Is it legal to pretend to be the British monarch?

It depends where one does this. In the UK, I believe it is a crime to falsely claim to be the monarch. Lady Jane Grey was beheaded for doing so. The charge was treason. In any other places it is proba …

I think the key word here is "assume". A person, N, who is clearly the next of kin of a recently deceased person D may not assume that s/he is D's sole heir, or indeed is D's heir at all. N must wait …

What happens if some of the information provided when subscribing a car insurance are incorr...

I believe that you are overthinking this. An error, made in good faith, saying that your most recent claim was 20+ years ago when it was actually, say, 18 years ago is not likely to be material. That …

Redistribution of system similar to the one commissioned (privately) by a client

I take it that you were hired for a one-time job to create this software for the client, what would be called a contracting job in the US, and I think a "Contract for services" in the UK. There was no …

What does "possible" mean in this compensation context?

From the news article alone, one cannot tell just what is meant by "possible" here. My guess is that the passenger claimed that the event happened, the railway has not conceded that it did, but would …
