As the OP has described the problem, this is not a tort issue. The problem is simply that the Building Department hasn't taken any action on the request for 2+ years and the OP wants to get the court to order that the Building Department issue that determination now rather than waiting any...
It's not injunctive relief you'd need to seek in your lawsuit. You'd sue for a writ of mandamus. "Ordinarily the legal action of mandamus is the proper remedy to compel the performance of an official act by a public officer." Heron v. Garcia, 1944-NMSC-058, ¶ 9, 48 N.M. 507, 153 P.2d 514, 515...
The man is fortunate the incident occurred in Texas. In some other states he'd be facing at least some kind of charge because of this. The prosecutor believed that some kind of crime was committed by the grand jury elected not to indict him. Texas law and its citizens seem to be more forgiving...
That's a fantastic video. Most of them put into modern clothes look very much like today's politicians. This shows just how far AI has gone in just two short years. The potential of AI is both exciting and scary. When it becomes so good that we no longer can tell reality from fiction we may in...
Humans have always liked to fight over things, whether great or insignificant. If that ever changes it'll be long, long after all of us have departed this earth. Should it occur in that far off time, hopefully wherever my spirit is will be able to have a peek at that civilization to see what a...
Both parties have failed now for the 30 years to reform the immigration code to meet our present needs. Both parties instead have used immigation as a wedge issue to flog the other side. If the American people want a fair, effective, and humane immigration policy we need to vote nearly every...
It's a good practice to see the invoice for these kinds of services before you pay the provider. They'll be a lot more amenable to providing an invoice that's legible and has all the information you need on it.
Threatening to sue the locksmith might get the guy to give you a better...
The stories of these scammers all follow a similar pattern. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Creativity is not one of their strong points. It doesn't have to be. The vulnerable who respond to the first one they see won't know about the others. They won't know that this is...
When it comes to regulation of tech Congress is always behind. That's not so much a criticism as it a reflection of how tech is evolving so quickly that it's hard for anyone not in that race to keep up. I'm sympathetic to what OpenAI is saying. But what we need is for Congress to focus on the...
So Open AI's main argument is that it ought to be able to violate U.S. copyright law because the Chinese violate it? That's not a great argument. If the court does what it is supposed to do, which is make rulings based on the law, what the Chinese are doing shouldn't be a factor in the Court's...
A cease and desist letter asks the recipient to stop engaging in some ongoing activity in the future. That's not going to be helpful if your concern is a recording already made. Under federal and Ohio privacy laws for the recording to be illegal the recorded conversation must one in which there...
I don't see it as vague at all. It's a common provision when modifying a prior order that only the parts of prior orders that are expressly changed by the order are affected and any order that is not expressly modified by that order remains in effect. For this reason, when proposing a...
Like any tool, one should throughly understand how it works and how to properly use it before jumping in to use it. Lawyers in particular should understand that. Unfortunately, the AI has come on so fast that everyone seems to be afraid if they don't jump on the bandwagon they'll get left...
