A positive update from Southwark Council - “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.“ -
A solicitor is acting as the executor for our late Aunt's will. He only communicates by letter which is greatly lengthening the process. The vast majority of legal people deal by modern means - the Electronic Communications Act that allows for much, if not all of these means is now 25 years old. Any views and advice out there? In fuller detail: The value of the estate is not high. There are a number of beneficiaries including one in the US. It has taken almost three years and there is no end in sight. The estate (house) is now damp, mouldy and wall paper falling off the wall. The solicitor is hostile, has threatened beneficiaries the police (which would just waste the police's time), and will not engage constructively. He only communicates by letter. These are poorly written, curt or even hostile, in a language from the middle of last century, he clearly is typing these himself probably on a type writer. Of course with every letter he makes more money. We've taken the first steps to complain either through the ombudsman and/or the SRA. We have taken legal advice a couple of times, which of course isn't cheap, and were told that his behaviour is shocking and we'd be in our right to have him removed through the courts. But.... we just want him to get on with executing the will, primarily selling the house. However he refuses to use any other form of communication but letter. So writing to the beneficiary in the 'States can take a month to get a reply. And even in this country a week or more. Having worked with lawyers in the past I am aware that email, tele and video conferencing and even text and WhatApp are appropriate means for communication. There could be an immediate response to his questions. Help! -
Labour should be applauded for bringing in the Renter's Rights Act. But so many of you are carried away with slagging them off. Married couples with busy lives sometimes forget who did what. On this occasion Mr Rachel Reeves was sorting out the rental agreement. Ms Reeves was a bit flumoxed with all the grief/demonsing/witch hunts she is getting so forgot to check with her other half. Not the first or last time this will happen with couples. (That's not having a go at the post above)
