Hi,

it doesn’t calrify it, unfortunatly.

First it was mentioned a pro-bono case, with a contract to sign, not a letter.

The Solicitor interupted the meeting, and said they couldn’t help, since

– The case was to old, she said.

I explained, that I hadn’t been ignorant, and then the solicitior said

the University coultn’t

help, due to that:

– The case was to complex.

I suspect that the Solicitor just didn’t want to help, and made up excuses.

I didn’t want to start an arguement in the meeting, that’s why I’m

complaining about this now,

instead of in the meeting.

Yours sincerely,

Erik Ribsskog

Mr Erik Ribsskog
[eribsskog@gmail.com]

Dear
Erik Ribsskog

Following
your meeting in the Liverpool Law Clinic on the 24th
February 2009:

The
Facts

You
believe that you have suffered harassment at the hands of your
employer during your employment at Bertelsmann Arvato’s Microsoft
Scandinavian Product Activation (“the Company”). Your
employment at the Company ended in November 2006 at which time you
had completed over one year’s service. Any more detail on what
happened?

Your
Concerns

You
are seeking advice as to whether you can bring an employment claim
against the Company for the way it has treated you. You are also
exploring the possibility of issuing criminal proceedings against
the Company.

Our
Advice

We
are grateful that you took the time to visit us at the Liverpool Law
Clinic. Unfortunately we were unable to deal with your case as a
result of the nature of your complaint and the level of assistance we
believe you will require.

As
we explained to you our meeting we would advise you to seek
appropriate legal advice from a specialised solicitor who will be in
a position to provide the level of assistance you require. Therefore
whilst we are unable to assist you with this matter we can direct you
to the following websites for assistance in locating an appropriate
adviser:

  • Law
    Society – choosing a solicitor

http://www.lawsociety.org.uk/choosingandusing/findasolicitor.law

  • Legal
    Services Commission

http://www.legalservices.gov.uk/civil.asp

Thank
you for consulting the Law Clinic. Should you require any help in the
future on any other matters, please do not hesitate to contact us.

We
enclose a questionnaire for clients. This is to enable us to monitor
and improve our service. We would be grateful if you would take a few
moments to complete the form and return it to us in the stamped
addressed envelope provided.

Yours
sincerely

Helen
Stalford
