I have a question of a a drivers duty/liability to check round his vehicle before getting in and driving off. For example, if one gets straight into the driving seat and does not notice a bicycle left by a child in front of the bonnet, is the driver liable for the damage as he should have checked? Or, more seriously, if it is a child playing in front of the car and the driver cannot see him...

Advice anyone please. A girl in her 20's has been raped, of that there is no doubt. The offender was a repeat offender and treated the young woman dreadfully. However, and this is the twist, the young lady concerned is now making false allegations about her rape counsellor. The police have said that what she alleges he did is not illegal, and the young lady says she does not want anything...

Is selling a legal over the counter drug as an illegal drug a crime? My query is prompted by this article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6459301.stm pseudoephedrine (which would presumably be used for "cutting" the illegal drug element to a trace) is not illegal, it appears in many over the counter cold and flu and allergy medicines freely available in the UK as well as those...

My father in law purchased a PC from PC World for £700 in May 2004. It is now not working (he lives in Scotland). Before I take it back, I wanted to know what the defnition of a 'reasonable length of time' would be for a computer. Is this defined anywhere, or does anyone have experience of how this has been defined in practice? Thanks

Hello there, I would like to lay a claim to an inheritance on my own rather than to pay a lawyer. Is that doable at all? The case seems relatively obvious as I am the only child. Anything you can suggest? Is there a ready to fill templete somewhere on line that you are aware of. Would anybody point me in the right direction. Would really appreciate this. Thanks a lot

Several small parish councils (civil, not ecclesiastical) in England are cooperating to run a web site for local news, small ads, business publicity etc. They are considering taking out liability insurance. Will they need one insurance policy for the site, or should they add the insurance to the policies of each of the separate parish councils? Thanks for any advice. James

I went to purchase 2 Rugby tickets for the RWC 2007, filled out online stuff, cc details etc and got an email back saying had to buy in pairs and one lot had sold out. Another email saying I could purchase 2 for the one game and now they had some more of the others arrive and I could revert back to 1 of each!!! I said go ahead with 1 of each. Heard nothing for over a week so over a period...

Hi All, I would be grateful if someone could shed some light on the legal rights for a pregnant lady when she wants to leave her employment to look after the baby when it is born. Bascially, I am after some clarification on how much SMP the employer needs to pay and also the legal requirement on the annual leave rights. The story so far is that the lady in question has worked for her employer

I guess like a lot of people I am increasingly buying items on the internet and sometimes needing to return the product. Usually this is without a problem except last August when we had a headboard from Next which took 6 months to resolve. We returned in accordance with their procedures but even after 5 months they insisted they were not in receipt of it but as act of goodwill were prepared...

Say some self-appointed Olympics bid committee recklessly states that the Olympics will cost 2.4 billion to host, and as a result 'London' commits to hosting the 2012 olympics. It then turns out (unsurprisingly in my view) that that figure is only 25% of the true cost, and of course it may well be higher by the time we actually get to 2012. Does said committee owe a duty of care to the rest...

What liability is there on a married man to continue to support, financially, his disabled wife after they divorce, assuming all other debts and liabilities are discharged?

If a company has an obligation to offer employees a free eye test because of their use of VDUs, is the company able to impose restrictions on where that eye test occurs? IANAL An additional question to this might be how often should this be offered, and should the company initiate arranging tests themselves - or is it only if a member of staff requests one that they need to do anything ?

Hi, In need of some advice.... We (3 housemates including me) took out a joint tenancy for a house last August. To cut a long story short, the place was filthy when we moved in - took months to get fire alarms fitted (and even then, we had to get the council involved), we got broken into 3 times due to weak security (no proper security external doors, no window locks - single glazed, no...
