As above. I am not technically an employee of the company but a supplier providing services. Worked there for 15 years. They suddenly wound up 7 days ago so many of us in various European countries are now jobless. I am owed 2 months of invoices. The CEO says he will pay tomorrow but if the company wound up a 7 days ago, is that even possible?

If I don't get paid then does anyone have any idea how this would work crosa-border in terms of solving this pay issue? What are my options? The company are headquartered in Luxembourg.

I am currently writing the statuses to create a non-profit association. For context, I am 19 years old (yes, I am legally allowed to create an association) and my non-profit focuses on the development of projects in the fields of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. I have completed the statuses and had AI check for compliance but I still would like for a professional to do a last check to validate the statuses. Would anyone be free to do a probono? I wish I could pay, but I don't have any kind of capital.

I hope I am not breaking any of the rules of this subreddit for asking this. I read the rules and didn't find anything explicitly telling me I couldn't ask this but if I am breaking the rules, I apologise in advance to the moderators and maybe you could direct me towards the right subreddit to ask for this.

Hello everyone,

About a month ago, I had a car bump into mine. We were both driving in an urban road (speed limit is 50km/h here in Luxembourg). At one point I had to slow down because a car was leaving a road on my right (he had the priority). The driver who was following me didn't slow down and bumped into my rear. Probably on his phone, but that's a guess.

So, we stopped a little further. He apologized, checked my car and told me " That's nothing, if you want I give you 200 euros and we are done ". I refused. The damage is much higher than that. I would say between 1000-1500 euros.

We proceeded with the paper work. He had a valid insurance card. Driving license. He acknowledged his mistake. In the accident report, he made a cross on " hit someone else from behind ". He also accepted the drawing of how the accident happened. He signed the document. I kept the original and he kept the second sheet. He left and apologized once more for the trouble.

The same day I contacted my insurance agent. And the day after gave him the accident report. Here in Luxembourg, according to the law, you have 8 days to submit the accident report.

I had my car checked by an expert to evaluate the damage the following week (it is mandatory for damages over 500 euros).

Two weeks ago I got an e-mail from my agent that the insurance company can't rule on this case because the other side never sent his accident report. They claim they asked him to do so by registered mail, but got no answer. And basically the situation is stuck ever since. The insurance company told me they won't proceed until they get his accident report. Another interesting point : We both have the same insurance company.

I really have the feeling they are trying to trick me into not paying. The other driver literally signed an accident report where he admits his fault. The expert also noticed the damage on my car is all in the rear.

What seemed like an easy case has turned into a nightmare with my agent telling me I can try to contact the head of the insurance company and try to unblock situation myself ...

I don't know what to do. I feel like they are trying to scam me but don't know what are my options :/

Any help is welcome. Thanks for reading.

Hi,

It will be my first post ever on reddit. I bought an apartment in 2016 in Luxembourg. We are three owners. I always got along well with one of the two. The other is hellish. It's the biggest liar and manipulator I have ever seen. He has no concept of what's wrong and right or what "private property" means. I could write pages of everything I witnessed since 2016 but that would take me days to write down.

I'm thinking about selling and moving out but I have one big problem. The demon has been " taking over " my garden. I came back from holiday and just found out that he, again, took over like half a meter. It's ridiculous. I have probably 1/3 less sqm. I already tried to talk to him but it's completely pointless. He simply said he knows what belongs to him and when pointing out I have pictures of how it slowly shrank over the past two years he simply said he doesn't give a f...k.

Only thing left is to go to court with him. Now my question : " How do I proceed ". I was thinking about hiring a bailiff to put down on paper what my lovely neighbour has done. That way he won't be able to bail off once it gets serious and removes everything ( I honestly don't think he will ever back off ) and than go see a lawyer and get it moving forward.

Is it the right way to do it?

I know I will have to move out after this. Before me, 6 people owned that apartment and ALL of them left after some time. The last one even grabbed him by the throat and pushed him down the stairs ...

Sadly, I can't add pictures it seems :/

Thanks in advance for the much needed help

I recently moved to the Netherlands to study at university and have Dutch nationality. However, I lived before that in Luxembourg and finished school there. I applied for student financing from the Luxembourgish government and have got it. After talking to my friend with the same situation, he told me he applied for the Luxembourgish and Dutch student financing and gets money from both. I am wondering if this is legal or not.

