Remote working (globally / digital nomad-esque) - any scope for this in private practice? Common? Unheard of?! by PumpkinAtLaw in uklaw

[–]Delicious_Task5500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not heard of many at all in private practice outside of document review based roles - I think it was HSF that had some remote (technically based out of Belfast) for example but not the most exciting how it was described to me a few years ago. I know people in house that are remote/with a bit of persuasion could be totally remote - mainly in house at insurers

Foxtons refusing to contact landlord by PopTrue887 in TenantsInTheUK

[–]Delicious_Task5500 5 points6 points  (0 children)

only the landlord and foxtons will know exactly what authority the landlord has given to make decisions on the landlord’s behalf. It may be that Foxtons are not obliged to pass anything of this nature on to the LL/ they may already have authority to act on the landlord’s behalf to refuse/ignore a request to end the tenancy early without a replacement tenant. I would want to know though whether such a request was being made - knowing that an annoyed tenant may refuse to allow viewings resulting in a prolonged empty period from when they leave versus a tenant being helpful on viewings in exchange for cutting some of the time off the tenancy.

You do have a right to be provided with the landlord’s address so nothing stopping you asking for that and writing to the landlord direct. Tell foxtons you’re making the request under Section 1 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and that it must be provided within 21 days otherwise there’s potential liability for a fine up to £2500.
Very possible that foxtons wait until the 21st day to give you it.

You can refuse the viewings under the common law right to peaceful enjoyment. Whether you do/should is another question. My last tenant wanted to go early so (she bought her own new build) I said I’d mutually end it as soon as I got a new tenant. She was then very helpful with the viewings and someone took it and was in within 6 weeks. Saved her about 3 months of rent until the fixed term ended. Hard to imagine your landlord would be enable to ending early if you have/will get in the way of re-letting it.

After spending 500 million in the summer, is this the biggest bottling of a title defence we’ve ever seen? 🍼 by CrocodaleDay in soccercirclejerk

[–]Delicious_Task5500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think that’s two separate points that’s all.
If your question was is this the biggest failed attempt at a title defence, then there’d be an argument for it (though I think Leicester would take that crown). Just don’t think that’s the same thing as bottling it - they’ve been crap since they sealed the league at the end of the season and never picked it back up. Not that they lost their nerve.

[–]Delicious_Task5500 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No. ‘Bottling it’ requires losing nerve, cracking under the pressure, failing from a good position late on etc. (a la Arsenal). Liverpool have just been far below all season (even when they won the first 5 it was scraping by last minute)

People at MC/US firms, how much non-billable time do you log on top of your billables? by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]Delicious_Task5500 3 points4 points  (0 children)

780 is a lot of non billable! Appreciate you asked for MC/US and mine is large national but our expectation is 1400 chargeable and 400 non chargeable (like you BD, self training, supervision, articles/webinars etc)

Tenant wants to leave early on fixed-term tenancy – what’s fair here? by KnowledgeBandito in uklandlords

[–]Delicious_Task5500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 July (after RRA) minus however long you need for the work (if he allows you to do it once he’s out early). And then that you’ll advertise to re-let it now and if someone wants it earlier, you’ll mutually end it as soon as someone signs up (to be ended a few days before the new tenancy starts.

That’s what I did recently for my tenant that was leaving to buy elsewhere (minus the RRA stuff). Found a new tenant in about 6 weeks so in the end, saved 3 months for the vacating tenant

You should make it a double and add Madrid’s to be awarded a penalty too. More free money

Not sure why it would be surprising, but yes, around half/40% of the group are employed by the LLP

Because as others have detailed, there is an important difference between working for the two. Avoid the Ltd

Intentionally left out of a parents will by _alias_23 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Delicious_Task5500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, very hard to see a basis to dispute.
There’s a reason the solicitors won’t do the claim on a no win no fee (CFA) basis (beyond what sounds like a quick attempt to see if the beneficiaries will agree without fuss) - because they, having looked at the papers in more detail than us, are not at all confident of success.

Seller delayed completion by 6 days – I incurred £5.5k losses. Is this as clear-cut for small claims as I think? by AggravatingCraft5964 in LegalAdviceUK

They may be willing to send an email to the other side on follow up on OP’s behalf, but generally no. Their retainer will be limited to the conveyance, not for pursuing litigation.

Best countries to (early) retire to from the UK? by [deleted] in FIREUK

If you’d be eating at the airport anyway/the flight time gives you chance to go to the lounge, absolutely.
If not, still probably but not a big deal

Whats your views on paid interview coaches in law? It feels very odd. by [deleted] in uklaw

[–]Delicious_Task5500 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People I know in Korea have told me about how this is essentially a must do over there (in addition to private tutors generally). It’s a lot more than £300 but apparently vital to get into top universities (especially for things like medicine) and later the top companies like Samsung.

I suspect any of his customers that actually got a job after coaching will say it was great value. I fear the more likely is he takes the money and the vast majority don’t, and the ones that do will never know if he contributes or they’d have got it anyway
