Nah, I was honest that there are situations when people might not be able to stop, you lied that you would always be able to stop, no matter the situation

A strict liability penalty of say having to wear a tag for 6 months, for being caught carrying a knife. Applicable to kids/teenagers, rather than a referral to the YOT, whom dont really do much.

Reason, so that police can use the info provided by the tag, ie location and timings of such to build up a case, if the said person is recorded as being in the same location and time of a fatal stabbing.

Just a thought !

That would require 2 law changes. Currently the tag that records where someone is, is voluntary, not court ordered.

Apparently it's a breach of human rights knowing exactly where someone is at all times. Hence why most phones and computers have cookies and tracking softwear.

We have a right to privacy.

The law tries to balance that with other interests.

But fundamentally we are free to do as please without interference in our lives.

Someone summed it up as thus:

We can do whatever we want, except that which is prohibited by Parliament.

A public body, or a public official, can do nothing, except that which Parliament empowers them to do.

Well there are two parts, one is the sentiment that they probably object to, but the second is the practicality. There isn't a single set of firearms laws across the US, there is a mixture of federal, state and local laws. For example you probably wouldn't want California's firearm laws.

Are you serious? A law that says you can rent out a property that is not fit to be lived in? How is that a good thing?

Honestly, its true! I studied Law and covered all the 7 areas required by the SRA for a Law degree, one area being Land Law,Equity and Trusts. Its an extremelly complexed area of Law as it kinda works on a parrallel level with Contractual agreements also. (Hence why if its contractually agreed to, then its all good lol it could be a shit hole in theory).

Bare in mind that most courses/modules can/do provide a succint overview of such. In the Legal Module of Land Law,Equity and Trusts all they actually say is that it is akin to a Jigsaw Puzzle ... lol

PS.... i aced it

What is your point? I don't understand what you are saying.

The point was - Is the law requiring a rental property to be habitable - i.e. fit for someone to live in, a good one?

Only for purposes of Gas Safety/Electrical fixtures... but the rest can be a shit hole tbh

Land Law is nothing to do with it! They don't teach you that in Land Law!

And if you think that the Environmental Health Department of the Council can only issue enforcement notices for gas appliances and the like, then you are seriously mistaken.

Missing handrails, ill-fitting windows, inadequate kitchen, inadequate heating are all things that they can insist on being rectified to make the house habitable.

Ok... try and enforce it in a court, when you have Contractually agreed to rent a property with no hand rails...

Its a complexed area mate, please trust me!

Trust me. You are talking nonsense.

You can put what you like in the tenancy agreement, but if the law says something else, then the law prevails.

I can put in a tenancy agreement that the tenant has to repair the gutters at the house, but the fact is that is illegal, and I can never enforce it.

In the same way, if I rent a house without a handrail on the stairs, it is not fit for human habitation, the tenant can complain to Environmental Health and they can force me to do those repairs.

Sorry you are wrong, but right at the same time... Grr Law is complexed. True that you or anyone can give more than that is required by Law, but not less!!! Employer or Landlord etc

So it comes down to a Contractual agreement (does it not? As i said above) if they want to give you more than the minimal requirements stipulated in the statuatory Law, they can.... but they dont have too!!!

As Long as the strict Statuatory requirements are met with, ie Gas and Electric provisions are covered etc then if a person rents a house knowingly that it has no windows even .... then its a legal contractual agreement and therefore legal... tenant would have no argument!!!

Anyway, im going to bed

You are talking absolute nonsense. Next time you want to pretend to be a lawyer, maybe read the Landlord & Tenant Act 1985. Start with Section 11.

Oh and maybe don't tell people that Landlord & Tenant Law is covered in Land Law lectures.

Oh and don't tell people that the SRA are responsible for law degrees.

Then you won't look so stupid!

SRA stipulate the required fields of Law to make up a qualifying Law Degree.

What you on about? Anyhoo have fun fella and enjoy the test of your night on Google!!!

Qualifying for what? You can take a law degree and then not become a lawyer. And what do the SRA have to do with the Bar, ILEX or Licensed Conveyancers?
