my personal debt. Any ideas would...

....would anyone be willing to offer an opinion on the various types of LLM there are about? (I already have a BSc and I am currently working, so I'd be doing it Distance Learning) I think I'd prefer to just do generic "Law" but given that it's quite rare, I'm wondering if Commercial/Contract/International/IT Law might be a better option? Does doing one of them force you into specalisation...

I arrived outside my workplace today at 3.25pm after a client visit. Onstreet parking there is for an hour maximum, and is free after 4.30pm. Unsurprisingly I waited for a few minutes before putting my money in the machine which showed 3.29pm on the digital display (slightly slow in fact). After it moved to 3.30pm I pressed for my ticket - which showed I had paid until 4.29pm! Surely these 2...

Hey all. I am studying for an exam using Blackstones Ospre Manuals. I have a stack of questions based around defences of intoxication and I am very confused. It boils down to the fact that I cannot get my head around whether a crime is of basic or specific intent.

Morning guys, Now, not that im planning on doing this you understand:-) But me and a couple of guys from my office were having a discussion. One of the guys in question was claiming that insurance company will almost definately NOT pay out in the event of an accident if it is discovered you have alcohol in your system. Surely this cannot be the case?

Does anyone know whether police officers investigating a murder are entitled to require members of the public who happen to have been at the scene, to give DNA samples? In other words, can the member of the public refuse, and is there a procedure for obtaining court orders to compel him? If it is covered in legislation, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

For voter registration purposes, how is "names by which they are commonly known", defined? The relevant section from the rules for voter registration is: "Anonymous registration or the use of pseudonyms is not currently permitted, though electors may use alternative names (such as maiden or professional names) for registration purposes, provided they are names by which they are commonly...

Hi, Any planning law specialists out there. Does an enforcement notice expire after a period of time. If so what is the period. This relates to a piece of land I was going to purchase but I was subsequently issued with an enforcement notice by the local council. This stated that I would have to satisfy the condition of the original planning permission (the builder went bankrupt).

My son has been round at a friend's flat for the last couple of days, on guard duty! Her ex-boyfriend has sent threatening emails - "There are lots of my people after your blood, so you had better be as good as you say you are at self-defence" "You had better hope you move before I torch your flat" "If I ever see you again, I'll kill you"

It was mentioned in passing in another thread here that it's not possible to recover lost time as damages via the small claims track, is that correct? I'm currently about to start a case against a large organisation (For a variety of things, but I'll probably persue it under the Data Protection Act as it's eaisest to prove and I know it reasonably well as I work in IT) which would be difficult...

I must first apologise as this is a long one. I feel all the details have to be given in order to get the correct advice. First the background In sept 2002 I purchased a new boiler (make Keston) from the local Plumbers merchant as a consumer. I got a local plumbing firm to fit new central heating with this boiler. They told me ( The installers, I feel fairly) that they could not guarrentee...

Hunting with dogs is now banned. The rights and wrongs of that have been discussed elsewhere. What I want to look at is the legal reality now that the Bill has become law. Firstly, gathering evidence. The police will either need to use trail bikes or horses to follow the hunt, because they will need evidence of a hunt rather than just a ride in the country while exercising a pack of dogs....

Hello, There is a possibility of my partner being made redundant or relocated. My question is if her office was relocated to another town which is the same distance away to where she works now, will she have to go or will she be offered redundancy if she doesn't want to relocate. Basically she would rather be made redundant than be forced to work at another office in another town. But if there...

Hello. I've got a couple of questions I would like to be more educated about, so do bear with me. Firstly, are consumers allowed to return goods simply because it was "not what they thought it was"? What are the applicable laws for returning goods through post (only the Distance Selling Regulations?) and through retail shops? For example, there are 2 computer games I bought recently, Breed...
