I live in Scotland and years ago we paid Fue Duty for a shared drive way. We bought our own Fue 1980 Around the 60's an owner sold a huge house, this was divided in to 2 flats ,didn't sell the ground. Since then it really means the owner of the ground and ourselves are the only ones with the right to use this driveway/lane. The owner of the ground is long since dead,his grandson inherited land. Umpteen planning applications have been turned down to build on this as amongst other things there is a main sewage pipe running through this and it is very close to a river. At one time it went to The Court of Appeal in Edinburgh but turned down. Now again planning permission is going to be applied for. My house was built around1890 and for building access, heavy plant would be required to go down where we have shared access, apart from other things there are huge old trees to be cleared. I have maintained for 36 yrs often rechipping, weeding etc. Can I claim from owner for maintainance?

We recently paid a person to do some body work on our 71 Mach1 Mustang.The job was not done, and this car as of now does not run. It ran excellent when it went into the body shop, to be painted . My question is, not only has this person who owns the body shop, was suppose to paint our car and fix some dents in it, has totally taken everything off or out. It dont run and the whole body color is primer. This person has done this as we can tell to alot of people, and was thrown out of 1 city because of this. We went to the courts to file a small claims on him and was told nothing can really be done. What would any of you's suggest, besides, finding this person alone and beating the money he owes us out of him.?

I have a friend that was keeping the office open late on saturday night and sayed some friends could wait with him while he did what he needed to do. In the evening some other people went to another floor and used the wrong toilets and now apparently has annoyed one of the supervisors. This may sound very strange but basically a very bitchy person is trying to find anything to make me feel like an idiot and is trying to make out for as long as he can that I'm getting someone fired for not much atall. I just wanted to be able to say back well actually there are rules of offical warning that go down first if any rules are broken and he cant just get fired like that for no reason. Over at least a 5 year period of time! Is that right?

A yes or no answer to both questions is fine. Please include the reason why or why not and your location.

I recently bought a used motorcycle from a guy that i found off of craigslists. On the website, he advertised the bike as a 1999. Even when I went with some friends that know a lot about bikes to purchase the bike from him, he was still saying it was a 1999. Anyways, we went through with the transaction. Not until the contract was signed and the money was in his hand did he hand me the title, which is understandable. But it was not until I got over to the DMV that I realized that the title said that the bike was a 1998, instead of a 1999 like he originally advertised. Now the guy won't return my calls or anything. Could I sue to to get back some of my money for this false advertisement? I only bookmarked ad and it is no longer on the site, and I never printed it out which now I realize was a very stupid move on my part. And the bike also had a few hundred dollars worth of repairs that needed to be done to it, but I know i probably couldn't get this money back because I bought it as-is.

This is what happened to a friend of mine:The supervisor of a privately contracted company discovered her employees committing a theft in the baggage ramp area and contacted law enforcement officers. X and Y were working the baggage ramp when they conspired and stole a digital camera. A witness, another employee, observed the two working the belly of the aircraft, loading baggage. He later saw them standing in front of their shared locker acting suspiciously. This behavior is suspicious because thieves in the past have hidden stolen items in their lockers.The digital camera was found in their shared locker. The later admitted that the camera had fallen out of one of the bags and they conspired to hide it in their locker.
Charges Filed / Max Jail / Max Fines:
PC 484 (a) Petty Theft / 6 months / $1,000
PC 485 Misappropriation of Property / 6 months / $1,000
182(a)(4) Conspiracy / 1 yr / $10,000
they were sharing the locker but he didnt stole the camera it was the other guy.
Help!

My company has really been stressing importance in saving money and has suggested all employees consider more efficient ways to improve productivity. I figured a great way to save the company money was to discover and then report illegal or unscrupulous activity in the workplace.

My first instinct was correct. For years, I suspected the toilet paper in the men’s room did not measure up with what the box stated. I measured several rolls of toilet paper and found they only had 200 sheets as opposed to the 320 sheets stated in the contract with the supplier.

My employer demanded the toilet paper vendor make things right and was awarded $28,100 for years of being deceived. My compensation for saving the company nearly $30,000? I was written up for not using my time productively. They said my job performance suffered during the time it took me the measure the toilet paper. What is this? What a slap in the face!!! Do I have a legal leg to stand on?

I am employed through civil service, and I am a member of a union. About a year ago a promotional exam was given to any current employee who wanted to take it. I took it and finished in the top five. A promotion had just recently became available and usually they interview the top five employees who pass the exam, however the people I work for have been slow to get the interviews going, and whenever I requested the union to look into it, they brushed it off like it was no big deal. Our contract states that if an opening has been open for more than 90 days, then any employee may bid on it and senority will decide who gets promoted. Well now that time has passed and I found out that our union president, who told me not to worry about the interviews, has now put in a bid for the job...... (more below)

Why do so many cops, most of whom have smoked weed themselves at some point in their lives, get such a thrill out of arresting pot smokers?
Could it be that pot smokers are usually not violent so that it is less trouble to arrest them than a real criminal?
Does it make cops feel big and important to rough up the average skinny, stoner, high school kid?

Why waste time and money prosecuting a victimless minor drug offense? Surely our society has more important problems than weed? How about murder, rape, theft, arson, gang violence, child abuse, and all the other nasty things that people do to each other.

When police waste their time busting one teen out of the thousands that are smoking weed, or handing out tickets for minor traffic offences it makes many citizens loose respect for the law. Why because it takes time and EFFORT to solve serious crime.

We should revolt and do something... Do you agree?
