Feel the need to say well done and thank you Brendan for all work done on this. In alot of the tracker mortgage cases alot of people have gotten life changing amounts of money and adjustments to their mortgages and in most cases totally unaware that there was an issue in the first place. The...

Problem with a DIY job on the assent is that you will not know it has been done right until the property is being sold/mortgaged as the Registry of Deeds Deeds Registration is unlikely to disclose errors (if any). The costs of getting this done professionally is small in the overall context

A literal interpretation causes some concern but the spirit of this legislation is to keep employees on the payroll that would otherwise be laid off. I think it would be reasonable to judge what your position like this: Without lay offs can you continue to pay your staff? If not then are...

Sounds like all is worded to get the executives through the results phase without admitting wrong doing, you would expect more combative language if a decision to appeal was already taken or that they had been advised that they could overturn the preliminary decision

I have yet to see the paper work for the AIB panel but they usually cap the limit for compensation for these panels which is satisfactory for people in extreme cases

The only way to put pressure on AIB is for a large number to take either a case to FSO or legal action. Having assisted people in past with PTSB independent appeal panel I would not hold out much hope it assisting AIB customers (different panel I know but the similarities as to how banks have...

Good point. AIB's position on prevailing rates has huge holes in it. They claim not to have offered a prevailing rate tracker from 2008 onwards because they took tracker mortgage off the market. Problem for them is there was a tracker rate in place during those years. The recent offers of...

A prescriptive right not used or registered between 2009 and 2021 will be lost. It is possible for a prescriptive right to be lost prior to that through abandonment (or by agreement should it occur) but the onus would be on the person claiming that it was abandoned to prove it. You would need...

A costs order in court does not include PIAB costs usually

The number of cases taken against solicitors in the last few years has gone through the roof. The vast majority of those cases are taken by solicitors against solicitors. The only unwritten rule that may exist in some areas is that solicitors would not take a case against another colleague in...

OP it does take time for a party and party bill of costs to be settled. Firstly it takes time to prepare the bill of costs e.g getting invoices from all experts and other professionals such as barristers. Once a party and party bill is submitted there is always a bit of negotiating before it is...

While you may have legal recourse it would be advisable to try and make contact with the owner before taking any action. Its is always best if neighbours can come to a compromise if at all possible to keep future relations pleasant.

Something like this should have been discovered when you were buying the property. A boundary survey would have exposed it. It sounds like your solicitor may be doing a Section 49 application for you. You may not have the required 12 years yourself but you can rely on the time the previous...

Your parents to leave the property to her under their wills which probably be the most tax efficient route at present. There would be no Stamp Duty or CGT payable on inheritance and the CAT situation would be the same as a gift. However that is assuming the property remains below the CAT...

It is not uncommon for accounts or property to be discovered after the completion of an administration. This might be a matter which you may be able to resolve yourself (assuming your are the executor/administrator of the estate). It would be worth contacting the relevant company and ask them...

The Land Registry themselves admitt that their maps may not be accurate for boundaries. Since they digitalised their maps last year there have been numberous problems because the digitalisation caused some boundaries to move. I would always advise clients that as a rule of thumb the boundary on...

It might be best for you to just ask for another form and get your employer to fill it up. The PIAB assessment might not be the end of your case therefore I think it may be unwise to put it in writing that you are not claiming any further loss of earnings.

, . This is a good example of someone who should have gone to a solicitor to process their PIAB claim. The problem most lay claimants have is that they are extremely disadvantaged when dealing with Insurance Companies. The claims handlers in the insurance companies and their reps on the...

The time limits for appearances are calendar days. It is very common to look for an extension and also common to grant it as it means the case can then proceed without having to resort to Motions.

If it just as simple as that we would all be out of business!! Basically OP if the work was not completed 30 years ago then it will have to be done now and todays price will apply. If the work was done 30 years ago then the invoice should reflect this.
