Is it legal for a salon owner to sell gift certificates on services provided by a booth renter?

It's not really a legalality issue unless there is a breach of contract. They can decide, betrween them, on whatever arrangement they want. It's more likely a contract issue with regard to the relationship of the booth renter and the owner and how they have that relationship set up. If the booth renter doesn't want to take gift certificates, write it in the contract. If the owner makes them do it anyway, it's a breach of contract. If the owner refuses to write the contract accordingly, the booth renter has the option not to work there.


What is the best defense if you are being sued by an ex girlfriend for gifts given to you that she wants returned but you no longer have?

Defense: "Gifts" become the property of the recipient the moment they are given and received, with no strings attached. If there was some other sort of "promise" upon which the "gift" was contingent, she has the burden of proving it and that the promise was broken and that you knew (or should have known) that the "gift" was part of a contract, not a gift. Therefore, she has to prove there was a contract, that you breached the contract, that she did not breach her part of the bargain, and that you have an obligation to return the fair market value of the objects she entrusted to your care.
