However whilst celebrating the sudden enthusiasm for Parliamentary action one has to point out the laboriously slow recognition of the fact that matters need taking into hand. Words such as: Horse, Stable door and bolted come to mind. Sadly the Law appears to support the underdog against the larger, allegedly richer entity whether a claim is 'kosher' or not. This appears to be supported by the greed of certain legal establishments, taunting the insurers with litigation thus forcing 'amicable' settlement of perhaps spurious claims. The worst example occurred circa 2 years ago when a client nudged a third party's vehicle in the rear at 2mph whilst waiting in a traffic jam. Three claimants and solicitors shared circa £14k!! Can the 'rot' be curtailed? Regards, Graeme Excellent!

Recently, British Chancellor of Exchequers, George Osborne announced many measures to pull the British economy out of depression. Among others, these measures included :

 Starting 2013, 1 % cap on Public Sector pay for 2 years, once the current two-year pay freeze ends

 Plans to raise the state pension age from 66 to 67 would be brought forward by 8 years to 2026

 1 billion pound scheme to subsidize work placements for the young unemployed

Despite these measures, unemployment is expected to rise from 8.2 % this year to 8.7 % next year
Job losses in public sector would nearly double to 710,000 , compared to earlier estimate of 400,000

Questions to be debated :

 If British Govt can impose a pay freeze for 4 years in Public sector, should British private sector follow suit ?

 To keep wage-costs under control, should employers be allowed to hire temporary / contractual staff on a fixed salary for , say , 2 years ?

 Will that encourage employers to hire more people ?

 Can inflation be better controlled thru a pay freeze ( less money in people’s pockets ), rather than thru hikes in interest rates ?

 Since salaries / wages are a major input-cost, can such freeze hold the production costs constant ?

 Will pay freeze lead to a “ low cost “ economy , making British products much more competitive internationally ?

 If this “experiment “ is successful, can it possibly lay the foundation of a National Wage Policy which pegs maximum annual wage-increase percentages to 90 % of the rise in the Consumer Price Index of the preceding year, for both, the private and the public sector employees ?

For a long time rent has been the biggest problem for retailers in Britain compared with much of Europe, meaning prices are higher and wages are lower, as retailers have to make up the amount they are spending on rent.

Most engineering and construction contracts (eg, the CRINE / LOGIC suite for the UK on/offshore industry) contain mutual hold harmless indemnities, where the each of the parties indemnifies and hold the other party harmless for death and personal injury to the Indemnitor's staff (and often its other contractors also) and for damage to the Indemnitor's property, irrespective of the negligence of the Indemnitee. (Third party claims are usually dealt with on a fault basis). The purpose is to avoid the sort of subrogation-led litigation between insurers that occured after the Piper Alpha disaster. So if company A's employee is injured on an oil platform in the North Sea, caused by the negligence of company B's staff, ordinarily company A and its insurers would be expected to pick up the bill for the employee's personal injury and there would be no personal injury claim by the employee against company B or any subrogated claim between company A against company B, whetehr for the loss, contribution, contributory negligence, etc. The standard exceptions to this arrangement are Gross Negligence and Wilful Default. (These are usually defined terms). In the event an accident was caused by either Gross Negligence or Wilful Default, there is no indemnity provided, so the party at fault will be liable to the last penny.

There can be a very fine line that advertisers tread on occasion, and sometimes they cross it and will be reprimanded. However, there are many other similar instances that would never even be picked up on, so it is down to the general public to raise their concerns over misleading advertising.

Kylie Grimes loses Farnham pool damages claim

A woman who hit her head on the bottom of a swimming pool during a late-night party in Surrey has lost her claim for £6m damages in the High Court.
Kylie Grimes, now 23, of Farnham, was left paralysed from the chest down when she dived into the pool in August 2006.
The pool owner David Hawkins, of Compton Way, Farnham, denied liability and said he considered the pool safe.
Mrs Justice Thirlwall ruled in favour of Mr Hawkins, describing the pool as “not unsafe for diving”.
Ms Grimes, of Stephendale Road, broke a vertebra below the base of her neck jumping into the pool.
‘High spirits’
She claimed her injury was caused by Mr Hawkins’s negligence or breach of his duties under the Occupiers’ Liability Act but Mrs Justice Thirlwall ruled against her.
The court heard in May that Mr Hawkins and his wife were away on the night of the accident.
Their daughter Katie had asked her father to let her have a few friends over but a group of about 20 came back from the pub.
The judge said: “I have no doubt that some mature adults faced with a group of young adults in high spirits, some of whom had had too much to drink, would send them all home rather than allow any of them into a swimming pool.

I know a few public sector IT directors who have similar concerns about open source in particular. I wonder if greater use of open source will result in an increase in support providers - possibly lowering the cost? Would be interested to hear the views of those using open source solutions at the moment. Similarly - of the other strands of the policy - it would be interesting to hear from those who have switched to cloud computing. I've been hearing a lot recently from providers and some users - particularly in the insurance sector - http://www.law-less-ordinary.co.uk/wordpress/2011/04/28/cloud-computing-for-insurance-sector/ - would be good to hear people's experience of using the cloud.

In a previous role as ICT Director of a large Fire Service, I had two options when looking at a complete infrastructure renewal that was long overdue. Both were based on the same hardware platform and - by requirement - used exactly the same hardware specifications. Option 1 was a Windows-based solution, option 2 was a fully Open Source solution based on Linux. The financial difference was negligible and over 3 years erred slightly in favour of the Windows solution. Why was this? Open Source does not equal Free! There "may" be free access to some licenses, but once the supported options are selected this is no longer true. And before the zealots scoff - would you want your local Fire Service or A&E to have its applications being run on an infrastructure which didn't have third level support and escalation options? I am not opposed to Open Source solutions, however I do think it can smack of lazy, publicity-seeking posturing if the true nature of Open Source is not part of the debate.
