Did you discuss the issue of the missed payment? I tend to find that most of the time the vendor is usually understanding about a one time problem, especially if there is a switch in the notification method.

Agreed. I think the form says to list which existed so the statements could be viewed as a multiple choice question and only the above mentioned statement could be the one to include.

I deal with international law. In essence, your question involves the copyright law of each jurisdiction and a reference to the Berne Convention which is a treaty of several dozen countries and is also explained in this topic on the Berne Convention and copyright law. Much of the time...

I can sympathize with the property owner as I'm assuming that many would believe that what seems like a harmless permission at the time shouldn't have permanent application. A mistake was made and it doesn't seem you should lose your rights of control. I would be careful about this situation...

This is a very easy question to answer if you're seeking content removal. First look at Facebook's own terms of use or "community standards" which I am confident will cover a situation such as this one. You don't usually have to get to copyright law because Facebook has fenced rules which cover...

In New York City we have something possibly worse. Mayor Bill de Blasio calls it a "vision zero" policy to prevent fatalities from speeding, reducing the already slow 30 MPH on major roadways (including major boulevards) to a glacial 25 MPH. It cost millions of dollars to create and install new...

I don't think it is the same at all and it seems that the first sentence may apply based upon what you've said: "Petitioner was released by the Court and the arrest/charge is no longer pending and never resulted in final conviction." I have found often that when a person is working on a legal...

Agreed and the police aren't necessarily in any position to make such a determination. But the police may decide to take a drive to see if they can settle the matter amicably, especially if it might involve a legitimate complaint and someone who may not dispute the allegations. From the way it...

That's a difficult question, especially since it is a mark which is also the name of a famous literary character. Given the money behind the mark, I'm not surprised to see letters sent to you. I can't tell you what you can or can't do since I (nor any of us) know enough about your use and what...

The mayor (president elect) is trying to push certification through quickly and he's actually only months away. He's seeking the green light while he is still in term. I was surprised too but it was rather surprising how easy it seems to have been to spend (literally) what appears to be well...

You mentioned that the dog has a microchip implant in your name. Did you mention this to the police? If so, did you try to file a complaint for theft of the dog? What did the police officer say to you?

This is true. As I stated, not paying the last month's rent (and relying upon the security deposit) is technically a breach of the terms of virtually all leases I have seen. What some have done (when they leave with the premises is reasonable condition and as per the lease terms) with regard to...

If it's in my part of town he'll need to wait 10 years for our (potentially) new multi-billion dollar jails to be completed. I may write an article about our Mayor's new criminal justice reform plan which has New York City spending over $10 billion to construct jails that some have likened to...

Read the words of the judgment in your case. It is possible that the matter was fully adjudicated at that time and that all current (and future bills) were taken into account although we simply do not know. Anyone can file a lawsuit and make allegations. And you can defense, as @mightymoose...

Glad to hear that the charges were dropped. Without saying more about the case, if you were charged for what may have been a scheme to defraud by someone else (e.g. your former employer) and you spent six days in jail as a result, the civil side of the case is that you may wish to consider...

There are a couple of trademark issues which need to be identified. First is the class of the mark, which it seems may be completely different. Having a trademark for shoes doesn't by itself prevent anyone else from registering the same mark for food products. Another issue you've identified is...

Did you receive an email from a company or from their attorney? Was there a registration listed in the letter, e.g. federal or state trademark? Cease and desist letters are sent often in the hope that the user will be scared enough into ceasing their activities and handing over property as if...

If you have a private banker (which many banks offer), they should have responsibility for advising clients on their accounts and you should certainly follow up with the bank since it doesn't reflect well on the bank. I think most people would believe what their private bankers tell them about...

Just adding something that I hear often from landlord tenant disputes - an attempt to justify why the landlord should be entitled to keep a lease security deposit. Some tenants decide to use the security deposit as rent for the final month, which is typically a breach of the lease (and which is...

While having all that farmland sounds terrific (and good for you!) last I recall there isn't any legal custody standard of "best interests of the dog." The law generally treats pets as property and you may need to use the court system to establish who actually owns the dog. How is a police...