Hello,

I would have a question concerning the purchase of a car in Luxembourg.

I recently bought a brand new car (in stock) and took almost 6 weeks to deliver. During the sales process, I met the seller several times in all of them I asked explicitely whether the car had three isofixes points on the second row. He confirmed that yes. As the car is discontinued and I was not able to see in the showroom, I trusted.

I told him explicitely several times this is the only reason to buy this car (i.e to have three isofixes).

I picked the car this week and drove home. When I arrived, realise that the car has two isofixes points on the second row. I called the seller and he was shocked. I told him how is this possible, and he told me that would check internally what to do.

I am just shocked with this situation. What are my options here? Request a price discount or any other? I need a car to drive but I am shocked with the incompetence with the seller. In no place of the contract, it is mentioned that the car has three isofixes but he assured me several times verbally.

Would appreciate an advice.

Hello to all readers! I apologize for the mistakes, I am writing through a translator. I have a problem that I want to share and maybe someone will tell me something. I am from Russia, I left for Poland in 2021. Then, because of the new law in October on the abolition of the simplified scheme of employment of Russians. He was forced to leave Poland and went to the Netherlands to seek political asylum. Since I have been supporting Ukraine since the beginning of the war and I understand that nothing good awaits me in my country. At the first interview, I was told that there would be no Dublin procedure and sending me to Poland. That is, they will not be sent to Poland so that they will consider my case. However, after the interview, a few days later, immigration made a request to Poland under the Dublin procedure. My lawyer filed an appeal. On June 7, information came from a lawyer that my case was stopped and a request was sent to the European Court in Luxembourg about the situation in Poland. I wrote to the lawyer in August and on November 10. No news, it's just that nothing has changed for half a year. I have certain mental problems and, to put it mildly, I can't cope with this pressure. It is forbidden to work, you sit, lie all day and do nothing. I tried to do some of my own business, but everything gets boring very quickly or does not get promoted. But that's not the point. Maybe someone has encountered or knows how long this European court has been considering cases? It's just unbearable to wait already. I have been in the Netherlands for 11 months and no changes.

At a pharmacy today, a pharmacist made it clear she suspected me of writing the prescription myself on one of my Grandma's, a retired doctor's blank prescription sheets.

It was for codeine, a controlled substance in Luxembourg. It wasn't the first time the pharmacist had seen me use a similar prescription before.

I denied saying my grandma did indeed write it for me, and that she could come and verify this.

She took a photocopy of the prescription. She called 20 minutes later (15mins before they closed) asking for my grandma's phone number. I said I would give it later as i didn't have it in front of me.

What are my options here, I have no idea what the legal ramifications are only that we're talking about forgery, Social Security fraud etc. I'm thinking of

a)confessing everything to the pharmacist tomorrow in the hopes that she wont escalate the matter any further.

b)talk to an attorney

c) confess to the police in the hopes that my 93-year-old grandma is rightfully seen as the victim and not complicit in my actions.

Please share your opinions on how best to approach this situation. And please, constructive criticism only. I know how truly reprehensible such a breach of trust this is

Thank you.

Hi there,

I recently sent a letter by mail to my local catholic church leader to ask to be excommunicated. I'm doing this as a form of protest, and I know this is a thing they don't really "do" anymore (so we don't need to get into that) but the point is I sent it by mail.

I received a reply, but by email. The problem is that I didn't put my email address in the letter.

I have a professional website I use for my freelance work. It's likely they found the email there, if they googled my name.

Was this legal? I'm interested in knowing. I don't necessarily want to get into a legal battle with the church but I'm interested in seeing what the ramifications are based on the knowledge of people who know about these things. I am definitely peeved and I'm fantasizing a little about screwing with them, but if it's not legally viable then it's not legally viable.

I am in Luxembourg.

This is in Luxembourg, but I think advice from other countries might apply as well.

