Dogs Not Allowed
Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:10:09 +0100
Our local Post Office has a small 'Dogs Not Allowed' sign on it's
front door.
I can understand this where food & drink is for sale, or is being
consumed - Health & Safety rules, etc. But this is just a Post Office
with a tiled floor..
Is this just a jobsworth flaunting his power, or is there a valid law
in ...

based 'crime' (more a disorder than crime, but crime under the law
nevertheless). They are looking for browser and word processing
history.

Another train fare question
Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:50:05 +0100
The "Train Fare" saga has made me wonder about something that happened
to me this week.
I bought a cheap day return from Paddington ("London Terminals"), but
on the return journey the train stopped at a station which was more
convenient, so I got out. I was expecting, especially after following
the Train Fare t ...

Would anyone be able to suggest any answer to this?
The situation is being charged under the act mentioned above with making
an offensive gesture to a passing motorist, with an 80 pound fixed

I'm facing trial for fraud. It involves a receipt I have for a cash
payment. It has been alleged that I tricked someone into signing it.
I'm happy with my legal team, but I wondered if anyone else has a

Rental not as described
Mon, 21 Jul 2008 23:05:03 +0100
This is a not-very hypothetical question from an academic rather than
practical view.

I am a member of a social club that meets up once or twice a month for
drinks and then several times a year organises an outing or day trip.
I have concerns about how it is run and the legal implication thereof.
I think it best to demon ...

Direct Debit guarantee - any legal standing?
Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:50:09 +0100
A large british telecommunications company has charged me some 200GBP
for work they carried out which I think should have been done at their
cost. About 3 months into the dispute (which I did raise here, but it
created little legal interest) they withdrew the price of this work from
my bank account by direct ...
