Kent Solicitors

Did you know that it is against the law to ride or push a motorbike from the road to your house front garden or parking space unless you already have an authorised driveway and dropped kerb?

An article in the Sunday Express on 1st November, advises that a Mr Morris of Bristol, has been told it is illegal to push the 400lb motorcycle across the pavement to its parking space, and that he must carry the bike or face prosecution! Inspector Colin Salmon of Avon & Somerset Police said “No one should push a motor vehicle on a footpath. If a person wants access to their property they must get planning permission for a driveway and a dropped kerb”.

So if you need to park on your front garden, either a car or a motorbike, you must obtain planning permission from your local authority for the drive and authority from the local highways department for a dropped kerb – to park legally.

The Effective Date of Termination is a critical concept within employment law - not least because certain time limits run from it - most notably the 3 months within which you must issue your application

If a buyer fails to complete the purchase of land, then the seller forfeits the deposit.

The seller will also claim damages for the losses arising, for example, in a falling market, the difference between the contractual sale price agreed and the eventual sale price

That remedy will be useless if the buyer is a SPV with no other assets
