Incredible that I have just performed a Google search to be led to this topic on questionable martial arts schools practices and confirmed a very sad and ongoing practice. The small print in this agreement says in very small print "I understand that I am signing a contract/note which may be...

You need to differentiate between (i) the Craigslist website and its owners; and (ii) users of Craigslist who may be scammers, abusers and useless nuisances who need better things to do with their time. And consider the value of what you receive based upon how much you pay for Craigslist...

Defamation claims require a false statement. An opinion may not qualify as a false statement. But courts can also use the impact on the reader or listener as to whether a statement intended to be an opinion was taken as fact and thus qualify as a false statement for a defamation lawsuit. Next...

Just noticed this topic and have something to add. I don't know what you signed or you may have been told you should have seen. Many of these tow truck facilities have either written into their short contracts or have signs in the front of their offices about specific charges or what they can...

The fact is you're using an avatar from someone's video and if what you were saying was true, you wouldn't have bothered making the effort to post the question. You received some answers but just don't understand them. I'm also guessing that you've paraphrased the legal questions that were...

In some courts a verified pleading will general require a verified response and amendments are usually permissible for a variety of technical defects. It's possible one copy may have been misplaced. Imagine what the courts would be like if there was no remedy for such situations. It's not going...

Technically the used car buyer would owe you $7,500 and be required to make good on the check. Canceling the check does not absolve a used car buyer of making payment on a done deal, even though you may have to make additional efforts to enforce the agreement. I'm not sure why you'd offer to...

It seems as though the original poster may have owned a business, sole proprietor or even a small business LLC, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and went through the process without listing the lawsuit. One has to wonder whether the company was even dissolved, which would be rather ironic in the...

Leaving my own personal opinions aside about the world of inventions, physics, inevitability and patent law, I can tell you that patent prosecution is an art in itself. And for you to succeed in being granted a patent you need to investigate fully prior to prosecuting a patent as to whether...

1. We have no idea what law or jurisdiction to which you are referring. My guess is you're referring to Australia or New Zealand law using a public trustee. Here we have probate court and a different process. 2. The question itself is confusing and seems ridiculous. If the home was already...

In short, if the plaintiff isn't actually the party injured, the case can be dismissed because the wrong party brought a lawsuit. But to be frank, I have no idea what is going on any more. I haven't seen the complaint and all that the dispute encompasses. If it is in small claims court, expect...

Talk about the story changing dramatically over discussion. So this is really a landlord tenant matter and whether you were a guest or a tenant with an oral lease. Did you ever have any agreement to pay rent? Who was the landlord? Why would they just allow you to live rent free? What is your...

I'm even more confused now. So the dog in question was (a) born in your home; and (b) whose progenitors / parents were indisputably owned by your ex-girlfriend who provided you with a bill of sale. So who is this third party claiming that they own the dog? Is this someone who claims that the...

Agreed. To elaborate since I didn't have time, it depends upon what you're specifically referring (such as the encouraged "reserve account") and also these cases are fact specific. You may be referring to this law: Washington State Law, Title 64, Chapter 64.38 Chapter 64.38 RCW HOMEOWNERS'...

We must be missing a great deal from this story. Let's begin with all the relevant facts as to why there is a case worker, why these children have been placed with you within the past year and the circumstances surrounding why these restrictions are being imposed.

Speak to your homeowners association. There is usually no hard and fast rule that applies to all HOAs.

The failure to police the presence of marijuana on campus is an ongoing act. I'm not sure that the other acts would fall under the school's responsibility if they are just individual incidents of harassment by different students as opposed to a repeating pattern of harassment by the same...

First of all... do not despair. The worst thing you can do is to have no hope that something may not change. It might not be immediate but hopefully you'll get there and there are options - it just may take longer. And you will get there. And perhaps applying for asylum may be a successful...

If the title is in your name then technically it's your car. And just because he may have forcibly removed you from your home (perhaps a lockout) doesn't mean he can do so legally. I agree with all the advice above and seeing if a payment plan can be arranged with a divorce attorney would...

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I'd have to say double that the only way to appreciate the nature of your options is to have a legal consultation with a local attorney. Everything is fact specific. However you will probably need to consider the costs if a contingency fee cannot be...
