Hi I was almost barged of the road the other day in the middle of an overtake. I noted the offending drivers registration as well as a witnesses. I thought that I would have a case worth investigation as I had a independent witness. I wrote to the police and they phoned me and explained that they could not even initiate an investigation as the offending driver could say that it was a momentary...

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on how to go about pusuing a debt of money that I'm owed, please. For background, I was a member of a 50-share lottery syndicate which was wound up some 18 months ago. I still have not been paid my share (which should amount to about 220 ukp). Having offered to help the executor get matters wrapped up, various discrepencies came to light and it began to look...

Does anyone know why parking wardens fix penalty notices to the offending vehicle, rather than posting them to the registered keeper (who is liable to pay them)? I can think of lots of good reasons for preferring the postal method tickets, and none for fixing them to the vehicle. -- PeteM

If an adult passenger in a car, doesn't use his/her seat belt, who is the one that gets fined, driver or passenger? 2. is the law regarding seat belts same for back seat passengers? 3. driver would be responsible for child passengers, is that correct?

If someone takes an image fom my website and copies it for use on theirs, that could be in breach of copyright. But what if instead of copying it, they just use an img src="" tag? Then they haven't copied it, they're just using it. Are they entitled to this, and could I stop them? I seem to recall some judgements in the past about dubious practices where one website simply presented the...

In message , Sharon writes if someone wants to register a death with the registrar of births and deaths what does one need to take with them, other than the form the hospital gives them? putting the three words documents registering death into Google and Searching UK sites only provides several sources of the answer. --

Hi I was just reading the FAQs for the tenantsfromhell website service and wondered whether, given the websites name, this question and answer stacked up - "Is it legal to do this? What about the data protection act? It is illegal to write derogatory or defamatory information about

Lets say that I know somewhere that traffic wardens (in an area where the parking enforcement is run by a private company) regularly park on double yellow lines to book cars. Would I be breaking any laws, or risking getting myself into any trouble, if I where to be there and take pictures of this happening and passing said pictures onto the council and the company employing the traffic wardens. ...

Quick question, and I hope a quick answer as time is of the essence. Obviously if it werent a sunday I'd ask my solicitor but if someone wants to register a death with the registrar of births and deaths what does one need to take with them, other than the form the hospital gives them? Nothing else is needed to register the death. Bit of background. My fiance's mother died...

Background: I operate a website which involves a lot of photography, primarily at local nightclubs and other such venues. I've had quite a bit of feedback on the site asking why I don't cover more Under 18s events. As a result, I've started advertising at local Under 18's club nights for volunteer 'reps' to write up reviews of the events that I'm obviously unable to attend myself. At the moment,...

The child cannot have British citizenship because, although born in Leicester, under UK law a child takes the citizenship of its father only if the father is married to the mother. Neither can the child in this case have Cuban citizenship becuase, under Cuban law, Cuban citizens must be born in Cuba. Surely, in the 21st century...

Hi, Having noticed the earlier post of an article from the Ipswich Evening, I mailed the URL to someone I know.. He stated that whilst the issue of 'an instance of a law designed to inflict punishments on people without letting them have a proper trial' was important, the article concerned was not good for the purpose of highlighting the issue (presumably

I have been watching the "Cracker" TV series on DVD lately. Great show. But that made me wonder. Do police profilers really play that role of primary importance in some criminal investigations? I understand that those are fictional stories and they just focus on the main characters, of course, but the psychologyst's role stands out anyway, it appears to be crucial in certain cases, as opposite to...
