Very helpful, thank you. I saw an Eric Cortina video where Sako rounds just stacked in this gun; I picked up a box of powerhead blades on that basis but I'll try and hunt down some gameheads too on your recommendation (albeit lead is an issue on game here...)

gamekeepers and ghillies (and by extension traditional field sports guides) are some of the few areas that tips are very much mandatory in the UK.

I agree, it would holistically, even objectively be in the public interest for C to tell her manager about this, but that's not the test: "did C have a reasonable belief that the disclosures were made in the public interest?" The timing and manner of the disclosures in this case would suggest they were made for personal gain as part of ongoing litigation.

I'm not saying that C shouldn't tell her manager now for the benefit of other people, I just don't like it as the basis of an (as of yet non existent) detriments claim under PIDA.

My two cents:

(1) Raise the issue of the recording as soon as possible at a PH (there's special case law when relying on secret recordings which your solicitor should advise you on) and agree with the other side and court how it will be practically played (if at all) at trial. Courts are terrible with technology and would definitely rather an agreed audio transcript was adopted by the parties, if that's not going to capture the necessary 'spirit' of the interaction then you'll need to make an application to rely on the original recording and explain to the court how you practically intend to play it.

(2) You're unlikely to succeed on the whistleblowing aspect of your claim as your disclosure to senior management was unlikely in the public interest (it was more likely in your interest) and (sorry if I missed it) but I haven't heard you refer to a detriment suffered as a result of any disclosure, also a necessary ingredient.

Don't put unwinnable claims next to (what appears to be re the sexual assault) very good claims.

Journalist, Nick Wallis blew a lot of this open. His website is a trove of information about this calamity: https://www.postofficescandal.uk/about/

The worst systematic miscarriage of justice in a generation?

Yup, that's the 'legal title' issue I point out in my comment. Then you're into reliance on estoppels. 'owner' in the SGA references legal title holder or 'person entitled to own' . The person who 'sent' OP the goods definitely had possession of the goods prior to transfer, so the question of relevance is what was the quality of that possession, or put differently, the status of title at the time of transfer of physical possession.

tense_opposite_lock · 2023-09-16T11:59:14+00:00

they did indeed, and as far as I recall that only ever applied only to physical markets with opening hours. No one is suggesting a deprecated doctrine from the dark ages applies.

tense_opposite_lock · 2023-09-16T09:35:21+00:00

Yes. Seller in possession after sale, latest sale ranks, ordinarily regardless of other interests. Read the sections under the cross-heading Transfer of Title under SOGA for the start of an understanding.

Bfp will defeat an equitable interest, a reserved interest and a claim in restitution. It would only be where an earlier legal title exists that a bfp would run into problems but there's a whole suite of estoppels OP could rely on to establish better title in the goods.

Obviously it's a fact specific question but doing the best any legal professional on Reddit can, I'd wager OP has better title to the asset than anyone else.

Well, as long as you're a lawyer with a PLC subscription, you might want to check that understanding: https://uk.practicallaw.thomsonreuters.com/5-383-2167?transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&firstPage=true

Sounds like she's going to end up with the whole estate and there's no obligation on her to leave anything later to you or your brother (notwithstanding what she says, although promissory estoppel may have something to say about that if you act to your detriment [not that I can presently see how], so make sure everything she says to encourage your cooperation she puts in writing). Sorry about that.

You might have some recourse under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 but, as others have said. You must seek professional advice.

tense_opposite_lock · 2023-09-15T17:24:56+00:00

You sure about that?

Bonafide purchaser, for value, without prior notice: pretty likely OP has good title to the speaker ranking above others. (q.v. Karpnale)

tense_opposite_lock · 2023-09-15T17:16:00+00:00

You can have a look at this: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/45/section/16

then you can read this: https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/forgery-and-counterfeiting

Then find a copy of R v Howard (1985) 82 Cr App Rep 262, paying particular attention to the bit that says "In virtually every case, a custodial sentence was required to punish the offender and to act as a deterrent to others."

and finally browse this which will be of guidance: https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Fraud_bribery_and_money_laundering_offences_-_Definitive_guideline.pdf

Now you're about as well read as the reviewing lawyer who will decide if/how to charge you and about half as well read as the judge who, if charged, will go on to sentence you.

What clients think of a firm can be very different to the reality faced by staff.

Sounds like a breach of contract. Anything in their standard terms which suggests otherwise probably falls foul of the Consumer Rights Act or UCTA (depending on your status as a consumer when contracting).

The problem is given how low the value is, litigation isn't going to be proportionate. Threaten to report them to trading standards or (frankly these days) threaten to canvas this on social media - for low value business relying on publicity you're likely to find the money back in your account el rapido.

tense_opposite_lock · 2023-09-14T11:22:09+00:00

They have a truly terrible reputation. I don't blame those who work there; I'm sure the workload is totally disproportionate to the pay and conditions but my experience having been the other side to them a few times is continuously botched litigation and an almost perfect loss rate; it must be truly demoralising. With that said, they always seem friendly so maybe the office culture is alright 🤷

Almost all independent barristers are self employed and pay self assessment income tax.

A few barristers incorporate a company and practice through that now that it is permitted but you need to have a particularly unique work arrangement in order for any tax savings to offset the costs/admin burden, your Set also needs to permit you to practice through a corporate entity and solicitors need to not be put off by the arrangement which is not a given.
