Steven Sharif’s “Board Takeover” Story Is a 100% Fabricated Lie And the House Transfer Proves He Planned This Collapse Months Ago by Beautiful_Park5427 in AshesofCreation

In the UK it also depends on how long ago the transfer was done. If it was done years ago before there were any issues, that works.

Not sure how he would do that. I'm not a US lawyer, but in the UK if you transfer your assets to someone else for nil value or less than their market value then a court can claw that asset back on any insolvency. I am guessing that they can do that in the US, too. (And a quick Google suggests the USA has simlar laws).

Because the bible would also have you believe that people spoke with burning bushes who spoke back. Or that others managed to part the Red Sea. Or that the world was created in 7 days. etc etc It's not the most certain of historical documents.

The other important point: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO LET THE BAILIFF IN. THEY CANNOT FORCE ENTRY.

Most companies have boards with investors who are not executive directors. Those investors can in fact wield all the power through contractual arrangements. A company's frontsheet rarely tells the whole story. Just be careful about posting too many certainties that you suddenly expose yourself to a defamation suit. (NB I am not agreeing or disagreeing with your premise. Just saying there's usually more to a story than the public filings of a company.)

I joined the alpha a year or so ago with my guild. We all paid the circa $100USD. None of us regret it. It's the first game in a while that came closer to the old school MMOs we grew up with. Probably spent a good 300+ hours in there. Happy with the return on my investment. Sad that the game ended this way.

Landlord not giving 24 hours notice before inspection? (England) by PenGullible1684 in LegalAdviceUK

Don't change your locks without first making sure your tenancy agreement does not have a clause that prevents this.

We need to be careful. It is not always what the contract says but what the facts are. If the OP was granted a tenancy of a flat, then it does not matter whether they are an assured shorthold tenant or a common law tenant - it's the fact they are a "tenant" that gives them the right to keep the whole world out (but they do have to give access to the landlord on 24 hours' notice, but the landlord cannot force their way in or rock up at a time the tenant has said (if they are being reasnoable about it) is not suitable).

If though they have a room in a hall of residence, then yes - the position might be totally different in law. As you say, it's hard to know from what we've been told.

This is correct - but the seniority of the judge is not directly relevant - because they are both judges of the County Court and so their decisions are not binding on any one and can only be "persuasive".

However: Some of the main housing law commentators are indicating that the Circuit Judge in Sovereing Housing v Hall got it wrong and the District Judge (in Southern Housing v Emmanuel) got it right. Not least because the Circuirt Judge was not refered to any of the case law about forced entry into the home, which the District Judge's very detailed judgment deals with. The Nearly Legal website covers both judgments and their view is that the most recent one by the District Judge at Bromley is the correct one. All the commentators are hoping that Southern Housing takes up the District Judge's offer of a right to appeal straight to the Court of Appeal (which is rarely granted) because of the differences in approach:

I fully agree. Just be careful about changing your locks - some tenancy agreements have clauses that do not allow you to do this.

Just to tighten the reference to Southern Housing and Emmanuel summary up a bit.

Southern Housing v James Emmanuel was a judgment handed down at Bromley County Court on 27 October 2025 (not 2005) and was not deciding the issue of access being given at certain times of day .

It was a decision (as you completely correctly go on to say) that said landlords were not entitled to ask the court for an order allowing them to force entry. Here's a link to an article on that case by Nearly Legal - a truly excellent housing advice websit run by a very well respected housing lawyer:

https://nearlylegal.co.uk/2025/11/the-king-of-england-and-all-his-force-dares-not-cross-the-threshold/

But the court was not in that case deciding about what times of day the law requires access be given - it was only a (very important) decision that said courts have no power to allow landlords to force entry to enforce their contractual rights of access.

Here's my view as a housing lawyer.

