    Yes, of course, OWG. I was simply explaining to anyone who wants to see it, the typical reason why there is a seven day reference... :)

    Payment - meaning of the term 'to date'

    The point at which the invoice is issued is the point in time where you know the work done and for which you are invoicing. The seven days is allowed for time to pass the invoice to the debtor/customer, for them to presumably post it onto their system, and to raise a cheque/arrange BACS payment...

    Starting a Ltd company whilst employed

    I should have added, there is nothing to stop you preparing to start in business on your own account whilst still employed - just as there would be nothing to stop you preparing a CV with a view to going out to find a new job etc. However, you have to draw a line between preparation and...

    Starting a Ltd company whilst employed

    Hi Yes, you have answered your question. Even though you may be able to "devise" approaches and arguments to suggest that you are not infringing the clause in your contract, the fact is that your intent is clear, and you are likely to fall foul of the contract. Essentially, what your employer...

    You should be aware that if your actions amount to a breach of contract the other party may not only deactivate your account, but they may sue you for damages for breach of contract.

    statutory demand

    The point of a statutory demand is to evidence insolvency in the case of a non-paying debtor. Where no payment is made after 21 days from the date of service you can then present a petition for the debtor's bankruptcy - however, to do this the debt has to be not less than £750. By generously...

    Employment Appeal Tribunal

    Government certificatess (whatever they are) are simply (perhaps) one factor. The fact that the judge/tribunal made findings about your conduct is (conceivably) because they took other factors into account as well. Government certificates merely prove that government certificates exist - they...

    Leased Equipment Taken By Landlord

    Clearly you may have a right of action against the LL, and possibly against the leasing company (there is not enough information here to be clear at this stage), so then you have to consider the commercial position; that is to say you have to determine how much money you have lost as if it is...
