Forum Usage Policy
The purpose of this policy is to ensure our forum users have a friendly, supportive and considerate environment where they can chat and discuss issues relating to the law. Our policy allows us to take action if our terms are breached.
The forums are for anyone to use, but you will confirm acceptance of these terms when you register. You must provide a valid email address.
We reserve the right to terminate your registration if we learn that you have provided false or misleading registration information. Registrations without valid details will be automatically deleted.

The views expressed in the posts you will find in the discussion forums belong solely to their respective authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of No.53 Legal Limited.

It is solely your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all opinions and other information provided. We reserve the right to edit any message posted in the discussion forum if we decide it is in breach of/conflicts with the main purpose of this policy.
If you need legal advice, we offer it. See other options on our site to obtain legal advice specific to your circumstances.
