Hi. I have been reading how certain SSRI anti-depressants have been contraindicated for use in young people, and how their use increases their incidence of suicide. A few years ago I was put on an SSRI (Effexor by Wyeth) for depression/self-harm...the usual teen stuff. I strongly believe that the medication made my condition worse because it made me much more prone to bouts of rage. Not...

I have heard about a criminal offence called Criminal Defamation. Please could someone explain what this is and how it is different from the normal Common Law Defamation. What does an individual need to do to be charged with Criminal Defamation? - Mabon

Chap on the above group ordered a 2nd hand laptop from DABS online. He got his confirmation and money was taken from his card. DABS then mailed him to say that due to a stock control error, they could not trace the laptop so refunded him his money. He has asked for legal advice. The majority view is that a contract did come into existence - I agree with this.

Hi, The property management company is Copping Joyce and we reported a problem regarding a birds nest to them in March (via email), however, they have failed to contact myself to inform me of the progress it has always be me phoning them. The receptionists phone manner is terrible, the people dealing with the request are not in a hurry to resolve the problem and it has taken them SIX months to...

Hi, My neighbour has applied for planning permission to build above his garage. Due to the close proximity to two of my windows this will lead to a loss of light in my study and utility rooms. I have objected to the District Council and a decision is still pending. My question is, if permission is granted can I take the issue of loss of light further either to a higher level or by seeking...

Well, surprise, surprise, the latest people to embarrass the security forces find themselves in custody well in excess of 24 hours! Firstly, it seemed to take 7 hours to get them from the Palace of Westminster to Charing Cross Police Station (a distance of 1 mile!) Now we here that an extension has been granted for their detention. Such extensions are only usually granted for serious arrestable...

This is a copy of a draft letter I am going to be sending to my CC company. Please can anyone give me any pointers especially in relation to SOGA and the Consumer credit act.

How can I establish why posts I make to uk.legal.moderated from my newsreader (Outlook Express) don't get as far as the moderation process. They don't even show in "auto rejected". I hate having to post through Google Groups - it can take up to 18 hours for my reply to appear* (nine hours for the post to which I'm replying to get as far as Google, nine more hours for my response to propagate to...

In article , (Anthony R. Gold) wrote: So did I, but I was a legal child too at the time and in those days in my group an age difference of 5 years would not have been tolerated by us children ourselves. That's an amazing coincidence. I wonder how many other subscribers enjoyed having sex with Paul's first wife.

I need to provide a set of terms and conditions and an acceptable use policy for an ISP. What's the best way of getting hold of one of these? Can I just buy a set from somewhere? Or should I do as everyone else seems to do, and rip off someone else's, do a quick (and inadequate) search and replace, and fail to notice that the T&C's seem to refer exclusively to US laws, with American English...

This is an amusing item from the Guardian. It seems that gullible people (persuaded by slick publicity in the media) believe that you can remove the toxins from your system by paddling their feet in a special bath which then produces only rusty water. I wondered, idly, what the ramifications under Sale of Goods Act legislation might be. Could the customer complain that the goods are not fit for...

By which I mean can someone copyrirht the facts, names, dates, places, I know you can't just cut and paste a section out of someone elses history book. The reason I ask is because I came across the following copyright notice on a document in an archive: "Information contained on this page may only be used for personal use, any request for full or part publication must be carried out...

I recently bought an electronic keyboard (a "music workstation") from a big London store via their web pages. The model I chose was offered at a substantial discount - I suspect because it is no longer the most up-to-date technology, although it is still listed on the manufacturer's website along with the newer models. On the basis of reviews saying that the "built-in" piano sounds were not as...

Background: I purchased an item on eBay from a seller in Germany. The total sum including postage is just under EUR 10. His selected method of payment is by direct bank transfer and he provided the IBAN (International Bank Account Number) and BIC (Bank Identifier Code) details for the account. No problem I thought... Not having used this specific means of payment before, I looked up the charges...

Can some please send me a link or advise on the correct law, I have neighbour and every Saturday at approximately 07:30 they start up with the streamer and then the lawn mower comes out. I don't want to sleep until midday , but it's this not expectable even the four year old and the baby are woken, this puts me in a very bad mood. Thanks

I've just started a second job in a nightclub, in anticipation of quitting my main job to start uni at the end of this year. The club is fitted with a standard clock card machine to start and end your shift, which stamps your card with the time to the minute. However, during my induction, the manager pointed out a few possible issues. Apparently, "the machine" works in 15-minute chunks, starting...

When a police officer 'reads' a suspect his rights about remaining silent, does he have to ask the suspect if he understands them. If he does not, and is supposed to, what is the consequence of that? Cheers, Guy ** I may not be perfect, but I'm

Just over a year ago I bought a good digital camera for £350 as that was all I could afford. One day I looked through the zoom viewfinder to find a total blur. Oh dear, I thought, I'll take it back to that nice man in Newcastle and he'll know what to do. Well he did. He told me that "we don't repair cameras when they are 13 months old. Take it next door they'll fix it". (Next door being a...

"Steve Cleary" wrote in message ... Does anyone know where I can find access to a good company lawyer (not too expensive and therefore preferably out of London) to provide advice on a dispute over the rights of shareholders to transfer shares in a private limited company?
