Billy One Mate Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Laughing stock? The swipecard is the least of our worries. I disagree if this is true it must be a serious breach of security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideways Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Julie Corkill's legal bill will probably top £100K - all paid for by your taxes as she is receiving Legal Aid. First time i've commented on this but How can she be entitled to legal aid ? That is just plain wrong. Edit to say should read thread but very hard when your bottom jaw is on the floor..

The Old Git Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I'm sure MR reported that the joiner had built a treehouse for Mrs Ned's daughter? Surely not! Not only that, but a two storey tree house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Ayres Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I would have thought planning permission would be needed for a treehouse, no matter how big it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I would have thought planning permission would be needed for a treehouse, no matter how big it was. It might come under the same class as a garden shed - a temporary structure. These don't seem to need planning permission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy One Mate Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Remember when threads like this used to be pages and pages long? Now it's just FCMR bumping it himself. Way to go champ. Ans your wish is granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Who needs RSS, eh? ????? I assume you have a vague idea what RSS is, what it does, and therefore understand the meaning of my quip? If not, feel free to ask before resorting to such childish retailiation. I had you down as more astute than that. After all some folks must be under enormous pressure. I'm surprised that the commerce side of the tourist industry haven't complained about Ballacain. If it is being used for tenancy rather than tourism then the taxes they have paid to boost their tourist economy have been distributed under false pretences. Five units from £260 per week each - it's a pretty penny they are trousering NOT to boost your tourist industry. However if it is being let out to genuine tourists who regularly rotate then fair enough. So what's the scoop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripsaw Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I would have thought planning permission would be needed for a treehouse, no matter how big it was. DoLGE website doesn't have anything that jumps out of the screen about tree houses needing planning permission. I know that decking requires permission if the deck is more than 0.3m above the ground and sheds need permission if their overall height excedes 2.5m and/or their footprint excedes 15sq.m In the case of decking planning permission ensures that the deck and supports are capable of supporting itself and likely weight during regular usage. Logically these concerns would/should also apply to an elevated playhouse. In August 2005 a tree house in Church Close, Laxey was ordered to be removed because it had an "adverse effect on neighbours". The Manx Radio article opens with the words The Government has ordered that a children's tree house, built without planning permission, be dismantled.I haven't been able to find a direct reference to play/tree houses. I had you down as more astute than that. After all some folks must be under enormous pressure.PK, I was boring the pants off anyone who listened with my theories and links to Commisioners Minutes that supported the case against the Corkills when the local media were still 'umming and arghing' as to what they dare publish. I posted a comment in humour (There is a Forum test of RSS feeds going on at the moment and there have been messages that the 'New Posts' page is being swamped.. see the connection?). In 'my' opinion the response was offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lard Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 If anyone is bothered to read it, all you might need to know about Legal Aid on the Isle of Man From IoM Examiner in April this year.

Ripsaw Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Can the claim of 'receiving Legal Aid' be proven? Document (pdf): Legal Aid for Criminal Matters. Edited: Use the above link for the full version Legal Aid for criminal matters is designed to financially assist members of the public who have been charged with a criminal offence and are unable to afford the services of an Advocate. To determine whether or not an applicant is financially eligible the appropriate officer will complete a means test in which sources of income and expenditure/outgoings are considered. INCOME Earnings: Applicants must supply wage slips for the last three months/12 weeks, these are averaged out over a year to give a weekly sum. Spouse earnings - as above. State Benefits: the weekly amount received is sought e.g. unemployment benefit, child benefit etc. Money from Property: the weekly amount (before deductions) of money from a letting house, flat or rooms. Any other Income: details and weekly amounts sought. Capital and Savings: Property: If house is owned - approximate selling price and amount of any outstanding mortgage: Savings: Details of savings, amounts. To include money in any bank, building society, National Savings, cash, stocks and shares and any other investments. Items of Value: Details required of any article of value that applicant owns (e.g. jewelley, furs, paintings) and their approx. value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian rush Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 if it goes the distance Julie Corkill's legal bill will probably top £100K - all paid for by your taxes as she is receiving Legal Aid. ..and why is she receiving Legal Aid??? THE LOOPHOLE You don't have to meet any financial conditions to qualify for Advocacy Assistance, except if it's a prison hearing. The other type of help is called Representation. It covers representation by a solicitor and, if necessary, by a barrister in criminal cases.You'll usually get help with representation in a criminal case, as long as it's in the interests of justice that you are legally represented. This means, for example.if you are likely to go to prison or lose your job if you are convicted. Representation does not cover minor offences such as motoring offences. Your financial circumstances will not be taken into account when deciding whether you qualify for Representation. However, if your case goes to the Crown Court, you could be ordered to pay towards the costs of Representation if the judge believes this would be reasonable. Your financial circumstances will be taken in account when deciding if it is reasonable for you to pay. Who needs RSS, eh? ????? You really are a daft cunt.
