I recently sold the assets of a limited company (not the limited company
itself) under an asset purchase agreement. The agreement was supplied
with numerous warranties.

The IT system was included in the sale (about 10 pc's) to enable the
buyer to continue running th online retail business. I asked for the
hard drive out of an important pc duing contract signing telling them
it had personal data on it. The buyers refused to let me take it. I
therefore deleted most if not all of this data and left Windows XP etc
running.

I was told the next day they had called in an expert to undelete the
files. I then heard that they had found old MSN conversation histories
mainly between directors but also between staff. They had sent these
conversation histories via email to other members of the buyers group
for them all to read. As soon as I heard of this I emailed the parties
involved and told them I was aware they were in illegal possession of
illegaly recovered personal data unrelated to them and they must
confirm by return they have deleted it and will not discuss or use it's
contents.

How serious an offense is this? What laws are covered here if
committed?

If an Expert Witness (Single joint) withholds disclosing full test
results for a test conducted for his legal report and then further
ignores requests for these results, how serious is this?

If the local council fail to provide services that I am forced to pay for -
e.g. emptying bins (because of a strike) - can I claim a rebate?

I know it will only amount to a few pence in reality - I'm just interested
in the answers I get.

We bought an AEG fridge/freezer in January 2008 from Comet. The
appliance was in a clearance sale as it had been on display and the
branch was closing for refurbishment. We received a discount plus an
extra discount because there was a small scratch on the door. The retail
price was GBP 749.99 and we paid GBP 524.99. As far as I am concerned
the item was sold as new and carries the full 2 year guarantee
advertised by Comet.

We had problems with icing up in one corner of the freezer compartment
and the second engineer who called this morning advised us that there
were parts missing and that there was a large hole in the back of the
freezer which was letting in warm air which was condensing in the
freezer. The problem was first noticed about 2 months after purchase but
we lived with it until early June, as we had no idea that this was
abnormal, when we reported it to the local store who told us to call an
engineer. We are only available on Saturdays and we had to wait a few
weeks for an engineer visit.

I was wondering where the law stands on advertisers, manufacturers and
promoters who make medical claims for foods and household goods such as
shampoos (typically along the lines of "cures cancer", "reverses baldness",
etc).

Are they merely transgressing advertising codes of conduct, or are there
specific laws in place that prevent, say, all but authorised, tested and
peer-reviewed medicines from attracting this sort of promotion?

Many thanks.
