actually $63000. am i entitled to the $5000 difference?
answered on Jun 9, 2023
Probably not. This is an issue of mutual mistake. You are not entitled to take advantage of another's mistake. The facts you gave said an APPROXIMATE value of $68000, this seems to be close enough to the actual value of the policy. This case arises under CONTRACT law. You need to discuss with... View More

Difficult situation. Usually if you work even an hour a day, the employer cannot deduct, but many wage laws allow a deduction from a salaried worker's pay if they miss an entire day. It does not seem right if you are also working 40+ hours a week. That is full time. This case arises under... View More

The direct answer to your question is Yes, the LL can take you to court over property damage. The issue is whether you were negligent in damaging the tree while mowing. Other issues are: Who is responsible under the lease to maintain the property? Did LL provide you with any instructions about... View More

You voluntarily responded to your PCP, so no privacy invasion, or HIPPA- which is improper disclosure to third persons. Malpractice? Probably not. Even if it was one of these violations, you probably do not have any significant damages that would be recognized as compensable in a Court of law. This... View More

it would appear at first blush that this is an invasion of your right of privacy, public disclosure of private facts. It isn't slander if truth is a defense.
