Law & Ethics - September 2006

If I am suing someone who has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, is it correct that a stay is entered on my claim? If so, how long does teh stay last? Is there anything that I need to do to protect my interests (e.g. register as a creditor somehow)?

My fiance has various misdemeanors from when he was younger.
He was doing drugs at the time but has been clean for years. He wants a better life for himself, and I. With a good job, and sometime in the future buying a home. How can he do these things with his past criminal record?

Is there anything he can do to clear his criminal record?
Does it clear from minor things after a certain amount of years?

I know this will cause controversial responses, and please note that my opinion is not yet formed, hence the question.

Overweight people cost the NHS £4.6Billion a year through treatment, rehab, care, special home equipment and death. This is serious money that could be reinvested into education, health care and other vital resources that are shockingly underfunded.

A few weeks ago I went to this resort in / near Miami Florida. The last night I was there I was sleeping when this giant picture / picture frame hit me in the head when I was sleeping. Besides waking me up, it gave me one hell of a nasty bruise on my forehead, I took pictures of my forehead and pictures of the wall and picture / picture frame and went back to bed, I was going to forget it, but I'm still getting the occasional REALLY bad headache..... what should I do?

Not that I would ever do it, nor would I have sex with a prostitute. But what's the big deal? It's two people making a business arrangement and both know the possible consequences of their actions. So who cares if she charges money?
