The Reasons Why Solicitors Are So Busy in the New Year


If you need legal help and advice at this time of year, then you’re probably struggling to see a solicitor. No matter how often you ring, or however many solicitors you contact, it seems like they are all fully booked up, and you just can’t get an appointment.

Here’s why solicitors are so busy at the moment.

  1. Solicitors are often busy at this time of year because there is a lot usually a lot going on in the legal profession. New laws come into effect, there are changes to existing laws, perhaps trading laws or employment laws change, and there can be criminal cases to be heard as a result of the Christmas break.
  2. This time of year sees a lot of applications for divorce. This is because affairs or other infidelities will become apparent. Perhaps somebody will speak out of turn, or a receipt will turn up and show that a partner has cheated.
  3. In addition, New year’s Resolutions can mean that people want to break out of their old routine, and perhaps start their own business, or move house. They might need legal advice to do this.
  4. In some families, the parents are only staying together for the children. Once the Christmas holidays are over, and life returns to normal, the same problems that caused the difficulties before Christmas return. This can cause couple to separate, and force children to have to choose with parent to live with. Family law solicitors are usually exceptionally busy in the first months of the new year.
  5. Many families have money worries at this time of year. Perhaps they have overspent in order to please their children, or they might have been made redundant. If they need legal as well as financial advice, then they’ll want to see a solicitor as soon as they can.
  6. Some people will be starting new jobs, or moving to different parts of the country. They might want to have their contract checked by an employment law solicitor, or want to know more about renting out their home before moving to another part of the country.
  7. Many companies will have taken on temporary staff in the run up to the festive period. Perhaps you’ve been a temporary worker and want to make sure that there have been no breeches of contract, or are an employer and want to take on some of these workers permanently.
  8. Some companies will be changing employment contracts, perhaps due to needing to reduce staff working hours, or perhaps to employ new staff. These contracts will need to be checked by an employment law solicitor so that they are legal.
  9. Lots of people will also be buying or selling homes or moving to new business premises in the New Year. This is another reason why residential conveyancing solicitors are so busy.
  10. If the weather is bad, then there might be more accidents than normal. Personal injury specialists will be working hard for their clients as they try and get the compensation they deserve, and flights and other transportation might be delayed or canceled causing chaos for those needing to travel.

Now you know more about why they are so busy at this time of year, if your case isn’t urgent, perhaps you’ll leave it a while before you contact a firm of solicitors.

Making Sure Your Office Christmas Party Is Safe

According to recent statistics, a third of companies aren’t planning on hosting the traditional office Christmas Party this year, amidst concerns about legal action due to drunken antics and so forth. While I can safely say there are many more office safety risks during a party than the rest of the year (most offices just aren’t built for that level of snacks, alcohol and cheesy music), with a little thinking ahead the office Christmas party can become the celebrated institution it once was – without the dark cloud of litigation hanging overhead. It’s important to keep the office health and safety precautions in the background however – no one likes the idea of constant red tape when they’re trying to unwind. Already over half of managers recently surveyed felt the celebratory atmosphere felt very ‘forced’.

Here are 5 workplace health and safety steps you can take to minimise the risk of a litigious post party hangover.

1) Take it out of the office

The easiest way of avoiding the legal minefield of workplace health and safety laws is to take it out of the office! As I mentioned earlier, the typical office with its computers, water cooler and cubicles is just not built for the antics and tomfoolery of the stereotypical office Christmas party. Booking a restaurant or a hotel may seem like an unnecessary expense in the short term, but the different environment will help people unwind and enjoy themselves, and your precious photocopier will not be damaged by the exhibitionist office clown!

2) Leave off the Mistletoe

This one is less ‘health and safety’ and more to do with employment law, but one of the biggest concerns for legal action is the fear of sexual harassment in the workplace. And while the Mistletoe is a firm favourite, in some cases it really can be asking for trouble. By taking it off the list of decorations, you will limit your responsibility if someone does feel harassed or intimidated – remember that if you are funding the party, then the party will still come under the office rules, including those pertaining to sexual harassment.

3) Look out for hazards

People were injured by falling Christmas trees. It just goes to show that hazards are everywhere, especially with the alcohol free flowing. If you can’t budget to have the office elsewhere, make sure you’re not creating trouble where there were no occupational health and safety hazards before. Typical Christmas office safety pitfalls can be easily avoided: Don’t allow people to stand on office chairs or desks to put up decorations and don’t allow fire hazards like Christmas lights to be hung on computers or air vents. Also, ensure that all the usual emergency information is not obscured by crass decorations – even if it means there’s no room for that last life-size reindeer model – the office health and safety laws must come first!

4) Watch out for the alcohol

It’s unsurprising that many managers are terrified at the workplace health and safety inspector’s nightmare: combining alcohol with expensive office equipment. Fortunately, there are steps you can take towards limiting the potential for damage and aiding office safety. It’s a well known fact that alcohol is most potent on an empty stomach, so put on some catering. Salty snacks are less recommended because they create a thirst which can be counter-intuitive for the alcohol-wary manager. A good way of being able to control the alcohol a little more is by making your own punch – the alcohol content is then up to you, and the fruit juice in them will cause the alcohol to be absorbed into the bloodstream that little bit slower.

