Oh yes! Im sure he will be quite devastated !

Im sure Ed will accept a one of payment to ease his distress though

I think it's fundamental dishonesty. I get a lot of calls from potential new employment clients, all much like this one, usual 'life's so unfair' sob story. Next they ask, 'can I get legal aid' and I say 'no, there's no legal aid for Employment Tribunals' (which is true) and then they want a conditional fee. Always wanting something for nothing.

Unlucky one ed. Serves the company right for not doing their homework before making someones life unpleasant, but given how much he'd cost them you should have expected him to be a thrush!

In that case charge the person who didn't do their job. If someone gives me 11k for nowt then they'd best expect some serious work to get it back.

Glad job the GMC didn't have the same view with the Doctor that was struck off for not repaying due to an innocent error causing an overpayment.

Glad job, you mean good job?
Don't see it. So a doctors been struck off, meaning 1000s of pounds worth of training wasted. And now the poor bloke with no trade is landed with excessive legal costs too.

Fault entirely at the feet of whoevers in charge, they should be more careful with peoples money.

Yes, good job. People make mistakes, everyone is human. **** happens and all that. As people want to happen, patient care takes priority over paperwork, so someone gets paid in error. Doesn't meant that someone should benefit with over £30k of the NHS's money due to that though. Each to their own opinion and all that.

Compared to what has happened now, guy probably won't have any chance of repaying it, money still lost, courts aren't run for free, and the NHS has to spend another fortune to train a replacement doctor.

So what's happened now is everyone has lost out! Doctor himself, patients, and NHS! Only one who has earnt out of this is law firm!

this isnt the only raw deal that you've had recently is it? feel for you man, those self employed people must be really suffering atm. Its a shame that when you do someone a favour like that and they stiff you for it.

Chin up.

Or... Kick him in the nuts!

It does make you wonder if its worth all the hastle that goes with it

Yes the money is better (when you get it) and theres more flexability with what you choose to do but sometimes its just nice to get paid every week/ month and know its all going to be there.

thats pretty much what it comes down to isnt it? Those who goes self employed are both good at managing the money in those tight months but also have the balls to take the plundge in the first place.
