You can bring the child in under "emergency admissions for immediate observation, care and treatment." This is inpatient, and can last for several days. The hard part is getting her to the hospital. I'd call first to make sure there are people there to greet her. any other questions?

So I did a little poking around the labor laws specific to CA and here is the relevant stuff I found: -They can give you mandatory OT up to 6 days a week, but not 7. -Nothing that I found says the employer has to accept a call in.

I would file a complaint with the state department of labor. When the company finds out they are being looked into for this man's policy of harassing his employees, the hire ups are going to flip. At this point you will also fall under whistle blower laws, which prevent action being taken...

The NY state troopers now have similar "plate readers." This all hinges on 4th amendment rights and the reasonable expectation of privacy. Court after court has decided that citizens have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding their license plates. They are constantly right out in the...

Absent fraud, no one in this country goes to jail because they cannot satisfy a debt.

The only way you're ever getting around that waiver is if the dog had a history of vicious behavior and the kennel knew about it when taking it in. Similarly, the owners of the dog are not going to be responsible for dropping the dog off at the kennel unless they somehow knew that there was a...

Bingo. Annulments are hairy.

I doubt strict liability is triggered here. Strict liability is not triggered every time a minor is involved, but rather when the actions of the defendant are abnormally dangerous. Typically this is only in product liability cases, or if a neighbor owns a wild tiger or something. Obviously that...

If this woman is a private homeowner simply renting an apartment, as opposed to a "professional landlord," then she can deny an apartment for whatever reason she chooses, even if it is discriminatory. I think the standard is owner occupied with less than 4 apartments. Professional landlords are...

I think I should expand my cause argument a bit, because it could help clear some things up for this poster and those lurking in the shadows looking for answers. And since I am sitting here getting over the flu, I've got some extra time. A negligence action has 4 basic elements: duty, breach...

Gruzen v. Henry is in regards to a specific ordinance in Pasadena that required the landlord to secure a certificate of occupancy. In order for Gruzen to apply here, San Francisco would have to have a similar ordinance--I don't know whether or not they do. Gruzen does not address the implied...

That would depend on how many people are living in the apartment, as well as the square footage and number of bedrooms. If it is a "normal" sized apartment and he lives alone, then no, the landlord cannot do that. If he has roommates, it gets a little more complicated. More information would...

It would have to be some pretty egregious stuff going on for you to be liable for not reporting anything. Even if a suit were to come up, the plaintiff's attorney wouldn't sue you. Here's why: let's say you and the homeowner are held joint and severally liable. Then you owed 50 thousand bucks...

You can be reimbursed the cost of a reasonably priced stone. I don't know the market value of stones, but if you are looking at a high-priced one then you may only be reimbursed for a portion. I don't think he could actually have the stone removed though. That said, tailored legal advice...

This is perfectly legal. So long as your father was of sound mind when he created the will, there are two witnesses to the will, and the authenticity of the will is not in question, then they would not succeed in contesting the will.

Harris is probably right, but there is one thing that concerns me here. In a negligence case you have to prove that there was a duty and it was breached, but you also have to prove that the breach was the proximate cause of injury. In other words, could this just as easily have happened on...

IF this is true then yes you can sue. You were not a party to the agreement, but you are prejudiced by the actions of your mother and have standing to bring the action to court.

As an at-will employee, you can be discharged for any reason your employer sees fit, so long as it does not violate any federal labor laws. Being fired for not showing up on a scheduled work day is not a wrongful termination, nor is being fired for complaining to supervisors about overtime, nor...

I disagree. There seems to be no breach of any duty on the part of the city. Even if you did think you were right, the amount of money it would cost to litigate would easily crush any cost benefit to bringing a suit. I think you are stuck.

Your sister is a minor and can be "placed" into certain facilities by the court. Many of these places have rules about contacting family members. Unfortunately, the rules are legal, and endorsed by the court. Is she a PINS or JD?
