My solicitor has sent a response rejecting the claims. I've done a bit of further digging and lo and behold the guy who’s claiming from me is a director of an Electrics company. Taking into account Caveat Emptor surely he’s in a better position than most to realise where there are electrical... -

Sold House...now they want to sue me

Working without contract.

Swine Flu - Sickness Protection
Hi all, Longtime lurker here, go easy on me. I was wondering what people have in place by way of short-term sickness insurance. I’m aware of the critical insurance policies generally flogged around the market place, but are there firms out there that will insure you for a temporary period out...
