If an organisation is a charity, and exists to distribute information, is there any legal requirement that information they distribute should be accurate? If they were knowingly distributing inaccurate information, is there any way this can be stopped. There is no personal loss due to the misinformation, nor is it sexist, racist, etc.

Hello, I have submitted my CV in an international job agency, the reply to which came very soon. The company searching for employees has its headquarters in Australia. Since the offer they made is unbelievably profitable, I would like to inquire is their agreement has no hidden meaning. I would be grateful for the analysis. Duties, Term of the Agreement and Compensation

I have complained to BT using email stating that I believe my Internet service is not adequate - specifically too slow and sometime dropping out. Usually, my emails are ignored. On the rare occasion I do get a response it is either clearly a 'standard' template which claims that I need to clear my cache, check the wiring in my house, etc. or else it is some barely legible reply that seems...

In 1976, I made a will at a solicitors in north London, leaving all my assets to a religious group based in London. Subsequently. I moved to E Anglia, and in 1982 got a local solicitor to add a codicil to my will, leaving my assets to a seperate branch of the same religious group, based in E. Anglia. I have the original copy of my will, and of the codicil. The solicitors in north London have a...

There is a thread running in the other place of the same title. One of the characters who has posted there has said that I should have got an injunction as part of the action through the small claims track. I have asked - could I have done that, what would it have achieved, what would it have cost - but have had no response. Can anyone oblige please?

My wife and I are expecting our second child in September and I would like to take some time off work at the time of the birth. My company have the standard part in our employee manual about the statutory leave i.e. I can choose to take 1 or 2 weeks paternity leave. In addition to that the company states that it will pay "normal salary for the first 3 days of Paternity Leave. This payment will...

Hi all, A little over 3 years ago I bought a £2200 TV from Comet which has now died. My wife went into the shop we bought it from and requested a repair under the SOGA. An engineer inspected the TV and said it was quite a common problem and that he would arrange a pickup for repair (this was 2 weeks ago). This morning I rang the service center for an update and was told that the estimated...

I work for a large supermarket chain and have been told by Human Resource that i can't take my holidays during the period of June, July or August because these months are booked up solid by fellow employees. The supermarket have a scheme where only ten percent of the workforce can be off at any given time and as a result the main holiday period of June, July and August are fully booked. The...

My neighbour has just erected a fence on my land this morning while we were out. There is a shared outbuilding between our two houses; it has seperate rooms in it but the overall structure spans both properties. There's a very small sketch of what it looks like he http://www.lord-fox.net/temp/fence.jpg The deeds to the property show the boundary as running straight up to

Hmm... not content with trying to take a square metre of our back garden, our neighbour has just sprung this one. No doubt to try to bully us into letting them have the land at the back but... Our houses (the whole row of semi's) were built for and once owned by the police for accommodation of coppers. They were split and sold. There are shared outbuildings between each pair of semi's and...

It's of no great importance, but I wonder who owns the copyright in photos which were taken by my grandfather in the 1920s? I have the negatives, which I've scanned; I'm about to start sending electronic copies to local history groups in the area where he grew up. Is the copyright expired, or do I create a new copyright by processing them? -- David

As a matter of course, I record non-private telephone-calls. At the beginning of the call, I announce the fact that I am recording the call. The reason for my recordings is that I like to have a record of the call in case a dispute should arise. I record directly onto the PC. Today, the member of a banking call centre staff would have me believe that my recording the call was illegal. I do not...

My wife has started to receive texts containing smutty jokes. She calls them 'obscene', but in truth they are childishly smutty. The number from which they originate is not one we recognise. After four or five of these over a period of a couple of weeks, Mrs TOF is getting fed up with them. We texted back to say the the texts were not wanted, and please desist. That may be the end of it...

Hi there ! I've been listening to the woes of a relative and was wondering what are the legal ramifications and consequences if a one asks for a divorce from a spouse who is here on the two year spouse visa ? The marriage is obviously not working out so if a divorce was filed would the spouse be repatriated if divorce was agreed ? It is clear that the spouse in question will try to do most...

Hi, When the DWP makes a JSA decision, it mentions about 'if you disagree with this decision', etc. Is there a legal obligation to allow the claimant to disagree and therefore appeal against the decision? What if the DWP, through not replying to any letters, denies any form of disagreement and access to the appeals process?

I have been reading on another forum that whatever has been signed for on a tenancy agreement it is superseded by the law in connection with Landlords and Tenants. Is this true as one of my children is due to give notice on her flat thinking she had to give one months from the date but has spotted it is two months notice. Ken

Hi Bought a brand new car (Renault) from local main dealer in Seot 2005. The UCH (computer unit that controls wipers amongst other things) has failed three times since I've had it - wipers have stopped working or won't turn off. Main dealer have always diagnosed the fault as the UCH each time and replaced under warrenty with no question.

In the news recently, two well known British executives were arrested by US police for suspicion of dodgy dealings with a third country. Among the items confiscated were laptops and Blackberries. Photocopies of hardcopy documents were allegedly made by the US authorities. Under the assumption that hard drives of defence-related organisations would be encrypted, under what circumstances can...

Hi, I am a personal advocate for a lady client who went through avery bad divorce 22 years ago and came out with virtually nothing, thanks to a very poor solicitor who did nothing (and even actively refused) to enforce enforce court orders which would have preserved legitimate 50% interests in joint assetts. This is the reverse of the usual situation where men lose out! Cut to the chase. 22...
