Rodney Hylton-Potts a London lawyer said today: ‘Also I have been approached by several clients, because I am starting the UK equivalent of a class action, which could end up with thousands of clients claiming NATS, CAA and VAAC, from millions of pounds for negligent advice, breach of duty, and gross incompetence in mishandling the crisis. I have little doubt the airlines will be claiming, but I will be helping the little man and woman.’ Ends For further information e-mail [email protected] or telephone 020 738 18111.
Can my employer dock my pay if I cannot get into work? Employees have protection against an unauthorised deduction from their wages. Does the contract state that you do not get paid, if you do cannot get in, due to adverse weather? It can if the Employer drafts it correctly. Also another argument is that if an employee is unable to attend work, they have not performed their obligations, and therefore are not entitled to pay. Another Question: Can my employer force me to take a day off as holiday when I am stranded? Yes, if reasonable notice is given,…
My other half was driving. The couple share a car. Each driver from time to time. Month later a form arrives requiring the keeper to state who was driving. They cannot remember despite consulting diaries. It could have been either of them. This can result in all charges being dropped. Millionaires Ian and Jayne Oliphant-Thompson tried this, but got in a dreadful mess and ended up both getting fines and costs of over £1500 and sharing 12 penalty points. We can help.

The nearest we have had in the UK to as a US class actions have related to the tobacco industry, are not really accepted in English law.

Hylton Potts says…. ‘I decline to give detailed comment on speculation that I am advising either Ashley Cole or Cheryl Cole, or indeed not both of them, which would not be proper. What I can say is pet custody battles can be bloody. Their Chihuahuas Buster and Coco could be subject to a battle, as bitter as for those of the £22,000,000 of assets. Couples must understand that a pet may seem like a family member. To a court it is just another possession to be divided at divorce. Be aware that if the animal was yours before the marriage…
Win the right to a lawyer Teachers facing disciplinary action because of sexual misconduct allegations involving pupils have the right to a lawyer. The teacher (a man) kissed the boy (15) in a local church. He was dismissed after the boy’s parents read about the kiss in their son’s diary. The school reported the teacher to the Secretary of State for Schools, who, has the power to ban teachers for life from working with children. Delivering judgment, Lord Justice Laws said that a lawyer might make a “great deal” of difference to the “flavour and emphasis” of the governors’ conclusions,…
