How to help a school that has been closed
Have you tried to configure Moodle? What makes you think you need to be an expert? I've installed it an am playing about with it. Doesn't seem any more difficult than the likes of SharePoint, Jira, Jenkins, Goolge Apps, Adwords, Google Analytics, etc. It's users, roles, groups, assets... -

How to help a school that has been closed
Thanks, I'll take a look at Google Classroom. I do not underestimate the laws and regulations around schools and data sharing. I will leave that to the leadership team. I just want to make them aware that there are these things out there. They can decide whether to use them or not. I've just... -

How to help a school that has been closed
Not a contracting question, but one for the IT 'professionals' out there. Schools in Hong Kong and Japan have closed, and I would not be surprised if a similar thing happen here. As a parent of primary school children I was wondering if there was something I could do now to help our school... -

If deemed inside IR35 - will that decision also apply to previous time at client?
Apologies if this has already been asked. If I have been contracting with (end client) Big Corp for X years and let's say in April 2020 the end client deems me to be inside of IR35. Will HMRC then say "OK, as they now consider you to be inside IR35, we will also consider that you have been...- schater

Boundary dispute resolution options
Yes a new fence, on the _correct_ boundary (e.g. straight). When we first brought it up with them (fence not on boundary) they looked at us as if we were speaking a foreign language. What could be wrong they said? They said that the fence is where it was when they bought, and when we bought and... -

Boundary dispute resolution options
Ideally we would like the fence to be in a straight line (from corner to corner), as is every other boundary like this between houses around us, and as shown in the title deeds for both our houses. This would give us extra room up the side of our house. -

Boundary dispute resolution options
More than 10 years. But we bought from probate as the chap who owned this house passed away, and that can be one reason to reject an application for Adverse Possession. -

Boundary dispute resolution options
Sorry for the late reply to your comments. Do you have any idea or experience of what these can come to? -

Boundary dispute resolution options
Both of our title deeds shows a boundary similar to this - straight - between number 19 and 21. And like in the image, the T is on their side of the fence. But this is the actual line of the fence: I am in number 19. The 'step' happens where our side gates are, and so is not obvious on the... -

Boundary dispute resolution options
Yes and so far it has been civil. But we clearly disagree about the law on boundaries, and they are not going to do anything (they are responsible for that fence) without being forced to, and lose land. -

Boundary dispute resolution options
Nothing specific to contractors, but just wondering if any of you learned folk can help me out ... We have a boundary dispute with our neighbour. I am told that it is recommended to attempt to use dispute resolution services before going down the legal route. Apparently courts do not look... -

Can I sue a company for making me lose billable time
You have all given me lots to think about. Thank you. Great suggestion! I've just asked the CFA for a copy of their Code of Conduct. I have considered a site exactly like that! I'll continue to mull it over. End goal was, and still is really, to get our floor fixed. But now I don't want the...- schater

Can I sue a company for making me lose billable time
After all your help, I thought you deserved an update. I didn't expected this outcome ... Social media certainly got this case moving along (yes you were all right!). After posting on social media about how rubbish their product was, the manufacturer finally tells us on the phone that we will...- schater

Can I sue a company for making me lose billable time
Thank you all for your comments and your many valid points. A few of you suggest focusing on fixing the floor, including getting an independent source. I have found a few flooring experts who seem to specialise in flooring disputes, and my plan is to use one of these to create a report and...- schater

Can I sue a company for making me lose billable time
Hello, This isn't really an IT question, but I am a contractor, and this is to do with me losing billable time. So I know this is a long shot ... but hopefully someone can help with advice. I had new flooring installed at home, and all seemed fine so I paid. After moving in, I realised a...- schater
