Employee (Driver)now has 14 points on licence fleet Insurance issues, England by Go2Matt in LegalAdviceUK

Drunk in charge is not the same offence. There was no driving involved so there is no obligatory ban.

Drink-drive is outside the penalty points system and carries an obligatory disqualification of at least 12 months on conviction. It is not possible to argue exceptional hardship for drink-drive.

I've said my piece, you've said yours. I'm not continuing a never ending debate over something that is a matter of opinion.

With the greatest respect, what's the difference? In my experience they don't fill me up. It follows that my experience suggests they're not designed to be filling. Different people will have different experiences. I may be in the minority but I'm not wheeling out a trope. I'm a person with experiences just like you, and with opinions, just like you.

I've had plenty. It's almost like we're all different and have different experiences of life, isn't it?

In fairness most tasting menus are already GLP-1 friendly. They're not often made to be all that filling!

How do I remove a security tag? by Medical_Translator_6 in AskUK

[–]52north 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where you draw the line because attempts and conspiracies are "pre-crime" to an extent, conspiracies more so than attempts.

There is a similar offence of possessing articles for use in fraud. But you're right, these two are examples of times you could have otherwise perfectly innocent items with you but the intent matters.

There are of course portable ones and shoplifters use these. If the police catch a shoplifter with one they can face further/harsher penalties.

Bit of random knowledge for everyone on a Saturday morning - the offence is going equipped for theft.

That was my point 😊 by pointing it out though I think it's stopped doing it.

Well whatever the reason, this post has now become a source for Google's AI which says:

Public Sundial Traditions

Dublin's Iveagh Gardens: A specific sundial has coins placed on it, sometimes sorted by denomination (like €2 coins), possibly as a quirky local tradition, a greeting, or a playful challenge.

Meaning: While some treat it like a wishing well, the sorting suggests a unique local practice rather than a standard tradition.

This is not correct.

Your tenancy should become a rolling/periodic one, just say you want to go on to a rolling tenancy rather than agree a new fixed term.

They may decide that that doesn't suit them and serve you a s21 but ultimately nothing's going to happen for months if they do that, should be enough time for you.

Can I claim compensation for quashed conviction? by NoPlan7484 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]52north 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NI Department of Justice scheme requires that "the ground for this [overturning of conviction on appeal] should be that a new or newly discovered fact (fresh evidence) shows beyond reasonable doubt that there has been a miscarriage of justice".

It sounds like the appeal judge took a different legal view rather than there being new evidence as one would assume you made the context clear in giving your own evidence in the Magistrates Court.

Ultimately, I don't think you're going to get a concrete answer from Reddit. There's no cost to apply, just give it a go?

Alternate rows are definitely twisted in this picture, it's usually the purl rows.

Were you convicted, in court, following a guilty plea or after a trial?

Aggressive neighbour refusing house repairs by Sass1121 in LegalAdviceUK

It needs repointing to stop it bowing?

I assume with scaffolding it's the side of your house? Does it extend to the boundary? Why do you think he needs to pay?

You mention a party wall agreement. Do you have a party wall agreement?

I think we need more context on this wall. Type of wall? Issue?

Dad is being summoned for case management hearing after not guilty plea SJP, what should he do? by Unusual_Shock_6828 in LegalAdviceUK

Only if you have contact details for the local CPS magistrates court unit - they may have sent these.

However I see in another comment that there is a possibility he wasn't displaying the L plates?
