At the very least, anyone suing a landlord should educate himself or herself about the forms and process, and asking a lawyer how to do that might be an efficient although expensive method. There are many books and online articles about small claims court.

Most small claims courts do not allow any attorney to represent a client in court, but that doesn't mean you can't hire one to help you avoid court or to prepare for court.

There are many jurisdictions that have varying degrees of liability so any answer will be general and must not be taken to be an accurate answer.

Usually, a landlord has a duty of care to provide safe and reliable electrical wiring in a house. If he fails in this duty, there may well be a liability to make good damage to a renter's equipment. It is usually up to the renter to prove that a faulty installation was the cause of damage and also, that the landlord could be expected to know the installation is faulty.

However, the landlord will not be responsible for property that has been damaged after the renter is aware that a problem exists. To persist in connecting televisions that are damaged due to mains wiring is careless and the landlord will not be responsible for the renter's carelessness.

A blown tv due to the electrical supply would not ordinarily be due to the ground. A loose connection in the hot or neutral contacts in the outlet would be more likely. But at any rate, I agree with the answer above, that after you know of a problem, any damage is on you since you shouldn't be using that outlet.

Yes, anything that is above 50cc you will new a license for.

In most cases notarization must be done by a third party not directly involved in the transaction being notarized. In most jurisdictions a notary can notarize something for a family member as long as they are not the beneficiary of the transaction. This is for the protection of all parties involved and should be common sense in anyone's book.

Not really enough info given with which to answer the question - - - BUT if you're looking for a definition: The term is often used in traffic cases when the officer (for whatever reason) fails to appear in court to testify against you. Dismissalal is the same as if the charge was never made, and no adverse record will apear on driving record.

Absolutely. A valid promissory note does not have to be in writing. The practical problem you will have is proving that the person borrowed the money. Without a written document, it could become just your word against the other person's You could lose the lawsuit, not because there was not written document, but because you weren't able to prove the debt.

The case was closed. someone didn't show up to support their claim or didn't answer the claim against them.

If you have been arrested by the police because they think you have committed a crime, the next thing that happens is that you are brought to court for trial.

When you come into court the charges against you are read out and you are given the opportunity to say that either you did not do the things you are accused of (a plea of not guilty) or that you agree that you did what you are accused of (a plea of guilty).

If you plead guilty then there is no trial and the court will decide the punishment you deserve immediately.

If you plead not guilt, a trial will be held and a jury will be appointed to hear both sides of the argument and decide if they think you are or are not guilty. If they decide you are guilty you will be punished.

Our local District Court Clerk told us yesterday to:

1) Type a heading almost exactly like the complaint (not the summons) you received, including case number, names, etc.

2) Answer, even with a simple yes or no, each numbered statement on the summons.

3) Make three copies, one for yourself, one for the court, and one for the Plaintiff.

4) Obtain a copy of "Certificate of Service," make three copies (as above), and fill out as if you were delivering or mailing the answer.

5) Deliver or mail the answer to the original Plaintiff, with delivery of service form filled out, probably a law firm in your area.

6) File the answer with the court, and ask if they give a receipt.

7) Since the filing fee has already been paid, this should cost you nothing.

Please let me know how this worked out for you, and I will do the same.

Generally, no. However, if you should have known that your comany was doing something illegal, then perhaps yes. The US government sued every member of one company including the secretary, because they were running a gambling web site. And remember, they sued the programmers that wrote code for Madoff. Oh...You can ALWAYS sue...that doesnt mean you will win, or will not be held liable for the guy you are suing when he sues you back for his legal expenses.

A. It is easier to compare prices.

When does the court allow you to sue for triple damages?

Yes, Definately.

It expires after one year. It can be renewed every year until the judgment expires. In New York, a judgment can be renewed twice (a total of 20 years).

It means that the case is permanently closest and cannot be reopened. Whatever decision is made is final and a new case would have to be opened to change anything.
