If there is a failure of a condition subject to which the offer was made, then the offer cannot be accepted and therefore no contract. However if a statement is a term of a contract or a misrepresentation then the remedies are different. But how do you get there if the contract was conditional in the first place?

Do you really think that ONLY soldiers in the the military should be willing to DIE for our freedoms and liberties?-I can't believe the cowards, the SHEEP! that have no business being a part of this country, to go along with the government, taking freedoms liberties and privacy, from us, using security as an a excuse! Cowards have no principals

A client ask you for help in a financial merger situation. You decline because the matter is outside your expertise and refer the company to a fellow practitioner who is knowledgeable in financial affairs. The fellow practitioner is so appreciative he sends you a check for$500.

in my personal point of view, Israel has no right do defend themselves because they are invaders of a land that was meant for all to enjoy.
presidents of the USA have constantly said that "israel have the right to defend themselves"...but against what?
the people who they stole, freedom, lives,and a right to hapiness from?
they are cowards, they fight while hiding in armored tanks, they kill from planes...against people who are farmers, mothers, teachers...people who only want peace.
there are atleast hundred of thousands of children and women killed every year.
children who just are too inoccent to realized tht they are in a warzone...children who want to sleep at night knowing that the next day they can live to see the day ahead.
what can you say or do to erase a memory of a child to see their parents head discarded from their body, their limbs all over the place...their house turned to a grave?
this is no justice, this is wrong...it better that no child could ever live than to see

Does any one else feel that the Govenment is using "Safety" and "Security" as reasons to take away Freedom, Liberty, and Privacy away from the American People? Do you ever feel the government is trying to ease in control like the Gestapo of Nazi Germany?

I pre paid a body/paint shop $9,000 to work on my cars that I left with him along with many parts.They were to be finished over a year ago. Now he has taken my cars and hidden them and wants another $7,500 and is going to sell my cars if I do not pay him. All my money is in those classic cars. He has cost me thousands in lost sales of these cars. and I dont want him to get away with this.I last saw the cars in July 05 when I gave him a final extension to complete the work he had been paid for. When I went to get them in November he gave me the ultimatum to pay up or loose the cars,which are worth over $80,000 when restored

I slipped on a patch of ice in a municipal parking lot and broke my leg. There were witnesses (who drove me to the e/r). I called the town to report the accident, and they stated that since this was an act of "mother nature" they were not responsible. I lost 1 month from work, and have paid out a few hundred dollars in doctors bills, etc. I don't want to "sue the town" for a large settlement; I only want to get back the money I lost. Any suggestions other than hiring an attorney to do it for me? I don't want to seem like a sleazy gold-digger. Thanks!

Got pulled over by some dudes that looked real grungy, driving a nice car. They gave us an attitude, threatened to arrest us, and said theyd let us go if they coul search us and the car. Thing is, they never stated who they were, who they worked for or showed us any kind of ID. Can they do that?

So I've been reading a lot about how the government has so much power to get any kind of information that they want from someone. If that means by tracking gps enabled cell phones, tapping conversations, intercepting emails, or text messages, they can do it, even to innocent people? Did citizens turn over all their civil liberties out of fear, or I am not interpreting this correctly? What can be done to correct this?

My bad roommate is an alcoholic and marijuana smoker. When drunk he has recently endangered the lives of all the tenants in the building. He left the stovetop gas running twice in a 4 day span. My other roommate and I asked him to leave and he agreed he would. I have been at the residence the longest (~3 years) and have all the bills in my name. In fact, my bad roommate has not paid full bill money since December.

However, now the bad roomie has threatened that he might not move out and might force us out. He claims he can do this after speaking with his lawyer (Im sure that is just a drunk scare tactic). He is listed on the apartment lease as am I and my other good roommate. The apartment is too cool for me to leave and like I said, I've been there the longest and have all the bills in my name.

Any thoughts?

the police came over and after asking us if we're okay, they immediately ask me if we're doing anything illegal or if we have any illegal substances. I say no, and we really aren't and don't have anything. The two officers proceed to the basement and question my friends, one takes out his flashlight, flashes it in their eyes and aimlessly on the floor (this room is lighted.) He then opens a closet door without permission and flashes his light around. They then stick around for 20 minutes for no real reason. When they leave, they have the nerve to remind us about a sound ordinance at 10 pm. This is all beccause of a band practice that accidentally set off the panic alarm that goes directly to the police. Can I file a complaint?

I am intending to set up a online stall selling clothes. My partner and I have decided to go to Aust to buy some goods back. However, I am wondering if it is against the law if I were to sell them in my country.

The clothings are Australian brand. So I do not know if it is illegal if I take them back to sell.

P.S. The brands are only sold locally, not to the other parts of the world. I'm from Singapore.
