You didn't really answer my question, but it sounds like what's happening is permissible under the applicable law. "Guidelines" and "codes of ethics" don't have the weight of law. As mentioned previously, human resources is where you should be looking.

I want to start with these two statements. What are the "industry code" and "national practice regulations." The practice of medicine, which therapists fall within, is typically governed at the state level. Please cite the law that requires this. You've indicated that you work for a school...

Yes, but there are many questions that need answering: 1. When was your divorce judgment entered? 2. What exactly does your divorce judgment say about selling the house? Specifically, I'm wondering if it sets any sort of deadline for the sale. If it does, what is the deadline? 3. When did...

While I disagree with the cynicism in the prior response, it's best to assume that NOTHING in the workplace is confidential. If you really want to be confidential, create a gmail address from a public computer and make the report.

Et tu....

I can't even conceive why you would think you might get to live rent free.

Doubtful, but impossible to know without reading. Of course, it's very simple to stop this stuff from happening by blocking this person, changing your phone number, etc. Nifty. Do you or do you not have the means to pay a lawyer a $20,000 deposit against fees to be incurred? If so, go for it.

Why don't you ask him what he meant? And, by the way, the quoted language isn't "lawyer speak."

OK...that's a valid basis for a judgment (although it isn't worth much $$). However, everything else I wrote stands. There's no basis for jurisdiction in the U.S., and it will cost you more than you could possibly recover to sue in the UK or France.

I see absolutely no basis for personal jurisdiction in a U.S. court, so any suit would have to be brought in France, where she lives, or in the UK, where the alleged "abuse" occurred (and note that I asked how she "abused" you but you didn't answer that). I also see virtually no substantive...

Looks like you used the wrong tense here, but anyone can sue anyone for anything. I can sue Mickey Mouse for murdering Adolf Hitler. They have courts in France, so of course you can sue her. What??!! "Break up with" a "friend" who lives in France (while you live in Pennsylvania)? You...

This question makes no sense (or at least everything after the word "lawsuit" doesn't make sense). Filing a lawsuit is easy. Winning is not. Don't be a tool online.

You tell us. If I were in your situation, the clerical error would cause me to buy a policy from another insurer. That has nothing to do with what's happening to you.

Putting aside the fact that anyone can sue anyone for anything, you can't possibly be serious. Did you make any effort to ascertain what "defamation" and "fraud" mean before asking this question? Defamation is the publication of a false statement of fact to at least one person other than the...

So what? That is an utterly meaningless statement. While that may be factually true (depending on the nature of the medical treatment), it's legally irrelevant. The insurance company doesn't pay the co-pay or deductible, and the question is about the patient's inability to pay those things...
