Hi all,

This door opening into my lounge is very inconvenient.

I’m wanting to basically turn the whole thing 180 degrees so it opens out in to the hallway against the wall on the right of the photo.

Before I contact a builder, is this a huge job and is there a significant risk of damaging the wall or door frame? What sort of estimate of time would you expect this to take?

Any other info I should know would be appreciated. In my head the door frame can just be turned around but like most things it’s probably not as simple in reality maybe?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I've been attempting to engage a lawyer whose firm acts the professional trustee for a family trust that I'm raising a dispute against.

They're tactic has been to ignore me entirely, even though I've been communicating only through email. My emails have been professional worded, dealing with the facts of the dispute, and seeking a fair and reasonable outcome.

This has been happening over the course of two months, and the lawyer has made not attempt to engage or address the nature of my dispute. I've even CC'd the main office inbox to ensure that there wasn't something personally wrong with the lawyer.

Because of their lack of engagement, I've had no choice but to escalate the matter to the disputes tribunal which of course means further time and cost for me.

I don't believe that this conduct meets the standards of a professional trustee, and I want to raise a formal complaint regarding them for not even acknowledging my attempts to communicate - but I'm not sure how to go about doing so.

They are a smaller law firm (but they are noted as ******* Trustees Limited on the company register) and I don't believe they have a dispute resolution process.

What is the process for making a complaint here? I want to ensure they have accountability for their poor conduct.
