Law & Ethics - October 2007

the answer shoulde be based on the following example, a person purchased a house from a seller 2 years ago. on the continunity of habitation, he discovered cracks, which were attributable to the negligient passing of plans by local authority. instead of carrying out repairs, he sold his defective house and recovered loss against what the value would have been without the defects.

Please, no hate mail. Heres' my question.
From what I've read, to qualify as cyberstalking, you have to be harassing and/or threatening someone. The person who thinks they are being cyberstalked is first supposed to ask you to stop, then report your IP, and then file a charge - if I read right. Do they have to do all that, or can they go straight to a charge?
Some lady is charging me with cyberstalking. The communications I had with this person were never threatening, nor did I harass her. She never told me to stop talking to her. I never tried to find out personal information. All I did was take some pictures and her name. Could she really win a case against me for cyberstalking? Also, does taking her name and some of her pictures qualify as identity theft, or do you have to take more info than that? What is the penalty for breaking the copyright law (which right now, appears to be the only thing I did.)
Thank you SO much.

I'm an Assitant Manager at a retail store and I work with two employees who both speak spanish and english fluently. Is it discrimination if they are speaking to each other, while on the clock, in spanish in front of me, since I do not personally speak spanish nor understand it? I believe it is but would like some other opinions. Maybe someone who knows the laws on that. Thank you :)

No I need to write a rebuttal to state as my boss stated I put 120% on my work performance, I always help everyone in office,I give out all my help to new employees and I am more than willing to train new employees.

i live in a low income apartment and i was told that i needed to change the carpet and i had to pay for it. i don't mind but i want to make sure it is legal. the carpet was slightly damaged but not really. my mother had lived there before me and her cat damaged it, they never bothered to change it before but now she moved out and passed the lease to me. now they are telling me that i need to pay for it because they will get introuble with their managment when they inspect it next week. my manager told me that we had to pay for it cause we had damaged it but i consider it fishy because that carpet had been damaged for 3 years already, which i've only been living there for 1. should i pay for the replacment?

In the streets of Vancouver, a sample of ten in an area would only result to around 3 caucasians. So how come the non-caucasians ar considered a "visible minority" when they are becoming a majority in Vancouver?

What will you call a White Brazilian who has a colored mother and a Caucasian father? Is he/she a visible minority too even though she is white?

I mean those that fight hardest for tougher laws against sex offenders.Are they actually guilty of something?Makes you wonder.Jessica Lunsford's father had kiddie porn on his PC.So he can technically be a sex offender.As well as his son who had relations with an underage girl.Why doesnt the media focus on that aspect?This is true about many thing like BIGOTS who spew hate of JEWS,HOMOS,and other ethnic groups when they are in fact part of that group.

Hi all,

I am trying to sue my apartment management company since their employee (my on-site apartment manager) got into my apartment without my permission and stole lots of my personal and financial information and committed lots of fraudulent charges.

My question is: How do I find a good lawyer who specializes in this case? I would also like to know how/where I can find lawyers who are willing to take on a case for a portion of the reward rather than an upfront fee. I am living in the bay area, California.

Any help/information is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Is it legal for the media to play or post on a website 911 tapes with your phone number in it? as an example you call to report a crime and the 911 operator says to you " your name is john smith and your phone # is 555-1234" then the tape is uploaded (unedited) on to the internet website of tv station or news paper. Can they legally do this? can you please give me something to back this up?

A group of friends and I were accused of rape. The accusations were extremely untrue and the girl that made them came clean 3 days later. But the damage has been done. Investigators came to my work place and asked for my DNA infront of my boss. An article was printed in our local paper that reported that there were quote RUMORS that a group was arrested for ashaulting a young women. There were not arrest and the paper did not even have a police report. How can any responsible journalist write that article? My friends mother is being harrassed at work and I get dirty looks everywhere I go. So I'm wondering if it is legal for our paper to report such rumors. We plan on fileing suit against the girl, and the paper if possible. you really can't imagin the humiliation we've had to go through so any advice will really be appreicated.
