  • Christmas Jumper Day 2022

    Christmas Jumper Day 2022

    We had a Christmas Jumper/Silly Santa Day on Thursday 8th December.

    Can guess who is in the christmas tree?

  • Landlord possesions claims increased 160% from April to June 2022

    According to figures published by the Ministry of Justice for the period April to June 2022 landlord possession claims have increased 160% from 6,997 to 18,201.

    There has been a significant increase in section 21 evictions, the so-called “no fault” possession claim compared to figures taken in 2019. This could be influenced by previous government proposals to abolish section 21 at an undetermined future point.

    With the recession coupled with the cost of living crisis it might mean that tenants may not be able to keep with their rent payments which may see a further increase in possession claims being made.

    As landlord, you have the right to evict a tenant and take back possession of your property if they fail to pay rent or violate their tenancy agreement, or in the event that you simply want to take back the property without any fault by the tenant.

    Our solicitors will quickly and efficiently put your case together and act on your behalf. Call John Porter or Shalish Mehta on 0161 624 6811or email jap@wrigleyclaydon.com or sm@wrigleyclaydon.com. We can advise you on the appropriate course of action and assist with any legal documents or proceedings that may occur.

  • Making Child Care Arrangements for the Festive Period

    Christmas and New Year should be joyous and a happy time, however, unfortunately for divorced and separated parents it can be an extremely difficult time. The question of where and how their children will spend their time with each parent can cause tension and overshadow the enjoyment of this time of year.

    Here at Wrigley Claydon, we would like to share our top tips regarding child arrangements during Christmas and New Year:

    • Communication is key

    Attempt to openly and amicably agree a suitable arrangement that works best for both of you.  Although sometimes it can be difficult, aim to be fair to your partner. Try to put yourself in their shoes and see if you would be happy with the arrangements that you proposed.

     

    • Keep your children as the focus

    It is easy to for your own wishes to cloud your judgement, however, it is important to keep your child’s best interests at heart and ensure their happiness is put first. Talk positively around them and be open with them regarding plans, this will help make them feel safe and secure.

     

    • Stick to your arrangement

    Once you have made a plan that works for everyone it is important to stick to it. Last minute changes in plans can cause feelings of uneasiness and disruption for children. Although, flexibility is always required when dealing with childcare arrangements, stability is also just as important. You must find a balance.

     

    • Get professional advice

    At Wrigley Claydon we understand that this time of year is particularly turbulent when attempting to co-parent. Therefore, if you are struggling to make childcare arrangements take advice from one of our experienced family solicitors who will assist you in negotiating an agreement that works for all parties.

     

    If you require legal assistance don’t hesitate to contact us on 0161 624 6811, where a member of our family law department will be happy to help you through this particularly hectic and difficult time.

  • Apple faces £768m collective action for ‘throttling’ iPhones

    Consumer rights campaigner, Justin Gutmann has filed a claim against Apple in the Competition Appeal Tribunal in London on behalf of up to 25 million UK iPhone users who used any of 10 different models of iPhone, from the iPhone 6 through to the iPhone X (and including the iPhone SE).

    He is accusing the Apple of abusing its market dominance to engage in exploitative and unfair commercial practices when it misled iPhone users by applying a power management software update, first released in January 2017 in iOS 10.2.1, that throttled the performance of affected devices. It had the effect of slowing the processor’s speed at peak performance

    He is seeking damages worth a total of £768 million. Affected UK consumers do not need to actively sign up to be part of the litigation (although they would need to provide their details at a later date if the claim succeeds and they wish to receive their portion of any damages.

    Apple has already faced litigation over iPhone performance ‘throttling’ claims in France and Italy.
