Wal-Mart has the right to bar you from going to their stores for however long they want. So I would not risk it, because you can be sued for trespass and possibly charged also with criminal trespass if you do.

It depends on where a lawsuit would be filed and on what it would be based. I assume it is based on a contract. If the suit would be filed in New York (if you are living in New York) and so far no suit has ever been filed on this matter the statutory limitation is six years. However, if...

Well, the burden of proof, as in every criminal trial, is that the jury or the judge have to be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused has committed the crime. The prosecutor basically has to prove two things: a) that a crime has been committed b) that the crime has been...

I still don't understand the Tijuana thing, it doesn't make any sense. If you live in Canada, the embassy in Ottawa or the consulates in Toronto and other cities are the places to go. Are you sure he didn't say Toronto? And yes, every visa has an expiration date, usually you have to use the...

in many apartment complexes the landlord-owner himself is required to require the insurance by the CC&Rs of the homeowner association. A short while ago I bought an apartment in a complex to rent it out and lo and behold among the thousands of little rules and harassments the homeowner...

If this guy lives in PA then you are kind of lucky, because you can sue for $ 8000 in Small Claims Court. The only thing is, you need to sue him where he lives, so you have to travel there probably twice (once for filing the suit and once for the hearing). In PA the SC courts are called...

well, it sounds to me you have a pretty good case against the guy. You could of course go to an attorney and sue the guy. You also could try to do it without an attorney, what is called "pro se", but you should get informed very well if you want to try that. There are some books on the market...

it depends on where your "domicile" is, which most times means, where you live. If you live in Virginia and work there and have been living there for at least 6 months you can file there. If she lives in Germany as has been living there at least 6 months she can file there. While it is...

same answer as before: you can still sue her in Iowa for breach of contract, she most probably would be found liable for any damage you have. If you find the same flute now somewhere else for lets say $ 200 more than the final auction price was, you can buy it and your damage would be the $ 200...

Well, I assume you already have tried the talking and reasoning approach. Then let him know the law: it is trespass to let his dog onto your land and he can be sued in civil court and he will be liable for damages. You should record and, for evidence, may be video every time the dog is on...

Well, you are right to be frustrated. The problem is, our law is pretty old and did just not envision the possibilities of the computer age, where we trade across a continent by the click of the mouse. If you think about it, the rules of jurisdiction actually are protecting people. If you...

While there might be a criminal law provision in your state making it a crime to filea false police report against someone, what you probably rather want to do is to sue in civil court. There is a tort called "Malicious prosecution." There are other torts that might be applicable, too, like...

I wish, but no. This is a summary of the FMLA: Synopsis of Law Covered employers must grant an eligible employee up to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period for one or more of the following reasons: for the birth and care of the newborn child of the employee...

Your case sadly is not that uncommon. There is one major pitfall and that is that you are "out of status" as soon as the divorce is finalized or your first spouse withdraws the petition! In other words: If you had been "in status", that is allowed to be in the U.S., only because of your...

Well, well, lets see: 1. The police will never get involved in things like that, this is a purely civil matter not involving any criminal law. 2. First of all, you have to look at your contract, your user agreements etc and find out what it says how those auctions are seen in the eye of...

I don't know any details about Canadian citizenship law, but if you already are a Canadian citizen all you normally need is a Canadian passport which you would get at the Canadian embassy or consulate in India. Call them to find out how to get one, or look it up on the web.

Tijuana?? Why in the world Tijuana? Were you married there? As to forms, most forms you find online: www.immigration.gov

as cbg says, most state traffic laws define their areas of appliccability not only to public roads but also to parking lots and other areas that are private, but accessible by the public.

it depends on what the law and the ticket say: If the law says only that you have to have insurance and the ticket is for driving without insurance, then proof of insurance is a defense and the ticket will be dismissed. If the law says you have to have insurance AND you have to carry...

If you sue for disparagement, first of all you have to be sure that what was said fits the definition of the tort elements, that is basically (1) it must be false (2) it must be disparaging and (3) he must have intented to cause damage to you. You have to prove all these elements. But in the...
