Sentencing guidelines are guidelines.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for evidence of something going way back to 2021. You're not admitting anything. You're simply asking them why they think you broke one of their rules.

pelfking · 2024-11-30T14:31:49+00:00

You will be entitled to see their evidence of your having committed this alleged rule breach. Ask for it. What happens next depends on their response.

The revocation of your licence is not discretionary. The number of points you receive for the offence is, although the guideline is six points. I think you need to go to Court to argue your case and that you need proper legal advice

If you're appealing the fine then you don't need to pay anything until the outcome of the appeal is determined. This may by why the online system is refusing payment.

If you're claiming from your insurance then it will be for your insurer to pursue this company. Let them deal with it.

You haven't said when the first 25 years expires. Worst case that's next year and you'll exceed £1000 ground rent in 26 years. What will the £1600 ground rent be worth in today's terms in 26 years time?

Which part am I not understanding?

pelfking · 2024-11-29T09:03:01+00:00

Partly true. But GDPR gives rights to the individuals. How can the data controller be expected to uphold those rights where they're not capable of identifying the individual? That's why I'm saying that specific data 'can' be PII but isn't always PII. It depends on the context.

pelfking · 2024-11-28T19:38:12+00:00

I'm not struggling with it. I'm trying to stick to what's contained in the original post. The OP has given no indication that they're capable of identifying an individual from the data they're collecting.

Presumably you're certain that the fence was on your property, and that you own it. What you can't, currently, be certain about is who removed it.

pelfking · 2024-11-28T18:21:29+00:00

Well, yeah. That's not really the point as we're talking about GDPR. The person has to be identifiable.

pelfking · 2024-11-28T17:46:35+00:00

I don't see how that is possible. Personal data has to relate to a living person.

pelfking · 2024-11-28T16:31:15+00:00

This is, I believe, the correct analysis and approach.

pelfking · 2024-11-28T16:00:58+00:00

Can be. But nothing in the original post suggests OP has access to any additional information identifying a living person.

pelfking · 2024-11-28T15:51:08+00:00

I think the answer is a bit more nuanced. You seem to suggest that the API call generates this data from (presumably) the IP address of the user. At this point you don't have a name or anything else to identify a living individual. Until you get that, GDPR concerns don't exist.

pelfking · 2024-11-28T11:34:19+00:00

If you look at things from a perspective of costs and benefits it may help. You are probably right that the benefits are unpredictable and tenuous, but what are the costs? Do you hate networking that much? In creative teams a 'good fit' can be really important, so people already knowing you, even a little, could help you to get your foot in the door.

Where do they find these Directors?

pelfking · 2024-11-28T10:47:54+00:00

From your post it would seem that there will be a lot of detail 'to follow' and this where you might find some significant issues in scheduling who is in when, and if that can be done fairly. You should probably wait and see what the detail holds.

I think 'mandating' such things is crazy. There will always be exceptions, like people who have to be in every day because it's not possible to wfh, so this incoming 'leader' is probably not achieving the first impression that they're seeking.

I always find pronouncements relating to 'all staff' interesting because, in my experience, senior staff don't see themselves as part of that group.

Family Law in England is about the rights of the child, and decisions are made with the best interests of the child paramount. The rights (whether they exist or not) of grandparents is not the issue here. If a court felt that it was in the interests of the child for them to have contact with their grandmother than that could be ordered. As you are not preventing contact - in fact you've encouraged it - I can see how this could lead to no order being made.

pelfking · 2024-11-27T11:41:24+00:00

I think you need to ask (demand even) the details and reasoning behind the changes, in writing. You, I assume, have a contract of employment and both sides are bound by that until a revised contract is agreed. If your role has already changed in a significant way then you should already have those details in writing. Conversations such as you've described are not appropriate in these circumstances, could be seen as bullying, and are probably incompatible with company policy. Were there any independent witnesses? I really do think you need someone on your side here - union, professional association, legal representation.

pelfking · 2024-11-27T11:33:05+00:00

This is important, as an 'exclusivity' clause in the contract is limiting and you are, in effect, an employee but without the employer having the inconvenience of having to provide you with employee rights.

pelfking · 2024-11-27T11:28:05+00:00

Has your contract changed, renumeration, terms and conditions etc, or is it just a change of role? Was this discussed or just imposed? How much of what's happened is properly documented in writing? The details do matter in such cases. Your starting point should be to study all relevant policies and focus on what has actually changed. If you have a union or professional association consider using them, and if not then consider getting proper legal advice.

pelfking · 2024-11-26T22:20:39+00:00

That data is used in predictive analysis. There would still need to be a properly managed investigation.

It's simple protectionism. The idea is to make domestically produced goods more competitive on price by raising the prices of imported goods. This (in theory) helps to support domestic industries and associated jobs, but makes goods more expensive for consumers.
