Request for NHBC to mediate in a building matter - This is a letter of request to the National House Building Council for the use of its conciliation service for the purposes of mediating in a building matter.
Change of Name Deed for a Surname - The law recognises that individual adults can change their surnames merely by using a new surname. However, to prove a change of surname, for example to re-register on the electoral roll, change a passport or stand as a candidate for Parliament, it will often be necessary to evidence the change of name so as to provide acceptable proof that the name has changed. This document deals with a change of surname by either of the methods permitted by law. These are (1) by formal notification at the Supreme Court Central Office by way of deed poll; alternatively (2) by way of statutory declaration if you merely require evidence that you have changed your surname for a specific purpose.
