Real estate agents have no automatic right to lodge a caveat over a client's property to secure the payment of commission. So some cunning real estate agents are adding a clause to the agency contract by which the client gives the real estate agent permission to lodge a caveat.
If a real estate agent adds a caveat clause, the client may be able to argue that the conduct of the real estate agent is misleading and deceptive. Even more so if the clause is inserted into the contract in a manner that makes it downright sneaky!
Bell Real Estate Belgrave is a real estate agency in the Dandenong Ranges, east of Melbourne. My firm was completing the conveyancing for a vendor client who had been a long-standing client of Bell Real Estate, and who had sold his property through that agency. He had always paid his accounts on time and without dispute, and there was never any suggestion that he would not pay Bell Real Estate their commission on this occasion. Thus, my client had a history of paying Bell its proper commissions. So, it came as quite a shock when the real estate agent telephoned our office on the Friday and told us that settlement would not be allowed to proceed on the following Monday because Bell Real Estate were concerned about the payment of their commission.

The Government is pressing forward with plans to implement key proposals made in the Hargreaves Review. On 14 December it published a consultation document on five of those recommendations, together with impact assessments on each of them.
The closing date for responses to the 114 questions posed in the consultation document is 21 March 2012. The Government plans to make its formal proposals for legislation or other action in a White Paper in Spring 2012.
The consultation does not deal with the most radical of the Hargreaves recommendations, the creation of a Digital Copyright Exchange where ownership of rights could be advertised and rights could be licensed through automated systems fit for purpose in the digital era. Richard Hooper CBE, the former Deputy Chairman of Ofcom, has been asked to lead the work on the feasibility of this and to report back in Summer 2012

On 8 July 2011 the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova passed Act No. 133/2011 on personal data protection in Moldova (Act No. 133). Act No. 133 will enter into force from 15 April 2012 and implements new norms on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, registration procedures (notification) for processors of personal data, and rules on the cross-border transfer of personal data.
Legislative background
On 15 April 2012, Act No. 133 will entirely replace the current Act No. 17/2007 on personal data protection. The new legislation is intended to align the country with EU norms, in particular Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 24 October 1995 “on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data” (Directive 95/46/EC).
Act No. 133 follows a strong legislative initiative by the National Center for Personal Data Protection of Moldova (NCPDP) to convince the legislator to vote to restructure the existing system. The reform has been underway for some time. For example, under Government Decision No. 1123/2010, current processors of personal data must implement by 25 December 2011 the published requirements on ensuring the protection of personal data upon its processing in personal data information systems.
Further, all local processors of personal data performing processing when Act No. 133 enters into force must notify the NCPDP of such operations within 30 days.
Act No. 133 defines the processing of personal data as any operation or set of operations upon the personal data of individuals.
Notification procedure
Different from the old legislation, Act No. 133 requires all processors of personal data to notify the NCPDP of an intended processing operation before it is performed. Moreover, a supplementary processing operation may not be performed until a new notification is submitted.
After giving notification, processing operators will receive a registration number that must be reflected on all acts by which personal data is collected, stored or, transferred.
Processors carrying out certain operations – such as the processing of personal data by electronic means within systems that generate individual decisions about the solvency or professional competence of individuals – will have to pass supplementary preliminary checks by the NCPDP on whether the operations comply with the new legislation. These preliminary checks may not exceed 45 days from submission (in complex cases, plus an additional 45 days). Processing personal data without the NCPDP’s authorisation is prohibited.
The NCPDP will keep a register of all personal data processors in Moldova.
Personal data subject’s consent
Compared to Directive 95/46/EC, Act No.133 provides for a slightly different definition of the personal data subject’s consent. So, except for the cases listed by law as not requiring consent, consent must be freely given, express, unconditional, and in written or electronic form. This requirement of written or electronic consent may raise practical difficulties for the processors, so a corresponding practical approach will be required from processors in order not to cause breaches of law.
Consent is not necessary if the processing of personal data is required: (i) for the execution of an agreement to which the personal data subject is a party; (ii) to take certain measures before entering into such agreement, at the subject’s request; (iii) to protect the life or health or the personal data subject; or (iv) to fulfil a legal obligation of a processor.
Under Act No. 133 all processors must ensure free access by personal data subjects to their personal data.
Trans-border transfer of personal data
Similar to the current legislation, the trans-border transfer of personal data must be authorised by the NCPDP, who will give authorisation only if the destination country ensures adequate protection of the data. This will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
In those cases listed by law, however, the NCPDP may authorise the cross-border transfer of personal data even if the destination country does not ensure an appropriate level of protection, but subject to the condition that the processor present sufficient guarantees to ensure protection (eg, an agreement signed between the processor and persons processing the personal data abroad).
The new legislation brings new rules to an important domain. Let’s hope the Moldovan authorities implement them well in practice.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

