my own Countdown

[Aberdeenplotter]

Flo, I'm told the Finance Convenor is now meeting with the City Solicitor today instead of on Wedneday. Hopefully that meeting will yield something of value. Whatever, I will have more time to react.

All my best wishes go with you bud

[Aberdeenplotter]

Cheers matey.

Still waiting to hear back from Council Finance Convenor after his meeting with the City Solicitor.

Email reminder sent marked 'Very Urgent'. I've done as much as I can including having found a Court Case where it was held in the Inner House that the requisite notice intimating that a landlord intends to terminate a lease as a result of a failure to pay rent absolutely must be sent to a tenant by recorded postal delivery and that delivery by Sheriff Officers is insufficient.

Found another case where the notice was given and delivered properly but was held by the Sheriff Principal on appeal to be invalid as the information contained in the Notice was "incomprehensible to the tenants" and would mislead any "reasonable recipient".

The Notice is therefore a vitally important part of the procedure and as I wasn't even sent such a notice, I should be fine.(Everybody nod please)

[veggiechicken]

You'll be fine, AP, of course you will (is that better?) XXXXXXXXXXXX

[Aberdeenplotter]

VC, you're a love . xxxx

Just heard back from City Finance Convenor. He has met with the Chief Executive of the Council and with the City Solicitor. The Council is to press on with the Court Action. Have now got to dash into town to lodge additional productions (details of the Court cases I referred to the other day)

I now have to hope I am able to persuade the Sheriff round to my way of thinking tomorrow.

[lottie dolly]

good luck,all the best,can't beat VC wishes,only in person,and is to far to come,so have a hand to hold on the day instead,

[Florence Fennel]

Keep on your toes AP, bobbin' and weavin', bobbin' and weavin', you have done the spadework, so I'm sure it will all pay off. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll shoot the sherriff. Howzat?

[veggiechicken]

Look out for us in Court today, AP, because we'll all be there, banner waving and heckling the Council Solicitor! See you afterwards for a celebratory drink (as long as you're paying!) All the best

[Bigmallly]

Me thinks you may be working for the council soon............if not, you bladdy well should be........good luck as always.

[singleseeder]

AP, I've been following this with interest and admiration. We will see you on the national news tonight no doubt and, never having been known to miss out on a celebration, I'll be in the virtual pub too.