I'm considering opening a business and when I joined my current employer I signed a confidentiality and invention agreement. It basically states that I am not allowed to work for competitor in any form (employee, contractor, etc.) without written consent from the VP of my department or someone representing him. This worries me, not because they would say "no can do" (I know they can't theoretically do that), but because I know is frowned upon and because of the questions they would raise (decrease in performance at work, leaving the company at some point if business is profitable, etc...).

Plus the clause in the agreement seems really strict. Extract below:

During my employment with [Compamy Name], I will not work as an employee, contractor, consultant, or in any other capacity for any other person or concern which is a competitor, customer or supplier of [Compamy Name], or a competitor of a supplier of [Compamy Name], nor hold any interest directly or indirectly as principal, agent, shareholder, partner, or otherwise in any such concern, without prior written approval from my department Vice President or his/ her designate. The sole exception to the above is an investment by me in the shares of a publicly traded company.

I have absolutely no intention in working for competitors of my company, and my business would be creating my personal brand, and selling digital products (online courses, ebooks, general educational material). I would also occasionally do consultancy services for other companies, not competing with my current employer.

I am not a developer at my current employer, but I deal with their software, and I know how to develop applications and websites, which is what I would do in my business.

Have you had experience with opening a business while still employed? What did you do in your case?

Do you think such a strict clause would be enforceable in court?

I’d like to remain anonymous about my identity. Long story short, I was terminated during my probation period in a company located in Luxembourg. I was offered about 15,000 euros relocation allowance as a lump sum and a joining bonus which was added to my salary slip every month. I had signed two different A4 sized papers with nothing on the letterhead, plain blank papers one which mentioned if I quit I have to pay back both the amounts and the other one mentioned if I am terminated for any cause in 2 years then I have to pay back as well.

2 months in, they decided I’m not good fit for the job and terminated me. I was informed I have to pay back the money and I tried to negotiate since I have used that money to actually relocate which I won’t get back no matter what I do. Hence I’m short of what they’re asking me to pay which is in excess of 10k euros. I offered to stay and try in a different team in the same organisation but they didn’t pay any heed to it.

Based on labour law in EU, is this legal for a company to claw back money even if you didn’t leave yourself and were terminated? Not an European citizen so I’m unaware how things work. I’m hoping to get some insight.

I had an accident in Zurich two months ago and stayed in a hospital for over two weeks. I am residing and working in Luxembourg for over three years. Since then, I am covered by the National Health Fund (CNS) and I have the European Health Insurance Card. However, the Swiss insurance fund refuses to pay my expenses since I am not an EU national. The hospital bill exceeds 100k CHF and I do not have anywhere near this amount.

CNS says, they can only reimburse me after I pay the bill and they also do not have any idea what the reimbursement rate is because it is going to be decided according to Swiss reimbursement rules. I wonder if anyone had a similar experience or if there is anyone who can give me legal advice.

Hello, i am a student 18 years old, living in europe in Luxembourg where owning a tazer is illegal. I was just going through airport security and (im very stupid for this ik) my handmade tazer was found in my bag bc i stupidly forgot to take it out (its been in there for at least a month and i forgot it was there) they took my id and boarding pass and wrote down my adress and then gave my id and boarding pass back and let me go. They ofc kept the tazer and im assuming they will send it to the police... how big of a deal is this (Sorry if there are spelling mistakes im sitting at my gate very stressed)

Corporate shareholders agreement with Luxembourg governing law. No long stop date mentioned. Signed more than a year ago. One party did not yet fulfill all of its obligations.
Can the other party consider the agreement not to be valid any longer and withdraw?

Is it possible to apply for a working visa in Luxembourg (someone offered me a job), whilst on a student visa in Luxembourg?

Edit: I'm a third-country national studying a Masters degree.

So to describe my situation in detail, I use dual sim and have two contracts at the same company one with an unlimited mobile data (sim1) the other one with locked mobile data (sim2) which number I only use so people can reach me. Last month I changed my contract so that sim2 has the contract of sim1 and other way around and while that happened they probably made a mistake and somehow the sim with unlimited data was locked and the one which has no such flatrate was unlocked. Because I have some stress with the situation atm I didn't paid much attention what sim I used over the month because I thought the situation was fine and only realized my mistake when my data was locked at the start of this month. After making some calls I came to the conclusion that I apparently used the wrong sim and that they now have unlocked the sim with my unlimited data contract.

