You don't sue in small claims to terminate or void your contract. You just terminate it. (Or, I guess, don't sign a new one.) There are two scenarios here in which you or ABC might go to court: 1) You think ABC Company should repay you for the months they provided no (or bad) service; 2)...

I'm not a California lawyer, but there is nothing per se illegal about a contract that provides it shall be renewed unless one of the parties decides not to renew. I don't know whether California has made such contracts illegal but I doubt it. Whether they can increase your rates depends on...

You can send them a "cease and desist" letter to quit spreading false information about you. They might just laugh it off, but at least you'll have your objection on record. And who knows, they might actually pay attention to it. Other than that, you don't have a lot of recourse unless you...

Come on, I can't do everything for you. Natural law is the participation by humans in eternal law; it is the law of nature and all things, including chickens, corporations, and Asians are bound by it. St. Thomas Aquinas, one of the great natural lawyers, in fact modified Aristotle's...

erik8tlw Asia Dear Sir: Re: Beauty Sdn Bhd shampoo claims We act for Beauty Sdn Bhd. We are advised that you have recently dragged our client's name and good reputation through the muck on, among other things, internet chat sites including www.thelaw.com with willful or reckless disregard...

"Discuss whether Baju Fashion is liable to pay Star Tailorshop for the stocks ordered by Aziz. Give reasons for your answer." Do you want a discussion, or an answer? BF is not liable to pay because ST knew or should have known that they were scheming and feuding deadbeats and could not be...

(a) No, chickens are wonderful animals and any corporate bylaw purporting to bar a company from investing in their farming is contrary to natural law and therefore void. (b) Yes. Courts are increasingly populated by activist judges bent on advancing the cause of animal rights activists and...

Who received the mortgage funds? Why is the signatory not the same as the mortgagor? Sounds fishy to me. You ask two separate questions: who the bank is going to go after, and whether they have a legal leg to stand on. As to the first, the bank will no doubt go after both, unless it is...

The law on social host liability varies from state to state. I don't know what it is in Michigan - you need to consult with a local lawyer to find out for sure. I understand it's more likely you might be liable if the guest consuming alcohol on your premises is a minor. Adults are thought to...

You don't have a case against the manufacturer unless you can prove the cat-scratcher post became possessed due to some negligence or malfeasance by the manufacturer. That might be a tough thing to prove - maybe it got possessed because the wood it was built from came from some Indian burial...

Agreed with armyjudge - not all mistakes are fraud. I would add that, if there is fraud, it would probably be on the part of the lien claimant (who told the law firm to file against the property) and not on the part of the law firm (who usually just follow instructions in these scenarios).

You're asking a question about the details of California civil procedure, and I don't think anyone here is expert in that. When you sue a corporation and are seeking depositions, usually the way it is done is you serve notice on the corporation, and the corporation chooses a representative to...

That depends on the terms of the lease. If it as an option to extend, at the discretion of the tenant, then the landlord has no say in the matter. It probably doesn't make it "voidable" - but whether or not the tenant's notice is effective as an extension depends on the terms of the agreement...

I'll echo what jharris said. I would add that they may be able to take your shares in the company to satisfy the judgment against you. But they can't simply take money out of the company unless you've commingled funds.

I am confused about exactly who did what. But assuming that the electrical was a fixture, it should have gone with the house and it was a breach of the sales agreement to remove it. The seller of the house needs to make it right or pay damages. If the electrical was removed by the person they...

I'm not sure of the exact terminology in your jurisdiction, but I suspect they don't "perfect their lien", they file their lien which thereby perfects their security interest. If they don't, they become unsecured. (Some places, a non-perfected security interest takes priority ahead of...

Not without a court order. If you don't want it you don't have to accept a transfer.

One word: prenup. Who cares how nuts he is if he has a 23-year-old concubine and she can't touch his money?

A&B signed personal guarantees with respect to specific credit instruments. However, the partnerships general indebtedness, of which those instruments are a part, also belongs to each partner personally. So the lender's first recourese is against the partnership (which borrowed the money)...

There is a concept known as "perfection", whereby a secured creditor takes the steps necessary to protect its position. Sounds your plaintiff may be secured but their security interest is not perfected.
