  1. Just a quick one. I work in IT doing web application development. A client wants a website created, which is a system that compares a type of product, and requires a big database of said products. The client had us sign an NDA before they revealed their idea. The issue is, I have been speaking to a relative about this exact same idea before the client told us about it, I even have a database of the products already built, all in my own time. I worked many hours on research and building servers to support it. I showed my boss the work I have already done on it, and I get the impression that hes now more excited that I already have what they need for the project and it will save us time. I don't want to give up the work I've already put in to this, since I still see it as our idea. Q1. Can I charge my boss/client for the work I've already done? Is this a good idea? Q2. Can my boss just get me to do this work again during office hours and then the company will own the rights to it? Q3. Should I expect problems if I went ahead with my plan, since we signed an NDA already? Q4. How can I protect the idea without them claiming we stole the clients idea?

Enjoy its true meaning, and remember
  3. Well well what a surprise !!!! . For a full copy of the article...please see the link at the end of this post...... COUNCIL bosses are under pressure to investigate a possible conflict of interest after it emerged the company that hands out council tax benefit is also in charge of bailiffs that chase unpaid rates. Capita Group have an £11.5million annual contract to manage various services on behalf of Westminster, including collecting council tax and providing advice to residents who apply for reduced rates. When residents fall behind on council tax, private bailiffs are employed to pursue the debt. But unbeknown to them, Equita Ltd, one of the bailiff companies used by Westminster, are owned by Capita Group. It has led to claims of a “pincer movement” against residents as those who are unable to pay full council tax or think they qualify for an exemption have to contact Capita to put their case. If people are unsuccessful, and fail to keep up payments, their debt will pursued by bailiffs who include Equita. Capita say there is no conflict because both contracts were secured after a “rigorous and competitive tender process”. http://www.westendextra.com/news/2013/aug/call-probe-%E2%80%98bailiffs-and-tax-collector%E2%80%99-link
  4. My flatmate and I have been living together for over a year now. Relationship between us has deteriorated and I am moving on (found a new place). She agreed to pay the full amount for the deposit when we moved in including rent for both upon her move from Paris to London. We were friends at first and agreed I will transfer my share to her account. I waited for her to open a UK bank account in the meantime and used the money I had to transfer her to pay the bills as she did not have a bank account at first. I waited 3 months and eventually paid my share of rent (for 1st month when we moved in) about 4 months later. I was on a low income and she knew it was difficult for me to pay other bills while I had to wait for her to open a bank account and told me not to worry about the deposit. I had told her several times that I don’t have the money for my share of the deposit and she told me it is fine.14 months later, our relationship got to a point where we don't talk to each other at all just financials (bills) over emails. We got to this stage as she is very controlling and I had enough of it so told her that living with her was a struggle. She then threatens me to sue if I don’t pay back my share of the deposit. I gave my notice and told her I would leave after a year. She said fine and said she will keep the flat to herself. I then had to postpone my leave even though I had given my notice. 2.5 months later, I found another place and told her I would leave. She then said I cannot leave as I am still on the contract. I was in shock because I had asked her a lot of times previously if she had signed the renewal agreement and she said yes, she even described the terms.Because things are worse now, she now threatens to sue for not paying her my share of the deposit. I told her this is short notice and in the past she told me it is fine for not paying it. I mentioned if after check out we incur any damages I will be held liable for it too. I made that in writing.Does she have a case? Please help.
  5. Hi all, someone i know has asked me for advice and i'm not 100% sure where i stand so thought i'd see what you think. This friend has worked for company A for 8 years, good service overall. They sell as part of their range "bananas" but these "bananas" now are kind of out of fashion and no longer contribute a significant amount to the business, in fact they dont even put employees there to sell these "bananas" recently this friend decided to set up his own "banana" shop online, and was doing reasonably well. However company A have found out and accused him of stealing their stock of "bananas" until they provided the employer with invoices to prove their stock was not stolen. Now they have come down with the fact that there is a conflict of interest and are issuing disciplinary proceedings against the employee. Now i was wondering, as there is a conflict of interest, what advice there could be. Also i might point out that in their contract there is a clause that states that they cannot work outside of this employment without their managers permission. Which then strikes me as odd why they have not just disciplined them for breech of contract rather than this conflict of interest. Anything from anyone? I'm not looking for basic advice here! As i know the basics surrounding their employment, more advice on whether they can demand the invoices, whether this is a conflict of interest, if so - what can be defended and what cannot, and any reasons they havent gone down the breech of contract route? thanks
