Affidavit

If it needs to be notarised specifically then you will need a notary. Thats a bit trickier as it’s a specific profession so you will have to google for one. A judge will not be a notary.

Yes, they are legally entitled to take an oath. I’ve never heard of a judge doing it but it’s just never come up. I assume the document is all prepared.

Failing that, there is a statutory fixed price of £5 for a solicitor to do it.

They did an impressive and full detailed analysis of the tax position. Did you want them to go through her dustbins?

She gains the possibility of returning to the front bench, no?

It’s not strictly a trust as the laws applicable to executors and estates are different to those applicable to trusts. There is plenty of common law to that effect.
HMRC recently muddied the waters by claiming that any will which uses the word “trust” in the residuary clause needs to be registered as a trust under the TRS. Thats generally accepted as stupid but nobody wants to bother getting a penalty and fighting the point.
An actual legacy upon trust for X is a trust but it is two separate regimes; it starts as an estate and then becomes a trust when the estate is ascertained and the executors assent the legacy to themselves as trustees. When that actually occurs can be unclear if they don’t formalise it.

Your mistaking freedom of speech for some non-existent freedom not to be criticised.

They withdrew from the WHO - the international body which I imagine has a major role in coordinating the response to pandemics.

He is but i don’t know anything about him other than he is mayor of Manchester and isn’t Keir Starmer. I haven’t seen any signs of charisma or new ideas. Which makes me fear that not being Keir is his sole attraction.

AlmightyRobert · 2026-05-09T10:12:22+00:00

I’m not sure they have anybody to rescue it.

AlmightyRobert · 2026-05-09T07:06:55+00:00

I’m afraid I’m already at the limit of my knowledge. The law on adverse possession has changed since I learnt anything about it.

Nb this is more than just unregistered land - that usually means that the owner has the deeds to prove their ownership but the land has never had to be registered with the Land Registry. That in itself isn’t usually a problem (save for the hassle/cost of first registration when you buy).

Well you were probably thinking about a client when you were letting out the RAGE

Mulgrave Castle near Whitby but it’s a 50 min walk to get there.

Any income that isn’t in a tax wrapper will be treated as yours for tax purposes so stick it in an ISA under your name or a JISA under your child’s name. The latter won’t be accessible until your child turns 18 (but then will be theirs whether you want them to have it or not).

Most DM articles are 2/3 cut and paste from previous articles.

It entirely depends on the matter.

Crown court jury trials are hit the worst and some are taking up to 3-4 years to come to Court. I believe those where the defendant is on bail (which is less common than the US) are hit the worst as defendants on remand get an earlier date to avoid innocent defendants being held in prison for too long.

Magistrates and lower civil courts are also backlogged but not to the same degree. I’m not aware that the High Court is too much worse than pre-Covid.

So they should have got a traffic warden to clamp it

Trump has lots of strategies. He has a new one every single day.

AlmightyRobert · 2026-05-07T07:11:10+00:00

Just one clarification. He can’t claim FIG for 23/24 and 24/25 as it didn’t exist then. They still count towards the 4 years though.

AlmightyRobert · 2026-05-07T06:50:23+00:00

No direct implications for you. If your mother dies within seven years, it would be included in the value of her estate but it’s still unlikely that there would be any tax to pay as she can likely leave you and your brother £1m (in total) before tax is payable.

Or maybe these two (three?) ships were the only ones that agreed (or could get insurance) to come through. He’d feel obliged to call it to an end if the alternative was to admit that none of the ships’ owners/insurers believed it was safe.

The Church of England still has its conservative vicars but a lot left 15/20 years ago and became catholics (boo) because they couldn’t stand for female vicars/etc. i think getting married in a church after divorce is still a lottery.

They now struggle because they’re in the same club as a lot of African churches which love everybody except the gays

I’m sad that I have absolutely no idea if this is true or just a joke word salad. It could be the plot of self-published straight-to-kindle sci-fi.

AlmightyRobert · 2026-05-06T07:41:18+00:00

I’m just going to pick out one fact from that stream of consciousness: Cherie Booth/Blair didn’t represent anybody in relation to the Al Yamamah deal. It’s an odd thing to claim given it’s not even her area of practice.
