I rent a space in a office building. The building managment company has offered by email to make some improvments to my space. As of today no improvemnts have been made. Will the emails hold up in court??

If you get a recognized computer expert to testify to its authenticity, it might (e-mails figured prominently in the Enron case).

It depends in what country you are,, some countries they have so called electronic correspondences law, however it have some specific terms to accept an electronic correspondence or documents, but most of those laws when it comes to email message they Will ask for a recipient prof, and a deliver notice,, if you have a continues messages back and forth this could prove the acceptance and understanding of the other part of the t of agreement if you don't have such a thing then you might be in trouble and they could slick out, so actually you have three things to care of, 1. find out the electronic law 2. credibility and acknowledgment of your correspondences 3. all other terms which should be in place in any general agreement not necessarily electronic

If an agreement was made, it was made--paper is better than email, but email is still proof (it's just easier to challenge its authenticity than that of a signed notarized witnessed document). The only stumbling blocks I can forsee--exactly what was agreed (did they give you or imply a time frame?), and were those offers part of a negotiation and that part of it was left out of your final agreement?

>> 1.Can I appeal, << No. But you CAN seek to get the judgment set aside if you were nevers served with legal process nor had notice. Once that is done the whole case is tried over & you can raise your defenses. >> 2.Will my email hold up over the promissory note? << E-mails are generally accepted as evidence if properly authenticated. [authentication is the difficuly in most cases.] >> Can she just keep changing her mind? << No. As a practical matter it is extremely difficult for a lay person to get a judgment set aside. The rules and the nature of the evidence to do so are complicated. You'll need an attorney to have much of a chance.

It all depends due to the fact that anyone can send a email and that all they would have to say is they had a security breach or a disgruntal employee and they might be able to get away with having it thrown out

Consult your attorney. I believe the answer is yes.
