I've just accidentally booked the wrong time for some film tickets on the UGC website due mainly to their poor website interface. I have a Lloyds TSB VISA card which is also a DELTA card. I went through the process of picking the cinema, film, date and time and then entering my card details saying it's a VISA card. It was declined. I've used this card many times for buying things on the Internet...

Could some please advise.Has the UK adopted article 13 into the HRA ?. If not, where do I take a claim for breach of Article 13 ?. Thanks

I am currently looking for employment, after recently resigning from my previous position. Whilst employed by my previous employer, I underwent (relatively minor) disciplinary proceedings which am obviously keen my previous employer does not mention on any reference to a potential new employer. It is the stated policy of my previous employer (as is the case with many organisations these days)...

Hello, I have never posted to this NG before, but I hope someone helpful here may be able to help me out. A few days ago there was an accident at work (totally not my fault) resulting in myself being showered in broken glass. I have got some cuts on my hand and arm, nothing major. After I had taken a bit of glass out my finger and washed the blood off it didn't seem all bad, but now a couple of...

Hi all Just read this in today's Sunday Telegraph. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A LEADING barrister stopped representing his client in the middle of a fraud trial after his daily rate was reduced to £600 when the man ran out of funds and had to take legal aid.

You may recall that I had a dispute with a costume maker, and won the case in Small Claims on a no-show. I found that all items in her terms of business (except two which were things like "we can do special prices for bulk and children's costumes") were judged to be unfair by the OFT in 2000, and that she undertook to withdraw them. *All* of them, that is. The terms she was using when I did...

Here's a question for theoretical discussion, and this time one where there's no "I've done this, HELP!!!" hiding behind it... Following my recent experiences with partial deliveries, I was thinking about how this might apply in the case of software. It's very common that when one "buys" a piece of software, one finds a need to go to the Internet and download one or more patches before it works...

I let a friend stay at my house that was empty whilst he got his life back together. There was no formal arrangement and he never paid a penny rent. This weekend he phoned me and told me he has moved in a family of immigrants as they were homeless and being a Christian felt he should help them. I told him I wanted them out within 24h but he said they would all be out within 48h. This time has...

After paying a visit to my dentist who has had to reset my front tooth and said there are possibilities i might need a false one i am intrigued how i go about claiming.

Ok, from a re-enactment even this week I have some shots that one of the re-enactors wants to use of the images. The images are of the actors themselves. The shots was taken on NTS property at a open event. All that's visible of the property is a relatively nondescript wall. 1) What are my options regarding usage of the photographs? Do I have to ask National Trust for Scotlands permission before...

Three years ago I moved into a flat with no garage. I joined a disabled motorcycle club/charity. I am registered disabled. They said they would take my trike away and re wire it, build a new electrical box and sort it out and MOT it. Well work was slow and the excuses seemed probable, moving unit and getting new premises. Then a few months ago they admitted that an ex member had stolen a...

A large academic school at a British University: 1. ran into a funding crisis 2. sacked a large number of its part-time tutors 3. told others that they would lose their jobs shortly, but these were so unhappy at the way that they were being treated that they simply walked out (at least one is seeking an unfair constructive dismissal against the university)
