In the UK, there is no legal requirement to provide a warranty, extended warranty, or guarantee when selling electrical goods to consumers. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (CRA 2015) lays out statutory remedies available to consumers for breach of their statutory rights, which includes: • the short-term right to reject the goods (see CRA 2015, ss 20 and 22) within the first 30 days from the date of delivery (see CRA 2015, s 22(3)). The reverse burden of proof (as set out in CRA 2015, s 19(14)) does not apply here, so the customer must prove the fault existed at the time of delivery

The relevant legislation does not provide for a special statutory limitation period that applies to a claim against a council for overpayment of business rates. Therefore, if the issue is pure debt recovery (due to a straightforward overpayment) then the standard six-year limitation will apply. If there has been an overpayment of rates as a result of an incorrect valuation, the following information on the appeals process may be relevant. Our Practice Note: National non-domestic rates provides some general practical guidance on this topic, and

The Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995 (LT(C)A 1995) controls the liability of former tenants and their guarantors for rent and service charge after assignment of a lease. A landlord may recover ‘fixed charges’ from a former tenant or its guarantor only if: • the former tenant remains liable due to privity of contract or because it has given an authorised guarantee agreement (in the case of new tenancies), and • the landlord has given notice under LT(C)A 1995, s 17 within six months of the date on which the charge became due LT(C)A 1995, s 17 relates to fixed charges which

There is no positive legal obligation within the statutory framework for illegal working for an employer to report to the Home Office where they suspect or discover that an employee, or ex-employee, does/did not have the right to work. For details of that framework, see Practice Notes: Right to work checks: when and why and Illegal workers—civil and criminal sanctions.
