You've got me curious. I'm going to have to pull the case. I've always had a difficult time with some of these cases, especially pop songs that aren't especially complex, e.g. My Sweet Lord, etc.

While not the same cat, pretty remarkable survival story: Cat missing in Florida condo collapse found alive

This was my initial reaction - government being perceived as the deep pockets to compensate when the primary actor responsible cannot. The government was not a co-conspirator or involved in any way with the initiative by the perpetrator. The government happened to be just one of several...

Not knowing all the facts makes it difficult to comment on whether the failure and oversight should make them responsible, especially to this level.

Wow. Thanks for the article and had no idea that this was an animal rights advocate. Unfortunately , someone I met briefly who is friends with sevearl of my colleagues was confirmed found. Barring miracles of people returning from a vacation while being disconnected from the grid, it seems the...

The issue wouldn't be your dumping on city land, etc. It's more about what rights you may have as a result of another land owner's 'trespass' and the terrible publicity that a council would probably prefer to avoid. You can read a number of similar disputes here between neighbors, such as one...

A senior citizen who was hoping to save her cat from the Champlain Towers South condo being demolished in a control demolition, saw her petition denied. Woman's bid to save pet rejected before remaining condo razed Apparently firefighters couldn't save the cat and others weren't willing to...

I wasn't sure and was under the impression that he feels it should be considered illegal under existing law, not that the legislature should render this practice illegal. Regardless, we'll find out. :)

I'm truly very sorry and sympathetic to your plight. It's an awful feeling to be scammed and be left without the money. Thank you for kindly sharing all those resources which could possibly help others, hopefully searching online and finding it first and being forewarned. Unfortunately it is...

Here is a post by the Associated Press which specifically discusses the issue of businesses being able to ask proof of vaccination status. It's complicated and I've heard variations even with regard to what a co-op can require from its shareholders.

There are states that have specific restrictions on them, such as California below. Generally they are to be enforced in favor of the employee, so that anything unduly harsh is not enforceable. (Unfortunately I know this doesn't give employees peace of mind they need since no one wants to have...

There you go - that's what it could very well be and I have learned not to understimate what awful acts people are capable of performing. Could be a scam, e.g. "send me XXX bitcoin to this address / wallet and the intrusion will cease." Now if you're hearing this person repeating what you say...

I don't think statute of limitations is an issue here as the defamation could have ocured two weeks ago and let's assume it did. More of an issue is what @Tax Counsel refers to which is an obligation of confidentiality. Almost all companies require a release in order to obtain an agreed upon...

@Tax Counsel - I agree with your legal argument that it is not a taking per se. But on some level I can appreciate the argument that the other side is trying to make in that some members of government may have sought to ostensibly redistribute wealth through some legalized vehicle. What...

New York's court system is unusual in where supreme is not actually supreme and that's a glaring error to anyone involved in law here. I'm asuming this is political payback and potentially someone's desire to keep him away from impacting upcoming elections, which it wouldn't anyway. Rudy...

There has been a great deal of debate about this issue but this is a discussion for a criminal defense attorney to raise with a prosecutor. I can appreciate what you say and that there were no bad intentions, etc. but there are legitimate reasons for laws such as these and, as you know, life...

This has been a tough week. Several of the names were personally familiar to me. I met young one woman briefly who is friends with several of my friends here. Two others were potential relatives of another friend who had been in contact with them and discussing family trees since their surname...

I was thinking exactly along the same likes as @cbg regarding a non-compete! Most non-disclosure agreements are not invasive although they can be poorly drafted and create problems. It is possible that some documents in hard copy may only be kept on the premises. During COVID-19, a friend of...

I agree with my colleagues above. It is possible that the liquidated damages clause may be unenforceable, which might be the case when the actual damages are readily ascertainable and the liquidated damages represent an unreasonable penalty. As mentioned above, while a separate clause might...

Reviewing the documents took much less time than needed. I'm sorry to hear that one of these reeled you in and it can happen to anyone. But these impersonators don't operate within the jurisdiction of the FTC, CFTC, FINRA or any of those governing bodies. This is more suitable for the FBI...
