The director of a Stourbridge plumbing business has been given a suspended jail sentence for fraud after claiming his business was registered as “Gas Safe.’ Nicholas Marks admitted four charges while the company itself, Topmarks Plumbing Ltd of Ham Lane, Pedmore, admitted five. Magistrates heard that the firm wasn’t registered as ‘Gas Safe’ but misled customers into thinking it was by advertising the trademark on its website and then carrying out work it should not have. At Dudley Magistrates Court Marks, 50, whose address was given as Walsall Road, Lichfield, admitted two fraud charges and two brought under the Consumer Protection Act.

Beaumont Hospital has apologised in the High Court to a former professional golfer for failures which occurred in the care provided to him after he presented with pain in his upper back.
The apology was read out in court as Ian St John, who was formerly a PGA professional but now has paraplegia and uses a wheelchair, settled his action.
His Counsel Michael Counihan SC instructed by solicitor Nicholas Walsh told the court it was their case Mr St John had gone to the Dublin hospital first on August 5, 2016, complaining of severe back pain but a tumour on his spine was not diagnosed for another two weeks and Mr St John was already showing signs of paralysis of the legs.
