You and the Law

My daughter has worked at a private nursery for over 12 months. About a fortnight ago she had to take two days off sick. She phoned in before 9am on the first day, but when she received her wages the following week she was informed she wouldn’t be paid for the two days she was off.

We bought a new car a fortnight ago at a cost of £17,000 and it has now spent its fifth day at the dealers being repaired. Do we have to put up with this?

My son divorced after a marriage lasting only a year. He still has contact with his daughters, but finds that they are known locally by his ex-wife’s maiden name and have been enrolled at the infant school in her name too.
There has been no court application about this. Is there anything he can do?

Our parents lived apart for many years, although they were not divorced. Of the three sons, one kept in touch with father while the other two kept in touch with mother.

My elderly mother and father own their house. They have always suggested that when they die the house will be divided between me and my two brothers. However in recent years they have signed as guarantors for loans my brothers have taken out for their business.

I work for a subsidiary of a multinational company. We were told that reorganisation was taking place, but our jobs were safe until next December. We’ve now been told that our office will close by September.
