Legal Advice Direct: FAQ
Q. INSOLVENCY & BANKRUPTCY LAW:
Do you owe someone money and are unable to pay because you do not have enough money or assets? Is the person taking you to court as a result? Have you been served with a bankruptcy petition? Are you a company facing financial difficulties? Or does someone owe you money and cannot pay? Would you be interested in taking them to court and declaring them bankrupt if need be?
If X owes Y money and is unable to pay because he does not have sufficient money or assets, X may end up being declared Bankrupt in a Bankruptcy court. Bankruptcy occurs when someone is unable to pay their debts. The situation can also affect companies, although the term used is liquidation. Through this website, you can obtain advice and representation in court.

Q. NEGLIGENCE/PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE:
Did you employ someone such as a surveyor, architect, lawyer, engineer or accountant to do some work for you and do you think they have been unreasonably careless in the manner in which they have carried out the work? Did they give you wrong advice? Did you see a Doctor who gave you wrong advice or prescribed you something he or she should not have? Did someone cause you injury in a car accident or did you suffer financial loss as a result? These are just a few examples covered by the law of negligence. It is known as a tort and sometimes is committed with other torts such as trespass* to land or nuisance. Nuisance, for instance, could occur when someone is preventing you from enjoying your property, say if you have a neighbour who is constantly playing loud music or someone is causing dust or fumes to enter your house.
Certain relationships give rise to a legal duty such that carelessness on the part of one person that causes damage to another may result in a right to bring a claim against that person, and through this site you could obtain help if you have experienced any of the above.
* Trespass to land occurs when someone or an object comes unto your property without your permission, although there are a few exceptions such as a post man delivering mail.