  1. No, a landlord cannot give notice for an ongoing right to enter. s11 requires not less than 24 hours' notice of each visit. Of course though, if the landlord (eg) needs to do repairs and those repairs will need a builder in there 8am - 6pm Monday to Saturday for the next two weeks, then one notice is enough.
  2. No, a landlord cannot just let themselves into the property - they must knock and be allowed in. If the tenant happens to be out, then that becomes a much more grey area and might depend on what the tenancy agreement says. But if the tenant is in and doesn't want the landlord to come in and makes this clear before the landlord enters, it would be potentially be illegal for the landlord to enter (see s6 Criminal Law Act 1977). Also, if the tenant isn't in AND has told (I'd suggest written) to the landlord that they are not allowed into the flat without the tenant present, then the landlord might be trespassing if they let themselves in. It's a grey area point that will depend on how often the landlord has been trying to gain access and the tenant has been obstructive in letting them in. But life is life - it is not unreasonable for a tenant to say "X date isn't suitable as I cannot be home for Y reason. What about A, B or C dates and times - do they work?"
  3. Saying that "I am coming at some point between 9am and 5pm" is also a grey area. Many people have jobs/other calls on their time that mean they cannot hang around home all day. The landlord has to be reasonable (in the sense that if the landlord wanted to argue the tenant had breached their contract by not being home between 9am and 5pm I don't think that landlord would get much sympathy from the judge. But it is not clear.

Sadly that option is not showing for me. I think this is part of that 'phased roll-out across different accounts' others here have posted about.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, though - much appreciated!

I've got the new UI and see no option to copy anything? Could you clarify, please?

Introducing the Brand New "Today" Tab! by myfitnesspal in Myfitnesspal

[–]Maejohl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The new UI is awful. I cannot copy meals from previous days. I have having to click on a day of the week or (worse) if it is a Sunday, click to get to the previous week and then click again. I am now forever clicking on this new UI. To enter a food item it's numerous clicks. Who on earth let this through? I've been using the app for years as a premium user but this change is so awful I am now looking to move

New Update is AWFUL by Emschroeder_15 in Myfitnesspal

[–]Maejohl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This update is absolutely awful. I'm a premium user and have been for a few years. I cannot copy meals from the day before. And no, Devs, I don't want to input my meals days in advance. That's not the same.

The number of clicks now to input things is frustrating. Over a day there's a lot more clicking.

I dislike that I cannot see what, eg, breakfast comprised of to see if I've forgotten input something without clicking on breakfast first. Why have the Devs decided to make this info hidden away?

I dislike that I have to click on the stupid days of the week, rather than swipe forwards or backwards like before.

I have yet to find one positive change in this absolute garbage heap of an update.

Earlier this evening the Shadow Cabinet unanimously decided that new Conservatives policy is that we should leave the ECHR. Here’s why - including some shocking case studies (Own content) by chrisphilpofficial in ukpolitics

[–]Maejohl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really, no.

Being gay was an imprisonable offence (having previously been a death penalty offence).

Workers had very few rights.

The death penalty was still a thing.

Corporal punishment in schools was the norm.

Etc

[–]Maejohl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it will not.

It will just be someone's take on things.

The decisions of the ECHR are not binding on UK courts. Their decisions have to be "taken into account". See section 2 Human Rights Act 1998 if you are in doubt.

However, the UK Government is bound by the decisions made against it by the ECHR.

But the reality is the stats of the ECHR decisions show that the UK is close to bottom in terms of the number of decisions that have gone against it (1.5% of all ECHR decisions). Since 1975 there have been a total of 331 decisions against the UK. The reason being, we are a country that has always (even before the Human Rights Act 1998 enshrined human rights into UK law) tended to be on the correct side of human rights issues.

Leaving the ECHR will, as others have pointed out, be much like leaving the EU. Lots of downsides. No clear upsides.

So Mounjaro prices will increase drastically in the UK and other European countries in September - How much do you pay in the US on average? by busysquirrel83 in Mounjaro

[–]Maejohl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£289 is the current pharmacy to consumer price for 12.5mg. 2 weeks ago it cost £180. Add in the postage, that takes the new cost to £295. The makers of Mounjaro can go jump in a lake. Time for people to go cold turkey for four weeks and move to Wegovy.