I'm expecting a 1500€ bill this month and I'm only a student, I'm able to pay it but I rather would save that money for something important. What are my options in my situation, I know that I take part of the responsibility but that they forgot to unlock my mobile data should play a role in some form?

I'm from Luxembourg and the company is also based in Luxembourg as long as I know.

When I signed up I was expecting 60 lessons with maybe 20% online but during my first class today the teacher said we will only be doing 30 hours with the remaining 30 spent doing homework. This really doesn't seem right and I notice that the website has now changed to show that but doesn't mention what happens for those who signed up before.

The school is very bad at responding in the best of times and now they're ignoring me.

I will keep it short here, I have tried looking on the internet but have not been able to find anything on this topic if it is legal to launch could you please put a link so i can read it through and find out under what conditions is it legal?

I am in Luxembourg

Thank you in advance

Hello there, I'm looking for wing a friend up with some freelance gigs in Europe, problem is he outside of the EU and has no permit to work here and doesnt want to move here either. Any idea of how to make this possible? Thanks in advance.

In Luxembourg, Europe. I purchased an apartment in a home that was converted to 4-unit apartment building - the building has a large garage/basement which extends fully beneath the entire backyard. The previous owner had used the property as his family home and had installed a large inground swimming pool in the backyard. Following the building conversion, he sold all the apartments, but he retained ownership of some land/and garage space, the whole backyard including the pool. He pays for lawn/garden maintenance a few times per year, but the pool is now just an open empty hole that is filled with leaves and mud. The liner is peeling off and it’s just falling apart. It is not covered or protected in anyway. The 2 units on the ground floor have doors and terraces that open onto the yard, but as none of us has ownership we are not supposed to use the yard beyond the terrace space. There are no barriers in place. Both of the lower units have small children in the home. When first visiting the apartment we discussed the pool with the real estate agent and we were assured of course the pool would be gone in a year or so, but this was not specified in our sale agreement. The previous owner still uses the garage/basement space as storage. Is there any way we can compel him to clean up and cover the pool, or remove it entirely? He does not intend to ever sell the backyard space to any of the apartment owners. The pool has been in an abandoned state since 2011, so over 8 years now. Is there any concern that the pool may no longer be holding water correctly, could this pose any risk for the basement structure? (All apartment owners do also have owned storage units and parking spaces in other parts of the garage/basement area). Just wondering if we have any recourse here or if we need to accept that we will have a decrepit old pool in the backyard forever. Thank you!

I work for an emerging IT company and we want to be able to educate people and offer them valid certificates. Is there an easy way, any European regulations regarding continuing education?

I looked through the national legislation and it seems that we have to register for the Ministry of Education in order to get accredited as a private education institute. It seems a bit too much, as we don`t want to turn into a university, but to offer IT certifications to people attending our workshops. How to do it?

If I create a mobile game that has the current and ancient f1 drivers names in it, do I need to ask permission to formula 1 themself or am I free to use any name I want? (Assuming that I won't use any Logo associated to the formula 1)

I read through the licensing document on the f1 website and they only talk about f1 logos and track names, they don't explicitly state the names of drivers...

Hi,

I am part of an esports org (nothing registered, but we want to aquire sponsors and grow in the future).
We decided on a name, "Dragons Lair" (as all our teams have Dragon names). The owner of the org comes from Luxembourg, but I guess we have members from all over Europe, if that matters.

We looked the name up in google and found there is a switch game with exactly the name "Dragons lair" which seems to be trademarked".

https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-Switch-download-software/Dragon-s-Lair-Trilogy-1497141.html

So the question now is, does this affect the use of the name "Dragons Lair" for our org? What would I need to look out for, what is allowed? When can we use a name, when can't we?

More US related, but there is an org called "Cloud 9" and there is also a hairstraightener with the trademark for "Cloud Nine" or a company producing CBD products called "Cloud 9". So I am just confused. Also how you can trademark like a rather normal word, like "Dragon Lair" or "Cloud 9".

Any information appreciated.

Thank you
