Hi there, we just came back from an amber list country and now on our day 2 of 10 days quarantine which will be reduced to 5 days because we opted for a test and release. We sent the day 2 test today.

Yesterday though my father in law was rushed and admitted to hospital and he is seriously ill now and because his age (92 yrs) is at risk of dying.

Is there any way we could go back while in quarantine? Any lawyer our there who could give us any advices.

Much appreciated

Anna

I'm sorry to hear this, and I can't help with the query, but do you mean you need to go back to the country you have just travelled from?

Sorry to hear that.


No legal advice but here are links to government sites that may be useful. It may be possible for one person to get an exemption to quarantine here https://www.gov.uk/guidance/exemptions-from-managed-quarantine-for-medical-and-compassionate-reasons#compassionate-reasons. It sounds like there will need to be travel to another country so the restrictions there will also need to be checked in case they have changed since you last arrived. If you speak the language and can check the countries site, if not FCO info is here https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
