The Difficulty Of Knowing The Law
The news that Baroness Scotland had employed a housekeeper who was working illegally in the UK came as something of a surprise. When you consider that she was working in government when the law was introduced, which required every employer to check the credentials of a prospective employee, and she advises government on matters of law you would expect that she of all people would not fall foul of the law
.
She may well have believed she had complied with the law by checking documents before employing this person but the fact that someone as knowledgeable about the law can make an error such as this shows how complicated modern life has become. We are all expected to follow the rule of law but these days there are so many laws and most of us have only the vaguest idea of what their requirements are.
Many people would not consider consulting a solicitor for fear of huge charges but the free community legal advice service offers a telephone helpline offering free legal advice on 0845 345 4345 for anyone on benefits or living on a low income. They offer advice on a range of legal issues but also offer a variety of leaflets and factsheets that might benefit many people who do not fall within the scope of the free legal advice service.
The website offers a lot of useful information and the leaflets cover a range of issues from debt to divorce, renting property to wills and probate and a lot of other areas as well. Well worth a look and a useful website to bookmark for the future. You can see a list of the online documents available here… CommunityLegalAdvice.org.uk