5) Put on transportation

Booking some taxis or providing rooms for party goers to sleep may sound like an unnecessary expense at the end of the night, but the cost is far less than the risk they would cause to themselves by drink driving, or the damage to the company if they sue due to an accident as they stagger back to their homes. And the extra cost involved is all in the spirit of Christmas.

Drunk Driving Penalty


What would the victim who lies on a cold mortuary slab have to say had they known at the time of their death that their murderer had no real motive for the killing other than that of being under the influence of alcohol where the drunkard had choices unlike the corpse whose last breath was taken from them through an act of unjustified folly.

How can a drunk driver really believe he/she is capable of driving a vehicle after swigging ten pints of beer or a bottle of whiskey? If you are tempted to drink drive then you must listen to the friends who have your best interest at heart when they grapple to retrieve your car keys

If you are the friend of a drunken sot who is about to set out and kill them self or take the life of another then you must forcibly take the car keys away from them. It is far easier and safer to hail a taxi cab, catch a bus/train or walk home from the pub. Christmas is the time to be jolly so keep it that way by drinking in moderation or cut down on consumption of spirits with a high alcohol percentage.

Knowing the law on drink driving and imposed penalty types may have you reconsider one severe penalty that is usually inevitable in cases of drink driving and that is loss of life.

If you have been pulled up in a vehicle by a police constable he/she can request a breath test. Anyone, man or woman under the influence of booze who is caught driving, attempting to drive, or in charge of a motor vehicle on the highway or in a public place like outside your own home or even in a shopping mall car park etc, will be required by law to provide a breath test, to ascertain whether you are over the prescribed limit of alcohol – 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath (or 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood). You know what they say, don`t do the crime if you can`t do the time and if you exceed these limits then you may well be on your way to prison. Points on your drivers licence and a heavy fine are other imposed penalties for driving a vehicle while drunk, the motorist will face a driving ban (disqualification) If you are convicted of a drink driving offence then you can expect to find it extremely hard to find a car insurance company willing to insure you with out upping your annual premiums to an extortionate price. Well what do you expect after committing a crime as such?

If you have been asked to pull over and a breath test is requested then it has to be sanctioned by an officer in uniform, however a request for a roadside breath test will only happen if one of the following situations applies:

The police officer in question will have to have a reasonable cause to suspect that you have committed, or are currently committing a moving traffic offence, or if, having stopped, an officer has reasonable cause to suspect that the person driving/attempting to drive/in charge of the vehicle has consumed alcohol of more than the legal amount that law states or the police officer has reasonable cause to believe that you were the person driving/attempting to drive/in charge of a motor vehicle which was involved in an road accident. No doubt if common sense prevails none of the drink driving laws will apply. Keep safe this Christmas and go home accompanied by huskies.

How To Stay Safe At Christmas Party

There cannot be anyone out there who is not aware of the dangers involved in drinking and driving. The issue has been the subject of major television campaigns and there are now warnings and guidelines on most bottles and cans of alcohol regarding the number of units we can drink before becoming unsafe to drive. However, it seems that these measures have not been nearly enough to curtail the issue of people getting behind the wheel after having more than the legal limit of alcohol and putting themselves, their passengers and other road users at risk of injury and death. But what are we legally allowed to drink when driving? What are the effects of drinking on our ability to drive? What are the penalties of being caught over the limit and what is the best approach to use when drinking on a night out?

The legal limits?

Current law states that we should not exceed more than 80mg of alcohol for every 100ml of blood in our body. As a rough guide this means that women would be allowed 3 units (roughly equivalent to one large glass of wine) and men would be allowed 4 units (roughly equivalent to 2 pints of beer). However, these guidelines are not rigid as the amount of time alcohol takes to be released from the blood stream varies significantly from person to person depending on their weight, height, build and metabolism.

The effects of drinking on our driving ability?

The effects of drinking on our ability to drive should not be underestimated. Even one glass of wine can affect our judgment, reactions, co-ordination and our vision. In addition, a person that has had an alcoholic drink before getting behind the wheel is more likely to take risks which could increase the chances of being involved in a collision. It is an untruth that coffee or a cold shower will help to sober you up; neither of these will speed up the process of the alcohol leaving your bloodstream.

What are the penalties of being caught driving whilst over the limit?

If you are caught driving whilst over the legal limit of alcohol, do not expect to get off lightly. As well as losing your driving license for at least 12 months you could be fined up to 5,000, you could go to prison for up to six months and you could have to pay increased amounts for your car insurance.

The best approach to staying safe.

If you are planning on a night out or two over the festive period, or at any other time throughout the year, the best approach to use to ensure your safety and the safety of others is the common sense approach. If you are driving home, don’t take any chances – stick to soft drinks all night. If you do wish to drink alcohol make plans in advance as to how you will get home; book a taxi, arrange a designated driver or ask a friend or family member to pick you up. Make use of specialist companies that arrange to drive you home if you have drunk more than you planned – or book yourself into a hotel. Do not be fooled into thinking that you will be safe to drive the next morning. Alcohol takes a certain amount of time to leave your system and if you have consumed a significant amount then you could still be over the legal limit 24 hours later.

Despite the heightened awareness over recent years of the dangers of drinking and driving it remains one of the UK’s biggest killers on our roads. Christmas time sees the highest number of casualties resulting from drink drivers and we all need to be proactive in ensuring that we comply with the legal limits that are in place and constantly use the ‘common sense’ approach when enjoying our time out.
