  3. She isn't sure. She wasn't notified at the time. When she queried it ,he apparently slipped somewhere in the garden. Thanks for responding
  4. Thanks. This is a small village and the Garden Firm is long standing. My sister engages the firm, not the individuals who have changed regularly over the past 10 years..
  5. So what is the purpose of the liability section of house insurance policies? If my sister deals with this privately through courts are the insurers then liable for any awards to OP
  6. She doesn't know. She wasn't advised of an incident at the time -June/July 2015. Late summer 2015.- September, I think, the owner of the gardening firm asked her if she had had a letter from a solicitor. She said "no- what for?" He said oh he must be going through my insurance. That was that. No complaint about a danger in the garden, no suggestion of any danger. He has worked on her garden for 10 years plus. Friday a week ago she got Solicitors letter- no details of injury or circumstances - just forward to your insurers. She is very stressed to find her public liability insurance doesn't seem to be her safety net.
  7. The insurers haven't made any investigations regarding the incident. They don't know what happened. She could have had a bear pit in her garden. They aren't interested in the circumstances. Straightforward " nothing to do with us"
  8. Sorry, for not replying sooner. Very ill 91 year old mother as well. My sister knew nothing of the incident. I read the solicitors letter. It's the usual " on or about" an injury occurred. You are liable. Forward this letter to your insurers. She did. They said they don't offer cover for such an incident. It's up to the employers own liability insurance . She doesn't understand why the claim has arrived with her as she also thought this reputable gardening firm who have continued to maintain her garden , with no warning of danger, would have insurance to cover this.
  9. My sister received a letter this week from a solicitor advising that their client will be seeking recompense for an injury which he suffered in June 2015. This was the first she knew of the injury.. she uses an established gardening firm and this person was one of his employees. As instructed by the solicitor she passed the letter to her house buildings and contents insurers. They have declined outright to deal with the matter. They say there is no cover for such matters but her policy includes public liability. They say it's the gardening firm who should deal with it. Any advice
  10. Not sure if any of you following this still--it has indeed been quiet. Just to let you know and in case anyone else is suffering as I did, the manager is now currently being investigated by his superiors after the most senior staff member in his area resigned telling the powers that be just how hopeless this guy is. He was extremely successful personally in the company , to the extent that both the Managing Director and the Sales Manager phoned him to beg him to stay--they offered him whatever he wanted but he refused citing the BULLY as one of the reasons. He highlighted the favouritism, the bullying and actually asked what the bully actually did!!!!!!!!! Bully is now backpeddling furiously-conducting 1:1 with his sales force and handing over unearned credit to those he is trying to schmooze!!!We suspect he is the subject of a capability hearing himself so my advice is keep going-be clever and hang on. Out of his 9 Sales Force 6 refused to give him a 360 feedback which combined with the most senior sales leaving seems to be the beginning of the bully's downfall. Will keep you posted
  11. had 1to1 with his yesterday -first thing he said was the account transfers-- that's that. No waiting for appeal. We had further conversation and he then told me he could make my life a misery by managing me in such a fashion --weekly call reports--evaluations which I would fail and then he would get rid of me if he wished. Got an email this morning 6.51am -I was cc'd-- advising other colleague that account was transferring immediately. This gave me a problem as I had technicians booked to visit today. What to do? If I went ahead I was in direct contravention of his instructions -if I didnt go I would annoy the clients. I phoned him and he told me not to be ridiculous--he meant 1st October. That was immediate!! He is really keen to make my life a misery
  12. Thanks honeybee--he is now visiting my area without telling me and I think quietly visiting my accounts alone. What comes next?
  13. Thanks for your advice. I was slow in responding because to be honest your story terrified me. I didnt know if I could continue as you have done. Anyway--result of grievance now in -not good. Independent manager has criticised the new managers management skills but still says the account must go. The ageism has been swept under the carpet by saying I agreed to publication . I asked him to change the words-he wouldnt so what could I do. Am now in the process of taking legal advice. He is still undermining me. Dealing directly with my accounts, without reference to me and cancelling meetings /calls at the last minute. I know I had no choice but to challenge him but boy oh it is hard m
  14. The reason for refusing my grievance. I do not own the accounts They have engaged someone to predict my accounts for this year and I will apparently hit target whereas my colleague will fall far short so he is to be given my main account to help him balance. Thsi has never been custom or practice in my company and the balancing is only taking part between us. Not between all sales people. I did not change my managers words about me in the company magazine therefore I accepted them. His comments about my colleague being the best are not intimidating nor insulting nor derogatory I am appealing the decision so any advice folks?
  15. well I got e results and they were not in my favour