If you’re facing a particularly serious or complicated injury claim, you’ll probably need a personal injury lawyer’s advice. You shouldn’t turn to just any lawyer for help; look for someone who has experience representing injured folks (called “plaintiffs”) in personal injury claims — and whom you feel that you can trust.
There are several ways to get referrals to experienced plaintiffs’ personal injury lawyers. Once you get referrals, be sure to comparison shop. Get the names of several lawyers and meet with each of them to discuss your claim before you decide to hire someone. And be prepared for rejection. Many lawyers do not take cases if they fall below a certain potential recovery amount, or if the claim is not crystal clear.
Here’s where to look for referrals:
Talk with friends or coworkers who have been represented by a lawyer in their own personal injury claims. If the friend or coworker says good things to you about a lawyer, put the lawyer on your list of people to consult. But do not make a decision about a lawyer solely on the basis of someone else’s recommendation. Different people will have different responses to a lawyer’s style and personality; don’t make up your mind about hiring a lawyer until you’ve met the lawyer, discussed your case, and decided that you feel comfortable working with him or her.
Right Solicitor offers two ways to find an attorney. You can use the lawyer locator to quickly enter in the details of you case and have local personal injury lawyers contact you.
Right Solicitors also offers a unique lawyer directory that provides a comprehensive profile for each attorney with information that will help you select the right attorney. The profiles tell you about the lawyer’s experience, education, and fees, and perhaps most importantly, the lawyer’s general philosophy of practicing law. Right Solicitor has confirmed that every listed attorney has a valid license and is in good standing with their bar association. Every attorney has taken a pledge to communicate regularly with you, provide an estimate of the time and cost involved, and provide you with a clear, fair, written agreement that spells out how they will handle your legal matter and how you will be charged. For more information, see www.rightsolicitors.om
Another place to seek a referral to an experienced personal injury lawyer is through other lawyers you know. Lawyers commonly refer cases to one another, and most lawyers will know someone else who handles plaintiffs’ personal injury cases. As with referrals from friends or coworkers, however, do not simply take another lawyer’s referral as the final word.
Most local bar associations have referral services in which the names of lawyers are available, arranged by legal specialty. There is a wide variation in the quality of lawyer referral services, however, even though they are supposed to be approved by the state bar association. Some lawyer referral services carefully screen attorneys and list only those attorneys with particular qualifications and a certain amount of past experience, while other services will list any attorney in good standing with the state bar who maintains liability insurance. Before you choose a lawyer referral service, ask what its qualifications are for including an attorney and how carefully lawyers are screened.
What you may not get from any lawyer referral service, however, is insight into the lawyer’s philosophy — for instance, whether the lawyer is willing to spend a few hours to be your legal coach or how aggressive the lawyer’s personality is. Don’t make a decision about a bar referral lawyer until you have met and interviewed him or her.
To find out whether a lawyer is right for you, sit down with the lawyer to discuss your claim and possible ways of handling it. Bring copies of all your documents: police report, medical records and bills, income loss information, and all correspondence with the insurance company. Most lawyers do not charge anything for an initial consultation. But before you meet with a lawyer, find out whether he or she will charge you for the first interview. If the lawyer wants to charge you just for discussing whether or not to take your case, go somewhere else.
After you tell the lawyer generally what your case is about, there are a few basic things you’ll want to find out from the lawyer:
After you have discussed the facts of your case and the history of your negotiations with the insurance company, you may be able to get some sense from the lawyer about how much he or she thinks your case is worth, and how difficult it may be to get the insurance company to pay that amount. This is when you should let the lawyer know which of the following you want him or her to do for you:
If you feel confident with the lawyer’s experience, and comfortable with his or her idea of how to proceed with your case, chances are good that you’ve found a lawyer you can work with.

Whether or not you favor marriage as a social institution, there’s no denying that it confers many rights, protections, and benefits — both legal and practical. Some of these vary from state to state, but the list typically includes:
If you are in a same-sex marriage in one of the states where same-sex marriage is allowed (Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and D.C.), or if you are in a domestic partnership or civil union in any of the states that offer those relationship options, none of the benefits of marriage under federal law will apply to you, because the federal government does not recognize these same-sex relationships. For example, you may not file joint federal income tax returns with your partner, even if your state allows you to file taxes jointly. And other federal benefits, such as Social Security death benefits and COBRA continuation insurance coverage, may not apply.
