Now, i was brought up with the Highway Code where must/must not are covered by Act of Parliamant and should/should not are 'advisory' So if i park on a pedestrian crossing, its a must not and i get done, no chance of a caution, and if you are a naughty boy and do it again you will be done, now toddle along'

So the Companies Act 2006 also has these MUST sections and specifically carries a fine. I have been onto the Breaches Section that deals with this and have given them irrefutable proof of breaches in S32/S117/S324/S324A/S325/S326 so in effect bang to rights.
Their response?

'We will write to them to tell them to buck up their ideas and if they do it again......'

However you can pursue a private prosecution under S944

WTF is this? Why should i spend my money on something that is covered by an Act of Parliament

Who the hell goes after the law breakers of this Act?
It seems that Companies can get away with any offence using this logic. Now i am going to write to the Complaints and my MP not that it will get me anywhere,but just to point out that if you were caught speeding at 60mph in a 30 limit would you expect a caution?
Justice.No such thing.

Any proper company type solicitor people on hers can comment?

Err I am NOT a corporate lawyer, but did work closely with some a few years back when we did a merger/ acquisition/ restructure.

TBH I am glad that tax payer funds are not being used to sort out squabbles between members of a company.

I am not trying to be an arse, but if I was feeling this way about a company that I am a member of, I would be getting onto a GOOD corporate lawyer ASAP not writing to an MP.

Can someone translate?

Whats the beef with your company Op?

I must say I am gutted that every something for nothing employee or prospective employee now has to think twice before trying it on/launching a unfair dismissal case.

He's asked this question/ raised this a few times before. And been given an accurate answer. More than once.

Like all good dogs with a bone though, he resolutely refuses to listen to the answers he's asked for in favour of continuing a rather pointless secret squirrel rant.

File under "politely ignore".

This is a civil matter not a criminal matter. You need to take advice from a corporate lawyer, but that will cost.
