Law & Ethics - December 2007

If someone trashes my car do I have to pay taxes on the income of the court case?
Now lets say I was in the car while it was hit and I miss work due to being injured and I win a sum of money for my lost wages, do I have to pay taxes on the amount awarded due to lost wages.
Now lets say my employeer breaches a contract and doesn't pay me my salery and I take him to court and win then do I have to pay income taxes on that money awarded to me, or does he give me my money like he would give a regualar paycheck?
Are their loop holes in the tax system? I think it would be awesome if thier were.

My psychologist attempted to capitalize on the very issues for which I was consulting him.

I was molested as a child by both a male and female and as a result, have had issues w/ sexuality, etc. I also had low self-esteem and was lacking the ability to be assertive, amongst other things. Long story short, he took my psych profile and used it to try to develop a sexual relationship w/ me. I explained to him that I had no interest in men and that the thoughts and feelings I was experiencing were merely a result of the molestation. I explained to him that I wanted to work through the issues. Instead he tried persuading me to go out and "try it" even after me telling him all this. This isn't the worst of it. He's tried to make me watch a gay porno w/ him, he's hinted at wanting to engage in mutual masterbation, has verbally told me that he finds me "sexy", ask for pictures of my genitals, etc. However I have no proof. It's his word vs. mine. Any and all advice is welcomed & appreciated

A man has sued the NYC nightclubs over "Ladies' Night" discounts and free admission, saying the promotions discriminate against men. I think it's a joke! What is your opinion?

Does anyone know what I can do? I have filed my divorce paperwork in Long Beach Superior Court. My attorney wanted us to go to trial because he said LB is notorious for losing paperwork. I have been calling them every week to see if the judge has signed the judgement. They couldn't find the papers and then apparently they did and the judge signed them and then it was supposed to be processed. Well apparently it never arrived to be processed and they have no idea where it is. The supervisor is not there and the woman in the department with my judge is not there either. Can't something be done about their inadequacy as employees? Can I file a complaint? Or anything? This has been EXTREMELY stressful and if it gets lost it will cost me more money.

i was selling my xbox 360 on craigslist locally and i was contacted by a buyer from Brooklyn I'm from Staten island he asked me for my address to send me a check via fedex overnight
when the check was sent i got an email from him stating that his secretary made a mistake and sent 2,000 instead of 320
when the check came it had 4,000 on it he told me to go to the bank and deduct the 320 and ship the rest to someone in Wisconsin through western union supposedly because he had a consignment with some agent i looked it up on google earth and the address i was suppose to ship the rest of the money was in the middle of nowhere just highway roads and grassy plains.
the whole sum of the money is in my bank account being verfied the process takes 3-5 days i deposited the check a day ago when the process is complete someone from some shipping company has to pick up my xbox 360.
should i cancel the whole thing since it might be fraud or what?

In the UK, If someone is currently serving a suspended sentence for violent crime, and they commit a drink driving offence, does this count as an offence to make them serve their previous sentence or are driving offences counted separately?

If all of our Laws are going to be made by the EU in Brussels
and 90% of our existence is going to be controlled from there.
Why do we need the hundreds of M.P.'s that we currently vote for and pay extortionate salaries and pensions to????

Maybe we should get rid of the House of Commons and just keep the Lords.
This being a lot cheaper, would probably allow a 50% cut in our Taxes.
Think about it!!!!!!

My wife just started working for this toddler entertainment center a week ago. An email came to the company stating that the women working the snack stand had a bad attitude. Both she and another girl were working the snack stand the same day. When my wife got the call from the job stating that they received complaints and that she was fired she asked if they described her in the email. The manager said "sort of". The other women who was also at the snack stand still has her job. They are both dark skinned with long hair and all wear the same uniform. If this fair? Should they do some sort of investagation for both women before firing since they both were working the same position that day? What should my wife do?

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I Do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't
one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone
sitting on their bottoms, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you
imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check ?

I worked for a hospital doing ER charging and coding, my 15 month old grand daughter was admitted to the hospital in Feb. and diagnosed with asthma. In July she started with another attack, my daughter was hysterical when she called my office as she was driving to the baby's doctor and asked me to look up the baby's ER record and tell er the name of the medication they gave the baby in Feb. so she could make sure she was given the same medication because it worked immeditaly. I was terminated for this being a HIPAA violation and not following proper chain of command. Have I destroyed my medical billing career for this mistake in judgement?

I need help. Please wait till after I have added the edits so you will have all the info.
I need to know if there is any way to challenge a court ruling. I want to have it overturned so I can get my freedom back.
6 ½ years ago accused of raping 2 little girls. (I DID NOT DO IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO CLAIM MY INNOCENTS TILL I DIE, AND THEN IT WILL BE CARVED ON MY GRAVE STONE SO I CAN STILL CLAIM IT THEN.) I was scared into pleading guilty to 1 could of sexual assault and 1 count of assault and battery. That would not have been to bad, since no age was mentioned, and there was only 1 count of sexual offence, I would only have to register 1 a year, for 10 years, then I would be free. When I got to prison. I refused to tell why I was there, so the staff looked it up and read that I was imprisoned for 2 counts of sexual assault on a minor under the age of 13.

I have obtained a mediclaim policy. While opting the policy I have clearly mentioned existance of myopia in the medical necessity column. Insurance company issued me mediclaim policy withoout any conditions of exlusions. Insurance company's denial compelled me to lodge a complaint with Hon. CDRF for redressal for claiming medical expenses with mental agony of Rs. 100000/- with legal expenses of Rs. 20000/-. Hon. CDRF partly allowed my claim and held Ins.com. liable to pay me claim amount with 9% interest with cost of Rs. 5000 towards mental agony and Rs. 2000 for legal charges. Insurance com. subsequently gone in appeal with State Com.. Their appeal dismissed with cost of Rs. 1000/-. Just today only I have received awarded claim. But I am denied interest on the deposit amount which was deposited by Company as required for submitting an appeal. Can any body tell me, whether I conclude with satisfaction of claim or still is there is provision for teaching lessan to Ins. Com.?

I want to video a father's behaviour towards his daughter and his ex everytime he arrives in a public carpark to pick up his 3 year old daughter. But is it legal in California? I want to get on film the reactions of the daughter when she see's her dad and the reaction of the little girl when she see's her mum a week later in the same resturant carpark - its with a view to getting full child custody. The child's father's family approached the child's mother and said the mother needs to get her baby out of the father's hands so we want to get evidence for family court. Also are there any groups or organizations that can give factual advice about what the mother should do to prove her case. His family alerted the mother but don't want to be involved as they are too scared of the baby's dad. So its the mother's word against the father's and as of now they both have 50-50 custody
