    That a really good point Bronte - hadn't thought of that! Panic is a wonderful duller of logic.

    Charge on house as guarantor for credit union loan being called in

    Bronte - yes, there is a charge registered against the property. As far as I know the court were told about the credit union loan when the installment orders were made for the suppliers. As I have said, they accept that they are bound by the guarantee - but I want to explore every possibility...

    Charge on house as guarantor for credit union loan being called in

    Thanks all! Just to be clear - the solicitor has only become involved since the loan got into difficulty - they signed the guarantee without any advice. The credit union have a charge over the parents house. This was agreed without any legal advice. The solicitor they are using now seems to...

    Charge on house as guarantor for credit union loan being called in

    Thanks Brendan. The parents were leaving it to the solicitor in the main to talk to the credit union as they were so worried - the parents had a direct meeting today with the credit union and the manager has agreed to go back to the board again with all of the information. One of the...

    Although I have been on this site a long time this is the first time that I really need some help – please no lecture on how stupid they were – I know! Apologies for the length but I wanted to give all of the details and thanks for reading. A family member bought a business which has since gone...

    Notice pay when sick leave entitlements are exhausted

    Sorry to hear about that Sheeri, hopefully you were getting advice before you resigned. Unfortunately, if you are not available for work it is unlikely that you have any entitlement to wages during your notice.

    Question about possible unfair dismissal

    Transfer of undertakings regulations (if they apply) ensure that your terms and conditions of employment are preserved once the changeover happens to the new company. Any redundancy, whether connected to a transfer or not is subject to the same rules so the new company may be able to make...

    ESB Solicitor Letter

    Just a thought - Did you give an actual reading for the change over? Maybe this is an issue around estimations. Anyways, make a data protection or freedom of information request to the ESB and see what the file indicates

    LOL tvman, I bought 12 books for £17 (total) last week from awesomebooks... the problem now is that I need new book cases. It is a good site if you have the patience to trawl through the listings.

    HSE contract awarded to most expensive tender from Arthur Cox

    Agree of course RonanC that value for money should be important which of course does not necessarily mean the cheapest. But in this case the IT have said that there was a very marginal difference between the bidders in their marking at the end of the tender so presumably the other bidder is...

    HSE contract awarded to most expensive tender from Arthur Cox

    For sure Staples, you need to know the detail of the process but according to the Irish times the difference in scoring between 1st and second was 5 points out of possible max of 1000 - does that justify a significantly higher cost? Would like to know what that difference in cost is..

    HSE contract awarded to most expensive tender from Arthur Cox

    [broken link removed] I am not a lawyer and do not work for the HSE and I sure that there was a complicated bidding process that we are not privy to but it does smack of plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose - people on boards getting awarded contracts, higest bidder wins... I wonder what...

    Hired 3y ago as sen mgr in large co. Demotion & constructive dismissal?

    + 1 for lomonds advice - if you make no effort to put your employer on notice of your grievance, and give them an opportunity to address same, it could be very hard to win a constructive dismissal case.

    My employer has just been taken over (by asset purchase) and TUPE does not apply.

    I presume you mean that the company itself has been bought out and that you are still employed by the same limited company? But that it now has different owners? In that case TUPE does not apply but existing contractual terms, written or unwritten, still apply and you are under no obligation...

    Redundancy - employer didnt notify

    If his accountant will make a written submission to the department of enterprise trade and innovation (DETI) that he cannot afford the statutory redundancy, it will be paid by a fund in the department. (question 1 - )
