You can only use the DPA for accessing personal data. For business data, the DPA does not apply.

The rules for retention make it very clear that you must not dispose of (ie sell) the vehicle until the transfer is complete.

Another string to your bow is the Postal Union Act (or something like that...) which makes it very clear that with Royal Mail, unlike the universal postal providers in most other countries, any letter becomes the property of the recipient at the point it is entered into the postal system.

You need to talk to the retailer. SOGA does not end at 6 months; only the burden of proof as to the cause of the fault. Let the retailer take advantage of the 3 year warranty if they like...

Any charge of criminal damage would require UKCPS to involve the Police and get them interested in taking any action.

Only that at this stage, you cannot 'formally' challenge. Any challenge is informal; formal challenge exists after the issue of an NtO

As Old Snowy says, speeding is strict liability and you admit that you were speeding - for whatever reason. Return the S.172 request and wait and see if you get the offer of a speed course instead of points. If not, one way or another, you will get points.

She must thave a pre-booked Mot test arranged for the day that she returns, else she won't be able to drive from Dover. She must go from the port to the MoT test centre. Technically, she will be breaking the law in France, but they are unlikely to detect it (if they even bother)

Highways Authority, not local authority. For most LAs (unless Unitary), this is the County Council

Hang on a moment. The OP states in the first post that he sent of 'the slip' to DVLA. This is wrong. He should send the V5 to DVLA; 'the slip' goes to the new keeper

Yes. Stop phoning them and send them a letter asking them to confirm your booking in writing. The problem with phone calls is that is the sh*t does hit the fan, then there is no reliable source of who said what to whom and when.

1). There was no period in which he was banned from driving; he merely lost his entitlement to a full licence and was restricted to a provisional licence until he passed another test 2) his insurers will need to be told about his conviction and the 6 points for up to 5 years from when they were awarded.

Correct. For example, Basingstoke & Deane is a local authority. Hampshire County Council is the highway authority

However, I can see no reason why such an item should be reason to refuse you the job working with children. The offence is completely unrelated.

Not the local authority; the highway authority. Unless a trunk road or unitary authority, this will be the county council

Who owns the wall? If it is somebody's private wall (ire a boundary wall) then it has nowt to do with LA busybodies.

There's nothing wrong with double cover. Contrary to popular belief, it is not illegal

Yes, it is illegal. a) it must be insured to be kept on the public highway; b) new continuous insurance legislation requires that a vehicle must be taxed and insured or SORN'd (which means that it must be off the road)

VERA is silent on time-scales in this regard and therefore none exist (we live under Common Law which basically means that unless something is specifically forbidden, it is allowed)). There is also an urban myth about the testing centre having to be closest or being unable to stop along the way. The first is a myth as there is no statutory requirement to use a nearby testing centre - as long as you can demonstrate a pre-booked appointment, it can be at the other end of the country. The second has been completely debunked by case law; the driver is allowed to stop along the way. Providing the law is being adhered to, the DVLA can go f*** itself. The decision on law is for a Court and not a government agency that thinks itself above the law.

Try reading. (You can't even spell my name correctly!) 22 (3) refers to taking a vehicle to and from repair premises - nothing to do with the testing centre. There is no statutory requirement for the vehicle to only travel from the test centre. 22 (1)(b) is the referral for returning from a testing centre However, it is worth noting that the 22(3) exemption only applies after a lest certificate has been refused. There is no requirement that the repair premises are the same as the test centre

Sorry, but this is complete nonsense. VERA Sched 2, S.22 Vehicle testing etc. 22(1)A vehicle is an exempt vehicle when it is being used solely for the purpose of— (a)submitting it (by previous arrangement for a specified time on a specified date) for a compulsory test [F45, a vehicle identity check][F46, a vehicle weight test or a reduced pollution test], or (b)bringing it away from [F47any such test][F48or check]. [F49(1A)A vehicle is an exempt vehicle when it is being used solely for the purpose of— (a)taking it (by previous arrangement for a specified time on a specified date) for a relevant re-examination, or (b)bringing it away from such a re-examination.] (2)A vehicle is an exempt vehicle when it is being used by an authorised person in the course of a compulsory test [F50, a vehicle weight test [F51or a vehicle identity check or][F52, a reduced pollution test] or a relevant re-examination and is being so used]solely for the purpose of— (a)taking it to, or bringing it away from, a place where a part of the test [F53, check][F54or re-examination] is to be, or has been, carried out, or (b)carrying out a part of the test [F53, check][F54or re-examination].

It is an exempt vehicle as far as tax and MoT is concerned providing it is being driven to/from a pre-booked MoT test or to/from pre-booked repair once it has failed such a test. It does not need tax, MoT (or even number plates), but it must be insured to allow it to be driven.

If you ask the question, via your solicitor, then the seller is bound to give a true response - if not, the seller can be sued.

I could suggest swapping your initials round and registering the bike to your self as the new keeper at the new address - but that's not strictly legal of course...

Get hold of the TRO/TMO which pertains to where you were parked. If it does not mention how the permit is to be displayed (and I seriously doubt that it says anything beyond that they must be displayed then the Council may be acting ultra vires in attempting to prescribe just how the permit is to be displayed. It might be worth asking the Council how a permit can be displayed where the vehicle has no dashboard
