After an accident at work I received a report from the consultant which I feel does not fully explain about the disfigurement and damage I suffered. Is there a procedure for challenging the report?

It’s not clear whether the consultant you saw was as an outpatient or one who had been instructed by a solicitor representing you in a personal injury claim. In such cases you need to see a solicitor who is a member of the personal injury panel, who may take your case on a no-win no-fee basis. The solicitor in turn would instruct a consultant who would be experienced in this type of work. If you have already taken this route you should discuss your misgivings with your solicitor. Unfortunately you won’t be able to simply instruct a different consultant in the hope of obtaining a more favourable report.

I told my employers that I intended to finish work. Then, four weeks before I was due to leave, I had an accident when one of the castors came off my office chair and I had to be taken to hospital. I returned to work a fortnight later but was told to finish with immediate effect. Although they are giving me notice pay I feel I may have a case for compensation.

My sister worked for a company for ten years. Four months ago they were told they were relocating to London, and that they would be redundant as from next year. She managed to get another job, but has been told that she won’t qualify for a redundancy payment from her previous employer because she hadn’t received the official 90 days’ notice, but only a letter of intent.
