If you are given a gift by your partner and then you break up, are you legally required to return the item if he requests it back? Can you be prosecuted if you dont? I live in QLD, Australia.

I gratuated just this year and has been working for almost four months now by referral. Though I find the job interesting and suits to my expertise, It was only last week when I found that the person who referred me to work has something personal going on with my Dad. I slapped her when I found out that she has been calling my Dad using the company's line. Now she is destroying my image to the President for such an act. She blocks my salary and don't report my accomplishments. What will I do? the president just offered me promotion. Will I accept it or just leave the company? I don't know where to stand.

I was driving back home from a department store and was heading towards a freeway on-ramp when a car sideswiped me and took off down the freeway. this person knew what they did because as i followed her she sped up and made multiple lane changes to try to get away from me. I managed to catch up to this person and got the license plate number and the car model. Once i returned home, i checked the side of my car and all there was, was a smudge from the other car's paint (barely showing tho) other than that no damages. So, should i go ahead a make a police report anyway, even tho there wasn't any serious damage done to my own car?

I read this story and was so disturbed I can hardly explain such. I am not so much here for a question, but asking for any motive on the part of the police for ignoring these cries. Is this the way in which our jail systems work? I know a few prison guards and am inclined to say yes.
If so, what can be done to bring morality back to the legal system?

We recently purchased a brand new condo about a month ago. For our condo we have a 1 car garage and 1 assigned outside parking spot. The parking spot has our condo number on it and the words "reserved" right below that.

The problem is 3-4 nights a week someone parks in our spot. Sometimes there are un-marked spots we can then park in... but sometimes there are not and we're forced to park in the red fire zone area.

I've called our local police department and they said unfortunately there's nothing they can do.

I've called the tow company the police department uses and they said they can't tow the car because it's private property and there's no sign that says "Vehicle may be towed at owners expense."

We've been leaving notes on cars nicely asking them not to park in our spot... but some people just don't care and continue to park there.

What options do we have? What can we do? We own that parking spot and people are using our property without our permision.

I'm 15 and the place I used to work for broke 2 well known violations: working more then 8 hours a day, and working past allowed time(where I live its 9pm, and I was commonly stuck there until 11pm-12am). This place is such a corrupt, unholy business, and I've decided someone needs to stand up to this place. I know I have the right to sue, but I don't know where to begin as I have no experience in this. Can someone give me some steps or advice to put me on the right path?

I used to live in Chicago but have moved to Las Vegas. While in Chicago I worked as an assistant manager at a hardware store. In May as I was leaving the store one day I got into a verbal scuffle with another assistant manager. As he was storming back into the store he said to me "why don't you go F_ _ _ yourself". I was off duty he was still on duty. I was just going to let it go but some people have told me that I should sue them. The only thing they did to him was yelled at him he wasn't even suspended or anything. Has my statute of limitations run out or do I still have time? Also does it matter that I have moved? This has really been hard on me. I have looked for work out here and the thought of getting back into retail has given me panic attacks and I cry about it almost every day. What should I do?

Can someone tell me what law/laws he broke? I keep hearing he "solicited sex" in the bathroom. So did he try to pay for sex? I didn't hear that in the taped confession. Yes, I think the situation is sleezy, but I'm not sure I understand what law he broke if he did not try to pay for sex or actually get caught getting-it-on in public? I've been out at clubs and bars and have seen ppl "solicit" consential sex from strangers often. How is Craig's situation different, except tacky??
Also is a foot-bump and a hand grazing really a solicitation?

I went to my friend's house at the end of an "Adult" Party and purchased some products(in a back room for privacy)After the transaction was complete, I rejoined my friend's, who were cleaning up. The sales rep. came up and said she had given me the wrong scent of a spray, and reached into my bag and switched the one in it with another,then she left(rather fast). When I got home I saw that the can she'd switched was half empty. The next morning, I stopped payment on the check reasoning that if the Rep. was dishonest enough to switch the spray so brazenly in front of witnesses, that she was probably brazen enough to lie and say that I used the product and I felt she would refuse to replace it. Would I be liable for the returned check fee? Also, if the transaction was complete(or all sales final as she's so fond of saying) and she took the spray from my bag, would that by definition be stealing? What recourse do I have legally?

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free excercise thereof... etc. etc."

So, if Fundamentalists want to argue that Marriage is defined as one woman + one man in the Bible (which is a stretch of interpretation)... then that makes marriage a religious affair and thus untouchable by federal law as per the 1st Amendment.

Agree?

And how could the law validate the marriage of one religion and invalidate the marriage of another?
(That would mean that all hand-fastings are null and void as well as the hetero marriages performed in religions which also perform gay marriages and refuse to distinguish between them).

And before you say "Reynolds V. United States", that was about Polygamy (and only lead to the conclusion that you can't break a federal law that already exists and say it was your religious right.)

I have a friend who assures me that he can beat the breathalyser test every time he gets stopped on his way home from the pub. He said he found it on a website and it works for him. I told him I did not want to know anymore but I noticed how unsteady he was on his feet.

He drinks 15 pints per night and never makes it home until the morning. Surely he could never pass the walk the line test. Should we adopt the same practice in England?
