Hi, Well over a month ago I accepted a contract to write a small software for some investment company. I knew that the contract was not going to be more than 20 to 30 days at the most. It turned out to be 20 days exactly. No paper/contract was signed but a few days into the contract a daily rate was agreed between the accountant and the owner of company, (one of the 3 owners).

I'm looking for the text of a judgement, although the arguments might also be useful, made by Mr Justice Holland at the High Court (since it's a liability claim I presume Queen's Bench) earlier this year and subsequently upheld on appeal. I've looked on the court service website and at BAILLI with no luck. I can't even find a reference number. I assume the fact that it isn't at BAILLI means that...

Hi, all. I paid a PC World Business invoice for just under £100 at the bank on 14th June. Payment was by cheque into their bank account, but paid at our bank. It cleared out of the account on 17th. We've got the stub receipt and the bank statement to prove it. PC World Business haven't applied the payment to our account. Just how far should I be going to try to resolve this? So far I've been on...

My neighbours and I share a communal yard. My problem is that one neighbour leaves his own private property on it. My question is - can I tell him to remove it? Thanks Tony

I am seeking a court order for information on a third party through the County Court. Which section of the Data Protection Act 1998 do I apply under for this information? I stress that I am not requesting information about myself but about another person. Any feedback appreciated - Mabon

Slightly long thread.... A salesperson works for a major retailer selling IT stuff and equipment. This salesperson is reasonable knowledgeable. A customer (not so knowledgeable)comes to the store and buys a laptop from this salesperson. The salesperson asks questions to determine for what purpose the equipment will be used for. The customer says that he wil be using it for office and home work...

This interesting point was never expanded, I hope Richard won't mind me posting it again: Andrew McGee wrote: ...we do have an increasingly authoritarian government, and there is no effecitve opposition; indeed the official Opposition seems mostly concerned to be even more auhtoritarian. Why and how have we reached a stage where CCTV cameras, speed cameras, DNA databases and the...

Hello all, Our local school and sixth form regularly post some of the exam results for GCSE, AS and A-Level in the local newspaper for their top five or ten students. They typically list the student and how many of each grade they attained. I know for a fact the school hasn't explicitly requested permission from the students before they release this information to the newspaper, but are they...

A couple of months ago I purchased two sofa's from Argos that were in their half-price sale. (I even signed up for and used their in-store credit card - which was debited the full amount). As I am currently decorating my house I asked if the sofa's may be held at the warehouse for an extra few weeks (outwith the usual 1 month delivery time). Having specifically asked if the sofa's would be held...

Does a traffic light (apart from at temporary roadworks) need a stop line? http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2002/20023113.htm#43 (3) Where no stop line has been provided in conjunction with light signals or the stop line is not visible, references in relation to those signals to the "stop line" are -

The following exchange, from AUE, is self explanatory, hinging on the legality of keeping blades in the UK. Can anybody say whether it's Dick Francis or I who is wrong? I didn't cross post this, although I would have liked to, as I suspect it's against the rules. Tony Cooper typed thus: On Tue, 24 Aug 2004 17:39:13 +0100, david56

I was always under the impression that as soon as a learner-driver had passed his test and was handed the pass certificate by the driving examiner, he was free to drive unaccompanied and without the L plates. I was therefore very surprised to see in the press a court case where a driver was convicted of not displaying L plates after passing his test but before sending off for his full licence to...

Hi all. It looks like I'm going to be transferred to a new company under the TUPE regs. I've tried to read up on it but have a few questions I was wondering if anyone could answer. I've read that if either company sack you because of reasons relating to the transfer, you can claim for unfair dismissal. However, this isn't applicable if the reason is for "financial, technical or organisational"...

Hello from a lurker - I have next to no legal knowledge (as you can probably tell), but I find it all terribly interesting, and enjoy UKLM very much! Just wondering if someone could satisfy my curiosity over some gossip I've heard today :) Person A (lets call him Bob) works for a company. The company premises includes an area of un-enclosed tarmac, that is used during the day for employee and...

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the thread regarding my XPerian P4 PC which failed again, days after coming back from it's 3rd repair. I wrote a strongly worded letter detailing all the faults and demanding a full refund as PC "was not fit for purpose...."etc. Although they declined this request "at this stage" at least it got their attention that I was not prepared for them to replace...

Why has a post with more than **150** "new" words had the last all-but 5 "new" words *removed*, and then been placed on the "rejected" heap with a reason of "insufficient new material"? Especially when the post being replied to was not rejected, but only had just over 20 words!

a relative has just had an experience that has them concerned over the *possibility* of identity theft documents for renewing car insurance sent *from* their car insurance company - CORRECTLY addressed by that company - was misdelivered by the Royal Mail
