What other course of action are you concerned about? That's a pretty open-ended question. On the facts above, you just return the car, the lease is terminated, end of story.

I'm geting mixed signals here. You ask if you have any case, but you say you want to drop it. You can certainly present your side of the story to refute the allegations. I imagine statements from the teachers would carry significant weight. But ultimately it is probably up to the school to...

Without knowing your jurisdiction it is impossible to tell. Even with that, this is a question about the specifics of civil procedure there and posters here an unlikely to know the answer. I would suggest you check with your local court clerk. FWIW, the whole point of disclosure is to allow...

If you don't respond, they'll get default judgment against you, and will proceed to collect on it. Garnishment, liens, etc. Not being dated is probably a technicality. It doesn't sound like there is any doubt you WERE served. But you never know. It might have some relevance if you file...

Purely a mathematical question. You owe 3210 minimum, maybe more. You could get out of it for 3745. That's called "sawing it off", and it is quite an effective tactic on anyone who has a calculator. You'd pay a lawyer several thousand to go to trial and haggle about the extra amounts. If...

Mmm, this is interesting. I think the "before the letter" thing is a red herring - if you HAD sent them the credit card information after the letter, then presumably they would think you changed your mind from what you said in the letter, and would charge the card. Either way, they would...

What does he owe you, and when did he owe it to you? This sounds like a very vague agreement. You can write him a nasty letter demanding payment, and if he doesn't pay, then you sue him. You'll need to prove the existence of the oral contract in court, and what the terms of the agreement...

Depends how the sale of the lodge was accomplished. If the purchaser bought the whole business, they bought it subject to its existing contractual obligations. Your contract is not null and void. The new owner has to honour your contract, and can't go tacking on additional fees. On the...

Verbal agreements can hold up in court. The problem is proving them. It's your word and your office manager's (who is basically an extension of you) against hers. Given that she's been using the equipment for the past 11 months, it would seem to me you could convince a judge that she agreed...

First off, you need to ascertain whether there is a will or not. What is this thing they step-dad originally thought was a will, and what happened to it? If there is no will, Iowa's intestacy laws govern the distribution of your mom's estate. I assume that 633.212 is the applicable provision...

To my knowledge, "trustee by proxy" is not a concept known to Ontario law. If she has Alzheimer's and cannot or will not be handling the estate, there is no way she should be appointed with her husband acting for her. Somebody needs to do it directly. If not her because she is incapable, and...

thelaw.com: come for the legal advice, stay for the family counselling. :)

The officer personally is very unlikely to be responsible. Either he was wrong originally when he cited your neighbour or he is wrong now, but either way, how has that error harmed you? FWIW, that sounds exceedingly implausible to me. These sorts of statutes usually refer to "construction"...

Not that it's worse than going to jail for fraud, but she could also expect to be sued for the return of the money. Even if she deletes the account, he will still have copies of the emails. She would have to perjure herself by stating that she didn't write the emails. I don't believe that...

He can certainly try to stop the sister from becoming trustee. He can contest her application, and expect to file a countering application for a certificate. As the person named executor in the will, I sorta like his chances. You should also know that under Ontario law, a person who becomes...

You can tell him to pound sand, and it's pretty clear he's in the wrong. But without knowing more about what's gone on, it's difficult to say what position you'll wind up in. What outcome are you looking for? This is slightly troublesome. But assuming the method of payment is a trifle, it...

I answered this one because sometimes I just do things for kicks. Don't know why I didn't answer yours - luck of the draw, maybe I missed your post, maybe I passed on answering because it's not my forte. I'll have a look.

You're in a different state from him? And he doesn't know your address? I'd stop worrying. If the amount he might sue you for fits under the small claims limit, he'd need to sue you in your home state. And he'd need to find you to do that. Even if it's a regular civil suit, he'd need to...

By whom? This sounds like homework.

I don't see what grounds you have for appeal. Sounds like you made a tactical error in not getting representation. But sure, go for it. You might try posting this in the autos/traffic/tickets forum. That's really what this is about.
