If my holiday hotel's not ready, can I claim? [LBC Legal Hour]
Michelle spent £7500 on a holiday but the hotel is still being built and probably won't be ready. She's been told she can find out 48 hours before departure if the work is complete. If she accepts a potentially sub-standard holiday, can she still make a claim?

  • @johng.1703
    @johng.1703 День тому

    it sounds like the tiles were not fitted correctly if so many were cracked. oh you can install floor tiles incorrectly and leave voids under the tile that means it cracks and breaks very easily. correctly fitted floor tiles are very hard to break, even when hitting them with a hammer. it is very easy to tell if tiles are fitted very shoddily and that is by lifting the tiles. a well fitted tile will not have any voids under it, and yes you do get installers who will dot and dab floor tiles.

    a rogue tiler could use inferior cement which deteriorates leaving a void, if one tile cracks and causes more to crack, bear in mind the cement between gives a buffer protection, then i think the tiles have not been installed correctly, the engineer wouldn't move a tumble dryer for no reason, utility rooms are general small, that is why it was moved, anyone quoting for a repair will not say i can fix it for £200 they want to replace the whole floor so they get work for a whole day or more, and not 1 hour

      You can get one for autism (often comorbid with ADHD) but usually only the most severe forms - a higher functioning person typically wouldn't be eligible. Generally, you wouldn't be able to drive with the level required for a blue badge on the autism score, so it'd be purely for being with someone else.

We had to jump through so many hoops to get my gran a blue badge after she had a stroke and could not walk unaided. This guy certainly appears to just play the system and probably just beats people down until they just give in to get rid of him. I bet everyone was jumping for joy when the managers suspended him.
