A Friday afternoon sort of question
Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:25:06 +0000
We've just received the following memo at work (names blanked, of
course) and I wondered if our landlords are obliged to do what they say
they are or if they are just using the term "to comply with current
legislation" to stop anyone arguing. I don't have a problem with what
they are suggesting, it's an idle ...

Charity debts and Trustees
Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:20:09 +0000
I am the Trustee of a small registered charity and have been advised that
the charity owes money to a small business which is threatening to take the
charity to the small claims court for settlement. Am I right in thinking
that as a Trustee I am theoretically liable for any debts of the charity?
Thanks.

Re-drafting of will
Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:30:03 +0000
My mother has just arranged for her will to be
re-drafted by a new firm of solicitors that are
closer to where she lives. On advising the old
firm, they seem to insist on sending the original
will (dated 1981) to her, so she may destroy it.
Is this normal practice? Why doesn't the old firm
live dangerou ...

Can I reclaim rates overpayments caused by VA error?
Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:15:07 +0000
We recently received a rating valuation from the Valuation Office.
This clearly showed that we are being rated on something that does not
exist, ie. first floor storage.
We contacted the VA and the investigation began.
Today we had a visit from a VA officer. He immediately stated 'I think I
know what has happen ...
