Can a homeless person be sued?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is not true. I know someone who is homeless because he fell on hard times, he still has a steady income and his ex wants to take him to court to get money he owed, she even has a contract that he signed but she is wondering if it will matter that he doesnt have a current address? Would email be sufficient? What if they have their last address where they rarely pick up mail at? Some homeless people have storages with assets and money. Just f.y.i contributor.

Why did the us freeze all the assets of japan in America?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

We were at war with Japan at the time.

I do not know of any modern government, then or now, that would allow a country at war with them to have domestic assets. Upon declaration of war, all assets would be seized This is common sense and a common practice of government.


If you are referring to the encampment of Asian people during the war, that is another issue, however, not on the surface how it appears.


WHen the US government seized property and arrested and encamped US citizens was wrong, and caused by fear and public outrage. Remember, that at the time, Japan had just attacked ships at Pearl Harbor, without provocation. At that time, Hawaii was a US territory, and I can only guess that it was a strategic outpost for the US Navy that Japan was not happy with.

What do you do if you are being sued for alienation of affection?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Alienation of affection" is sometimes used as grounds for the dissolution of a marriage. If the named spouse fails to respond to the divorce petition then the petitioner spouse can request the divorce be granted according to the state's default laws. When a divorce is granted under the default ruling the non respondent spouse usually forfeits his or her rights to a appeal any of the dissolution terms. It is always in the best interest (but not legally required) for the defendant to appear at a civil hearing regardless of the issue.

Can one sue a person for using the internet to cause harassment?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Criminal law: This branch of law determines which actions are crimes against the state. In criminal law, there are two approaches to cyberbullying:

  1. Harassment is a crime under the Criminal Code. Harassment is when something a person says or does makes someone fear for his or her safety, or for the safety of others. Even if the perpetrator did not intend to frighten someone, she or he can be charged with harassment if the target feels threatened.Criminal harassment is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
  2. Defamatory libel is a crime under the Criminal Code. It is most often treated as a crime if the libellous statement is directed against a person in authority and could seriously harm his or her reputation. Defamatory libel is punishable by up to five years in prison.

What is the statute of limitations for suing an insurance provider for denying a homeowner's claim?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most policy contracts do state a time frame for the payment of 'covered' losses. See Section I- Conditions, Loss Payment in your particular policy. // Try checking with your department of insurance. Many states have regulations on how long insurance companies can take to answer your questions and/or pay claims. You should also check for a statute that cover your own interests... like the amount of time you have to file a law suit. If it's been several months and the insurance company is not budging and you've already contacted your department of insurance... it might be time to seek legal advice.

Can you file criminal charges against someone after your civil case against them is completed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Only the state can file and prosecute criminal charges.

You can report the crime to the authorities at any time. If you have gone so far as to begin litigating civilly, it is doubtful that the crime has not been reported yet.

Actually, this answer is not fully correct, at least for the state of Michigan, the Michigan Constitution Article 6, section 24, clearly says; "any suitor in any court of this state shall have the right to prosecute or defend his suit, either in his own proper person, or by an attorney or agent of his choice."

That being said, it is extremely rare that this is ever done, and usually the prosecutors office takes the case if they feel it has merit.

Also, it's usually done the other way around, for example, in the O.J. Simmons case, the family of the victim filed civilly and won after O.J. was aquitted on the criminal charges.

I'm pro se plaintiff having received an answer to a complaint what do I do now only defense stated was plaintiff failed to state a claim yet you copied coa dential malpractice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

More than likely the defendant is using a technicality that can be as simple as the wording in the original filing petition(s). The party involved may be able to modify the suit or may need to refile the entire case. State laws govern the civil action process, therefore any remedy available depends on the applicable state statutes.

As the lawyer in an ex parte hearing what do you need to do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User



Definition: (ex par-tay, but popularly, ex party) adj. Latin meaning "for one party," referring to motions, hearings or orders granted on the request of and for the benefit of one party only. This is an exception to the basic rule of court procedure that both parties must be present at any argument before a judge, and to the otherwise strict rule that an attorney may not notify a judge without previously notifying the opposition. Ex parte matters are usually temporary orders (like a restraining order or temporary custody) pending a formal hearing or an emergency request for a continuance. Most jurisdictions require at least a diligent attempt to contact the other party's lawyer of the time and place of any ex parte hearing. * The judge decides whether or not a hearing is held ex parte, not the individuals involved in the matter. As noted, it generally involvedsRO/PO's where the order is granted, without the alledged offender being present. The alledged offender must be notified that a TRO has been issued before the order is considered valid. It is not necessary to obtain an attorney to file a restraining order a no contact order or a protective order, all similar actions regulated by the laws of the state in which the complainant resides.

What does it mean by the judgment of the court of appeals for eleventh circuit is reversed and the case is remanded for reinstatement of the judgment?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This means that the US Supreme Court overruled a decision by the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which had earlier overruled a decision of the US District Court and vacated the District Court's judgment. The Supreme Court ruling is saying that the Appeals Court made a mistake when the Appeals Court said the District Court made a mistake. The Supreme Court is also agreeing that the original judgment given by the District Court is correct after all and it is telling the Appeals Court to reinstate the District Court's judgment.
