When my father remarried in 1997, his new wife moved into our family home. At dad’s wishes, she continued to live in the house after he died in 2019. When our stepmother went into a nursing home with dementia earlier this year, I expected the family home would be sold to fund her care, and my sister and I would share the remaining proceeds after her death. However, my sister has confessed that dad made the house over to her before he died.

My mother was hospitalised after seeing her GP due to heart problems. She had been diagnosed with heart failure a couple of years ago but when she saw her GP her symptoms were severe and an ECG carried out at the surgery was abnormal.

During lockdown we allowed our staff to work from home, to ensure the business remained viable and jobs were protected. Post pandemic, several staff members wanted to continue working from home and we agreed they could.

We foresee there will be objections to this. Can employees refuse to comply?

I run a small manufacturing business that started in my garden workshop with one 3D printer. Now there are four of us in two garden workshops.

From a legal perspective, what are the pros and cons?

I read about the new legislation relating to sexual harassment in the workplace and the new duty on employers to prevent it happening. As an employer I am keen to comply as I understand it could cost me dearly because there will be no cap on the compensation that could be awarded. However, what I read did not make clear what I need to do to fulfill my new duty. 

I have seen a lot on the news about the Prison Capacity Crisis and various things the Government are planning to do to ease it. However, there is so much different stuff being bandied about in the papers and other media that I’m really confused about whether my partner stands a chance of being released early.
