Sure. Just about anything is possible. Who is it that gave or intends to give this notice? Have the parties assented to service by email (pursuant to Rule 2.251 of the California Rules of Court)? What do you mean "run out of room"? Are you talking about the case management statement...

Odds? This isn't Vegas. Absent some argument why the driver isn't liable, you'll be entitled to reimbursement of medical expenses and lost wages and the lesser of the cost to repair whatever a "longboard" is or its fair market value at the time of the accident. Unless you were injured, no.

Under New York law, when a person dies without a will and is survived by a spouse and descendants, the surviving spouse receives the first $50k and half of everything else, while the descendants divide the other half. When there are children but no surviving spouse, everything goes to the...

I think, but am not at all sure, that you're asking whether the date you mentioned is the date when the statute of limitations began to run. The answer to that question is no. A statute of limitations begins to run on the date on which the cause of action accrues. In the case of credit card...

I note that you didn't ask a question Isn't it possible (likely even) that the (likely minimum wage) employee, instead of having lied, made an honest mistake? Class actions don't work based on assumptions, but feel free to consult with some local law firms that handle class actions and see...

I'd swear there was a virtually identical post about a year ago.

My thoughts are somewhat between those of the prior two responses but much closer to those of "adjusterjack." Note that the threat is something that your wife ought to discuss with her agent when she acquires business insurance (of, if she's already done that, she should call the insurer and...

That's for you to decide based on the potential penalties (as mentioned in the second response) and the potential collateral consequences (as mentioned in the third response). I think you meant to write "not involved." Whether the USCG will refer the matter to any state authority is something...

You answered your own question: "Part of that fee ($76) was for them to place an ad (required by their own by-laws) in a newspaper." No one here could begin to answer these questions intelligently. "Safe"? It's not unsafe. Is it a fair description? No. Sounds more like someone made a...

Because it is a registered trademark, there is a presumption that is enforceable. If you're asking for predictions what would happen if someone challenged the mark for genericism, there is no way anyone here could intelligently predict that. All I can say is that your argument is not, on its...

I didn't respond when you first started, so I'll try to catch up. Let's start here. Simply being "designated" in a will to be personal rep does not make that person personal rep. Has he been appointed by the probate court to act as PR? If so, did he post a bond? If so, when was the...

Did you read my prior response? "I'd say there's about a 0.00000000000001% chance of that happening."

Wasn't there a virtually identical thread within the last day that the mods locked? What is the antecedent of "it" in this sentence? This question raises no legal issue, but I'd say there's about a 0.00000000000001% chance of that happening. No. Like, as if. Well...just be careful the...

This question seems more a matter of practicalities than a question of law. Obviously, we have no possible way of knowing what sort of order the "disciplinary commission" in the unidentified country might issue. The subject header of your post mentions a "small claims ruling," but your actual...

This is esoteric and particularly local, and there's no way that anyone on an internet message board is going to have this sort of knowledge. You'll have to consult with a local attorney.

There is no crime in Oregon (or most states) called "sexual assault." There are several laws under the heading of "sexual offenses" (see the link below), but a mere attempted kiss doesn't even come close to falling within any of them. At common law, assault was defined as an intentional act...

Perhaps I'm not understanding this question, and putting aside the issue of whether this is a good idea, but is there any reason to believe that 1/12th (or 1/14th) ownership wouldn't be equitable? Are you simply asking us (a bunch of anonymous strangers) whether, if this happens, ownership...

It's worth pointing out that, prior to January 1, 1978, the word DID have meaning as a verb since the Copyright Acts of 1870 and 1909 required formalities to secure a copyright (e.g., publication with notice and registration).

FWIW, I look at Black's maybe once every other year, so I don't really feel the need to get a new copy. Those references to a verbal form don't explain what the definition is. In other words, what does it mean to "copyright" something? As explained, people seem to use it to refer to...

I already explained my rationale, but I'll point out that the copy of Black's that I have in my office (abridged 5th ed.) only has "copyright" as a noun, and the same is true of the online version. If you've got a version of Black's that has a definition of the word as a verb, I'd be curious...
