    Once you get a description of the uniform this may narrow it down.
    Don't necessarily rely on the supermarket to have your interests at heart.
    Any claims they have retained the cctv, you need to get that in writing for it to be meaningful in any way.

    One presumes their cctv is digital ..
    One hopes they are not accidentally wiping it.
    Is this sainsbury?
  • Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

  • Where's the false representation in this story?

    It was part of the side discussion about if people provide false details. Giving false details in order to avoid being pursued for losses/damages suffered by another party due to your negligence would be a false representation.

    I don't think s3 (failing to disclose etc) would apply because there's no legal obligation (that I'm aware of) to provide the information in the OP's situation.

    Your link isn't relevent to any of that.

    It is - although perhaps it's not that clear unless you read it in conjunction with s1 of the Fraud Act?

    Fraud act covers the gain or loss of money or property. Why do you consider injuring someone as fraud?

    FiremanDave, you need to read what you are quoting.

    You quoted Browneyedbazzi's post:

    Welcome to the forum, by the way.... but it is understandable for you to make the odd mistake when postiing at the rate of fifty posts a day. :D

    Where is the gain by the "carer" or loss by the mother in law for the fraud act to apply?

    Am I the only one who finds the concept of someone in a wheelchair "doing a runner" amusing?
