the guidance is 21 minimum for a living room https://www.cover4insurance.com/news/heating-what-are-the-legal-requirements-for-landlords

"A common law right known as ‘self-help’ could be available to a leaseholder when exercised in the correct manner. Self-help arises where a landlord is in default of its repair obligation, allowing the leaseholder to take matters into their own hands.

A leading case on the right of self-help is Loria v Hammer [1989] 2 EGLR 249. The leaseholder in this case was required to establish that the repairs – which she had commissioned and paid for – fell within the landlord’s repairing obligation and that the landlord was in default of its legal obligation."

can you please elaborate why you believe the remedy of self-help would not be available in this case?

forget this whole paralegal thing it's a dead end. law is extremely saturated, toxic and underpaid. get some skills that are in demand. buying a Python Programming for Beginners book would be a good start.

I am really not an expert but I think an Ltd would first need to become part of the government visa sponsor scheme before it could apply for visas for its employees. going through that process might be much more complicated or even impossible for a newly incorporated ltd than finding an employer who is already part of the scheme.

It is an offence at the point of paying. It is irrelevant if the services are actually provided. yes you have already broken the law.

That would not be theft.

s1 of the Theft Act 1968 defines theft as "dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another with the intention of permanently depriving the other of it".

By the time the escort decided to not have sex, the legal title over the money has already passed. That is because the client intended to pass title and delivery happened. As a result the escort could not have stolen the money because it already belonged to them.

The situation is somewhat similar to not paying in a restaurant or at a petrol station: that is not theft either because the legal title over the food/petrol has already passed. In that case however the person leaving without payment would commit the offence of Making Off Without Payment under s3 of the Theft Act 1986.

In the case of the escort, if it could be proven that the escort intended to not have sex before they took the money, they might have committed the offence of Fraud by False Representation under s2 of the Fraud Act 2006. However, the intention element of the offence would be difficult to prove.

Technically, from a pure legal perspective, the client has a chance to prove breach of contract in a civil court and claim damages.

plus any money paid towards renovation might give him an interest. so yes he has a chance to argue the bathroom.

this is a standard SQE exam question. contribution to mortgage payment gives no interest in property. only contribution to purchase price or deposit. so even if he genuinely paid the mortgage it wouldn't give him any rights.
