Hi all, I'm living in an apartment and have had Sky+ HD installed. The apartment block has a communal dish and each of the bedrooms in the apartment, together with the living room, has a wall jack/connection marked "satellite". The Sky installer came and ran a simple line from the satellite...

I would be very grateful to receive any recommendations for a plumber / heating specialist in the Dundrum area. I have seen vans for "Fallon Plumbing and Heating Specialists" in the area. Just wondering if anyone has has any experience of using them (good, bad or indifferent) or of using any...

He will need to fill out a Form RP6. This effectively guillotines the notice period provided for under his Form RP50 (notice of redundancy). In effect, by filling out the Form RP6, your family member can bring forward their termination date. The notice period set out in the Redundancy Payments...

eircom are currently offering free subscription to setanta sports to its broadband customers via eircom.net. Just wondering if anyone uses this service and if it is any good. I'm looking to get broadband at the moment and am likely to subscribe for setanta at some stage in the near future...

Re: Redundency if we dont move office? Check to see if your employment contract has a "mobility" clause - i.e. one that states "your normal place of work will be at X or such other location as the Company may see fit". If there is no such clause, it is fairly certain that you will be entitled...

You may be kept on a succession of fixed-term contracts for a maximum of 4 years in total - after which you may become entitled to a contract of indefinite duration. However, you also be retained on a fixed-term contract beyond 4 years if your employer can provide an objective grounds...

The employee is not being sacked. The letter is clearly a warning / improvement letter. Therefore the Unfair Dismissals Acts do not apply because there is no dismissal. However, if fair procedures have not been followed, the employee can seek to refer the issue regarding adequacy of procedures...

Mayfield05 Realistically there are three avenues open to your husband: 1: Seek to make a formal grievance within the process using the Company's own grievance procedure. If there is no such procedure, or the procedure is not being adequately followed, he could refer the matter to a Rights...

Cheers Purple, Happy to be of assistance

Diziet, The point is that any reason for their refusal to renew is irrelevant from a legal perspective. If there is an Unfair Dismissals carve-out, the employer does not have to give any reason for non-renewal bar the expiration of the term of the contract.

Sive, The previous posters have set a number of potential routes of redress. Persoanlly, I don;t think they are legally valid. These are my reasons why: Claim under Fixed Term Work Act 2003: After 4 years continuous service, under the Fixed Term Work Acts 2003, a fixed-term worker can...

Your solicitor is obliged to act on your instructions. I would advise postponing the meeting until such time as you are absolutely happy with the relevant figures. I would suggest that you should not be happy with the figures unless they have been professionally quantified. Speaking for...

MandaC, This is not your responsibility. You should instruct your solicitor to engage an acutuary to work out an approximate future loss of earnings component. There are fairly complex rules as to what expenses/estimations are allowable in the context of a personal / future loss of earnings...

Mumofthree, A few points are relevant: 1: There is no legal obligation on an employer to pay you whilst on maternity leave 2: Any payment by an employer to an employee on maternity leave, arises in 3 ways: (a) As a contractual right of the employee - set out in their individual contract of...

Whilst Greenfield is correct about the time limits within which a claim must be brought under the OWT Act, this does not answer Weston's original question. If a claim is brought within time (i.e. within six months), the Labour Court has discretion to make an award that fully recompenses the...

It is generally accepted wisdom that mortgage overpayments are, in principle, a good thing as they can knock chunks off the time it takes to repay a mortage and it cuts down on interest repayments. My query is whether, mortgage over-payments make much sense for me, where I have no intention of...

Surely it makes the entire concept of "Askaboutlaw" redundant if the original poster is steadfastly refusing to acknowledge or accept people's considered legal opinions. An opinion is just that, an opinion. There may well be merit in an argument that a person should not be prevented from...

Post the name of the relevant company on here. You will still preserve your anonymity, and there a fair likelihood that someone who works there will help you out.

The clause is entirely legitimate for many, many reasons. Firstly, it is a matter of private contract. Secondly, european law is inapplicable to private contracts. It can only confer rights on a private individual if they are opposing an act of a public body (or "emanation of the state")...

It is not illegal to ask for someone's DOB on an application form - it is illegal to discriminate against them on the basis of the information provided. In certain circumstances it may be absolutely necessary to establish someone's age - for example to ensure that there is no contravention of...
