Very sorry to hear about your problem and hope things work out for you. However, getting a PIN reset by a bank is nowhere near as simple as just calling a phone number on the back of a debit or credit card. They must have a series of KYC (know your customer) processes and procedures before just...

A highly publicized complaint filed by by US Labor Relations Board (NLRB) against Home Depot Inc. for taking issue with workers' asserting rights to wear Black Lives Matter (BLM) to protest against racial harassment was dismissed by administrative law judge, Paul Bogas. The NLRB argued in the...

I do think this one is quite different and distinguishable, though. This seems to be a copyright renewal question. More details are posted by the Washington Post - the question being whether the sequel is a derivative work of the first, which it certain appears to be. As a result, there...

Jack - I completely appreciate from where you're coming. There is certainly a whiff of inspiration and a song title that might be more readily associated with Vance, whose version I happen to like better. I'm guessing it is also his top hit and bread and butter. This article resonated with...

As to the law school and the student body itself, the CUNY Law Student Demands included the following argument, which I have not heard before: "Commit to making CUNY Law an LSAT-optional institution and retiring any policies that ask Admissions to make their decisions based on a desired median...

This is fascinating. Some of the lawsuits in copyright infringement of music can be rather preposterous, in my opinion as a musician, given the limitations of the musical spectrum, regardless of how diverse it can appear. There is also the fact that inspiration will come from so many sources...

I appreciate and respect the earlier concern. However, I have reopened this thread seeing that this issue concerning CUNY School of Law is appearing repeatly in many New York City publications and is a legitimate discussion topic related to law and the legal system here in the U.S. For anyone...

@adjusterjack - I think virtually all lawyers would tend to be interested in cases that involve Deep Pockets.

I'm a little confused by this post, which I just read. If the poster's bank (Chase) didn't wire the money because the order was confused, then the money is at Chase bank. If the money was able to be wired directly to the proper recipient bank, then the party with the money should have the...

@adjusterjack puts it perfectly about wanting the money back - and to add - trying to recover as much of it as possible. Motives likely include leverage for legal maneuvering. Even when terms of an agreement may be clearly stated, it doesn't mean people will abide by what many may feel is...

We have COVID-19 mask mandate issues in my building. Regardless of whether the building is a co-op, condo or rental, nobody is likely to give you any firm opinion as to the legality of mask mandates until a court actually rules on such a case. I have heard the opinions of several landlord...

As others have mentioned, this is likely a fact specific case since probation terms are unknown to us and may be specific to your case. In New York, reckless driving is presumed for speeds that exceed 30 MPH above the speed limit. You were very close. Even assuming your probation officer...

Not surprising. It appears to be a larger carrier part of a major ISP. However, there are many fly by night companies that have been notorious for this in the space. Very happy to hear it was resolved and thanks for letting us know.

I don't blame the OP for wanting the time and effort required to enforce these agreements and probably deserves it and perhaps might receive some extra compensation via customer support. I'm not sure what went on here but all too often these delayed payment offers are little more than a scam...

Nigel - great question. If mere inspiration was protected, there would be no ability to create as we create based upon a product of our experiences. My general feeling on this issue can be expressed by the artist who named their work of art "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Anyone confused that...

All good answers. This has now happened near me a couple of times. Unfortunately , there is virtually no scenario I can see where it makes sense for you to expend further efforts to recover the money as your investment will likely exceed the $100-200 return, if that is what you charged. Best...

This is an understandable anxiety. In the past year I have been completing work related to technology management where so many human functions are replaced by machines, computers, robots, etc. and there is a question of what is the net overall loss - is it fewer jobs available or fewer of...

You've got me curious. I'm going to have to pull the case. I've always had a difficult time with some of these cases, especially pop songs that aren't especially complex, e.g. My Sweet Lord, etc.

While not the same cat, pretty remarkable survival story: Cat missing in Florida condo collapse found alive

This was my initial reaction - government being perceived as the deep pockets to compensate when the primary actor responsible cannot. The government was not a co-conspirator or involved in any way with the initiative by the perpetrator. The government happened to be just one of several...
