Not legal advice
Articles here are educational. They explain how UK law works in specific scenarios so readers can make informed decisions. They are not a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor on your specific facts. Where I say what the law is, it is accurate at the date of writing. Where I say what I would do in your shoes, that is opinion shaped by experience, not regulated advice.
