MQ - Would you want to stay?

[airborne_artist]

Quite so, but there seems a little difference between 60 days/2 years and 6 years as reported.

She's got a better lawyer than the MoD, perhaps?

Having apprised the OH of this one (she being former Admin Sec and encountered the problem often) it is easy to get a possession order but NOT easy to get an execution order from the Court.

Judges also get a little bit peed off when MOD turn up mob handed, with up to 6 lawyers. Whilst poor little wifey has only got the best that legal aid can afford.


Personal experience here

In my opinion the mates' widows you refer to should have had more support to stay in their quarters, if they so wished.

Shack it is the way of PPRuNe these days - folk are all to ready to judge and pass ill informed comment. Where is the compassion and empathy, I don't know this lady personally but she and her husband could easily have been my neighbour on any of the quarter communities I lived on when in. She is obviously in a place of difficulty in her life and needs help. The Services all too often bang on about how we are a family - well now is the time to prove it, or like much else is that just so much mouth music. The quarter appears no longer to be needed, how about the MOD gets creative and explores a transfer to the local authority. How about the MOD sits down face to face and discusses with the lady her concerns and what she needs to resolve the situation. But hey don't let this stop the angry mob denigrate someone they do not know, over a story that has been written in a newspaper. Some family!

On this occasion, I agree with you absolutely, Tom.

Insufficient data to comment further at this time.

Regarding the comments about the supposed "service family" - it would appear from statements on the NEM roadshow thread that this "family" is now being deliberately dismantled from the inside!

Looking at it from another point of view, they need her evicting, if they fail it could set a legal precedent for families leaving the services, or even for singlies living in Service accomodation if she is allowed to stay put..
The sell the house to the local Authority route also seems to be a minefield in the offing..


Why - it is going to be sold anyway; why not sell it to the LA who have a remit to increase their housing stock - no minefield if intent is there to do some good

I mean in the sense that it sets a precedent, so the next person that comes along and wishes to stay put could argue the same point, regardless of its location.

Ex-wife of RAF pilot loses High Court battle over family home (From Watford Observer)

Her and her dog are in need of a new 3 bed home.

After yesterday's ruling, MoD lawyers assured the judge that no immediate steps would be taken to evict Mrs Nicholas and that she would be given reasonable time to move out.

Does that mean that the judgement isn't likely to be enforced in the near future?
