    Probate and Executors

    No I didn't the person that died was a family friend and it would have meant extra cost. I have since taken legal advice but not got all that far with it, the executors of the will just ignore everything I, or the solicitor sends them. He believes that the lease isn't worth the paper it's...

    Probate and Executors

    I've leased a pub from the executors of a will, but think that something dodgy is going on because they gave me the lease prior to being granted probate. I've been in the pub for 5 months but only recently found out that probate wasn't given to them till June this year. I've been asked to pay...

    Employee Theft

    Thanks to everyone that posted on my query. I've told all the staff about the problem and banned them from drinkiing during work, which was acceptable with the previous employer, I've made them issue receipts, I've also banned them from the premises whilst on their day off. Plus I also have CCTV...

    Employee Theft

    I've already tried to catch them by putting in control systems on the tills and the way they serve people, but I can't stand at the side of them 24/7. They've been employed by the previous owner for over 5 years each. Looking at the accounts and the GP the business gets, it's being going on for...

    Employee Theft

    I have recently taken over a business which employs 4 people and have taken them on under the TUPE agreement. I'm now 4 months down the line and find that one or all of them are thieving from the business, but I can't prove which one, or how many of them. Can I get rid of all of them and start...

    Watchdog BBC Pontins

    I work for Britannia Hotels, part of the group that controls Pontins, I can say that as far as PR is concerned they don't have a clue and I spend most of my time answering complaint letters. They have a large turn over of staff and screw everything down to a minimum cost. They don't like branded...

    Legal Protest

    I was operating a business under a licence agreement on a holiday park for 4 years, the first 3 years being 8 months of the year and the final year being 12 months. Prior to the final year I was told by the operators that they were more than happy with the way I operated the franchise and they...

    TUPE-Notice period required

    I took a lease for a pub from a main brewery and had to take all the staff on that they had employed, however the business did not work out and we handed the lease back to the brewery. They intially told me that they would put in a holding company and take the staff on, which was considerably...

    Seasonal Lease

    I operate a club on a holiday park which I have had a seasonal franchise lease for 3 seasons, which in ran from March to November. However, the park is now open 12 months of the year and my seasonal lease is now for 12 months, would this change things? Would I have any entitlement to a have the...

    Sky Business

    So if the young lady wins the European court case, then Sky would have no case to say 'exclusive rights to Premiership football, because you will be able to buy it in cheaper than the price that they charge? If Sky win, then all the publicans in the country showing illegal broadcasts will be...

    Sky Business

    I haven't got a clue! Sky appear to be happy to take your money, provide a service and then do nothing when you have a problem created by them. In my lease it states that if I carry out illegal operations on the premises it would jepordise my lease and licence, but the pub company will not do...

    Sky Business

    So really all the jargon that Sky use, such as 'exclusive rights to Premiership football' is a lie and to say that they will protect my investment is also a lie? So I could in fact seek a course of action for false advertising? So really I could sell cocaine as well as a pint to enhance my...

    Sky Business

    I took out a contract with SKY TV Business for the public house I took over in December 2009. I could only take out a 12 month contract because that's all they do. The 2 closest pubs to mine both had Sky Tv, but one had been closed for a number of months and the other had illegal foreign...

    Seasonal Lease

    I run a club on a holiday park and usually have a contract signed before I commence the season in March. This year there are new park owners and a new contract has just been given to me to sign. The contract is not what was discussed at the begining of the year, I have spoken and sent letters to...
