Typically there are laws to deal with the issue you describe. I won't make any representations about Australian law but as a matter of public policy there may some protection afforded to her such as doctor patient privileges. Have you reached out to the hospital? I'd have to guess that they have...

Having had a great discussion with the good people at several martial arts forums, it appears that these issues typically arise at martial arts schools that sell long term contracts (of at least 1 year) and are commonly referred to as "McDojos." It was likely coined to refer to franchising...

There really is nothing to say at the moment except your lawyer will ask the same questions all of us have - "show me proof of the licensing rights you have to have done and claim the things you do about my own creative work." At that point you'll probably hear an answer attempting to justify...

My question would be who actually made the call to the police, replete with the false accusations? I don't see any statement that it was the retail establishment. Perhaps it was someone else in the store calling 911. I don't feel like we're hearing the whole unabridged story.

You hit the nail on the head. At the moment I am crafting an article on how to read martial arts school and health club / gym membership contracts with an educated eye. A friend of mine called me up after discovering that she was also signed to a long term Karate contract with some very...

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.
