some guy drove into my sisters car the other day. She contacted the guys insurance company and they sent someone out to check out the damage. An estimate was given and then later she got the check in the mail to go get it fixed. anyway she took it to this one place and gave the people the insurance check and told them to fix it. She waited a couple of days and went to pick it up today and they did a terrible, terrible repair job. First of all, the interior of the car is all dirty and scratched up. Then, she noticed that they didn't even replace the cracked up hub cap. On closer inspection, they repainted only a small portion of the car(there are still cracks in the paint on the bumper) and where it is painted it is not the correct color. They did a crappy job hanging the door and they sratched the brand new side window they just put in taking the sticker off. They pretty much didn't do anything right. What legal action does she have if they won't man up and fix it?

My husband is only being paid if he works on the holiday. This I don't think is right. He should be paid for 8 hours. Not 7 hours because he only works from midnight to 7 am!! Please let me know what you think!! If he works the holiday he should get paid time and a half.

Personally, I think Arthur Scargill was right, but as for Blair's son being drunk in Leicester Square, well........

I know plenty of people say that others can’t sue them because they don’t have money, but don’t they get jail time if they don’t pay?

***Also, what’s the difference between jail, prison, & the penitentiary? Are they all the same?

Asking those who may have legal knowledge...not looking for just opinions. As I've had more work done on remodeling and other projects, I can't count the number of times I've been told somebody would come out to give me an estimate, or even do work, but they don't show up. When biz is good, they apparently don't care if a job is lost. Usually the appt. is during normal biz hours, so that means I take time off from work to meet them at home, and then they don't show. Has also happened with service agencies (Cable, Phone..although they will usually negotiate a discount or credit on my bill if the rep never shows up). Is there legal backing to charge somebody for the couple hours of time I take off work, or even wknds if they say they are going to show up and never do. Doctors and others charge a fee if customers don't show. Can I email/fax contractors an agreement before hand for them to sign noting this potential fee? Seems like a good contractor would agree to the terms.

Ralph Nader long ago suggested that the people most discriminated against in society are those who are the least attractive. Scientific studies have suggested that we all haev an innate bias towards more attractive individuals. "Those individuals who depart so significantly from the most commonly held notions of beauty that they incur employment discrimination are poorly treated in such diverse contexts as employment, criminal sentencing, and apartment renting. "

SHOULD WE TREAT ASPECTS OF APPEARENCE AS DISABILITIES THUS FORBIDDING DiSCRIMINATION. IF SO, WHAT CHARACTERISTICS AND HOW DO YOU DEFINE THEM?

I am off work at the moment as I have been into hospital to get some cosmetic surgery done, and it has just been brought to my attention that one of my bosses at work has disclosed this to other members of staff. Has he broken any laws here? I feel that this was my decision who I told and now that all the other staff members know. (54 in total). If I had gone into hospital to have an abortion, I feel that this would have happened also. What is my next step?

And also "Supremo"!
Who the Frig do they think they are?
I was in the Local Counci the other day and I got talking to one of them.
I suggested that he address me as "Herr Obergruppenfuhrer SS". He didn't seem to fancy the idea (!)
I also gave my address as "Vincent, Standartennfuhrer SS"
But that didn't go down too well.
They're a bunch of humourless drones,aren't they?

Check this out. I have this friend who goes to Mexico and comes home with a trunk full. Yes, a TRUNK FULL of AK-47's. He's got maybe $1100.00 in the lot of them. They're practically new. He plans to sell them for $500 each. Now, the point is. It's ALREADY illegal to do this. Do you really think that banning guns in this country will keep them out of the hands of criminals? Kind of like how banning cocaine cleaned it right up huh?

Here's the deal. My ex (which I was never married to) is threatning to file my daughter on his taxes. He claimed her one year and I claimed her the other. Now, we are broken up. He and I have shared custody without a court order. He, however, wants to claim her on his taxes but I want to claim as well. I paid the majority of her childcare with checks and have all the reciepts. I also provide her with medical through the state of NJ. Who can legally claim her and actually win?

My husband works for a large company that assembles computers, televisions, and other assorted small electronics. They also do repair work.
Anyway, my hubby's job is to run their Ebay account. He puts things in for auctions and deals with the customers.
Last week, he put a brand new T.V. up for auction that costs about $1,300. He was going to put it in for $1 starting bid. They do this often and the auction usually rakes in around $800 - $900. Well, there was a glitch in Ebay's system and it put the T.V. in for $1 BUY NOW option instead. Obviously a bidder snapped it up immediately. My husband tried calling Ebay to resolve it and got nowhere. Fortunately, he was able to speak to the bidder and explain what happened and the man said he understood and it was not a problem.
On Friday, my husband had to put in 3 more T.V.s of the same price. Again the Ebay system glitched and put all 3 T.V.s for the $1 BUY NOW option. One lady bidder snapped up all 3 T.V.s for $3! Continued...

i have a question. My phone was broken by a someone while I was at school (my phone is about 2 months old). He took it without asking and slammed it on concrete. So now, he doesn't want to pay for a new phone and says that he has the same phone at home but its 2 years old. So I want to take him to the small claims court and make him pay for another one. He says that he talked to 9 lawyers and all of them said that I can't do anything about this because he didn't do anything wrong. I believe that, first, since he took my phone without asking, that that's theft and then he broke it. So I can take him to court right?
