Thanks for sharing the details. Could you please clarify what specific legal issue or concern you have with your ex-partner's company? This will help me provide more precise information.
▪Mr. Gold had posted a job advertisement on LinkedIn for a * Recruitment Consultant position stating Oria Staffing Ltd as the employer (Appendix 2b.4c); twice promoting this role, once advertising an ‘open role’. This suggests that the company was actively trading and/or providing services, which would necessitate payroll processing and other financial obligations associated with employing staff. Within the job advert, it states: ’… To sell our recruitment services both over the phone and face to face’ ’We specialize in the supply of RGN, RMN HCA and Housekeepers covering both temp and perm.’ ’You will be jointly responsible for managing our fast expanding client base…’ ▪The sentences above clearly indicate that this company has a client base which is ‘fast expanding’ thus indicating there are business relationships in which this company provides a service.
Your situation seems to involve potential false misrepresentation by Oria Staffing Ltd, which could have legal implications. Here are key points to consider:
- Misrepresentation Act *: Protects against false or misleading claims.
- Fraud Act *: Covers false representation for personal gain.
- HMRC obligations: Failure to file may breach tax regulations.
Would you like to know more about potential steps to address this legally?
▪The online presence of this company has, in my objective view, either explicitly or reasonably implied suggestions which in my view, equate to False Misrepresentation and potential more deceitful breaches of law for personal gain, disregard for patient safety or consideration of expectations set by stating : ▪The company has an established client base and states this is ‘fast expanding.’ ▪The company ‘specializes’ in the supply of RGN, RMN and HCA covering both perm and temp…’ ▪Inferring they have a staff base of at least * person as it states, ‘jointly responsible….’ in the job advert. ▪Presenting itself as a functional business, yet in contrast, not providing evidence of this to HMRC by not filing.
Based on the details provided, it seems like there are potential legal concerns regarding false misrepresentation and non-compliance with HMRC regulations. You may have a strong case to report these issues to relevant authorities.
Would you like to explore how to report these potential breaches to the authorities, or do you need information on how to address this matter legally?
