User Member Member # 3726 | Posted October 08, 2003 09:51 PM Hi Looney, Thanks for your comments. I have taken legal advice (only this week) and my advocates have said that it looks like my answer to their questions are absolutely brilliant... so they said I don't have to withdraw my application at the moment. I took legal advise only recently because I had to sign a couple of new long term contracts with customers and since I was unable to predict the HSMP renewal decision, I was in a fix as to whether to sign the contracts at all, because if for some reason the renewal does not happen, my customers will sue me in court for non-compliance of the signed contracts... which can not only put me in legal trouble, but as a business entity (even though a one man company) I would end up losing my credibility on business compliance, which can cost me for ever, even if I went out of UK because of HSMP. So I consulted my advocates before signing new contracts this week and they said I could go ahead and sign the contracts, but in case the HSMP gives me a negative decision, and I have to break the contract because of that, then no doubt my customers can sue me but in turn I could sue the IND, UK HO and the HSMP dept. for : 1. Loss of business because of uncertainity in HSMP decision, They said this can be a heavy cost for Home Office to bear. So, as per my advocates If i get sued by my customers, I can immediately sue the UK Govt. for the above reasons. They have asked me to document the recent communication which says that they are unable to take a decison because of their lack of knowledge in non-immigration UK laws. Anyway, that's how things are at the moment. Lets just wait and see what is in store for me. I have prepared a detailed report of my case, HSMP delays quoting all the undue hardship that I am going through and sending out that letter to Home Office and a copy to the HO Secretary as well tomorrow. Hope that might help my case, and other HSMP applicants who are on self-employment. Will keep you all updated. regards. |
