Can't you make a general objection that the items requested are not relevant? I can't imagine any of these are and I remember doing something with the general code that it had to be relevant. The other attorney also tried to dump me with 1000 questions and have me spend the rest of my life...

Why don't you evict her? Additionally, isn't there something in the lease that would allow you to enter?

Are you saying that a company can have a patent on the genes themselves or the process to uncover genes? How can anybody own a gene? It would be like someone owning the rights to an oak tree wouldn't it? :eek: :confused:

Never have an open bottle of beer in your car. Doesn't matter whether you are driving or not. I think it would give the police reasonable cause to suspect a possible violation of law.

Having the realtor's people certify things that seemed to be a problem makes me wonder about whether they did a thorough job.

It doesn't make sense to me that there would be a requirement that every state a corporation is located should require the exact same policy. What happens if there isn't the same policy to offer? I would think that there might be something in your corporate handbook that will tell you the...

Who was left the house in your sister's will?

Evidence rules depend upon the jurisdiction of where the case is taking place. While sometimes good evidence is precluded, the rules are constructed to basically prevent abuses.

We handle it the same way michael said he does. We don't moderate our boards and provide open membership to anyone that wants to participate. Nothing prevents anyone from suing us though! Nobody can prevent that.

Are you a collections agency? I think they may be forbidden in that industry from using them.

That sounds like a pretty good argument that you may want to add to the argument of compensation. If you lose on compensation hopefully you'll win on the space and have a net loss of zero, or at least close to it!!!:D

State laws can vary and you have to check with what state you are in to determine what the law is if someone dies intestate. If your sister was alive at the time of your father's death, that would probably also affect the outcome of distribution of assets because then it seems your sister would...

So the employees paid the premiums and the company was supposed to cover the insurance with Cigna as administrator but Cigna said that since the company was bankrupt there was no money to pay out.... it makes sense to know who your insurer is. If this was unknown to the employees and sold to you...

What cases are cited. If they are state of federal cases that aren't very current you could probably gain access at a law library that may be made available at your courthouse or at a law school in your area. The bar association is a good place to contact. Here is their web site, which also...

I was wondering what laws there might be against dog biting. I live in New York and had a friend that was bitten by someone's dog at the park. It was on a leash but he was sitting next to the person on a bench.

Ours says that if the company defaults they are liable for the basic payment throughout the agreement. So if you have a $1200 contract with $100 per month and they breach in month 6, they are liable for the next $600. It doesn't get you everything but it does allow you to collect more of a share...

My friend went through this stuff too with her boyfriend she met at work. She hired a lawyer to look into it after she realized she wasn't going to be comfortable at work because of it. Her lawyer contacted her employer and they settled after her lawyer really pushed the issue. They knew what...

That's a real tough one and sorry to hear. :( If he has a legitimate case then it is difficult to say he is abusing his position, wouldn't you say? If he wasn't an attorney but hired one, then it isn't his position that he is abusing, just possibly common sense or decency. With attorneys...

Sue the bastard. But here is a good idea -- report this as a theft to the police. While you may have a civil case to recover monetary damages, this is theft of your property. Now you have leverage.

I don't understand. If your Dad wanted something why did he set up his will this way? Not to be unsympathetic, but it just doesn't sound like a loophole to me if everyone knew that she was entitled to this if your Dad died. It would be simple to just put in the will what he wanted, isn't it?
