Depending on the basis for seeking sanctions, the type of sanctions sought, and whether the issue is related to any issues on appeal, that may be possible. However, it is not possible in this online forum to give a definite "yes" or "no" answer to your question, which depends... View More

I assume you mean statute, not statue. There probably is no statute that is specifically addressed to fraud on the court, but there is plenty of case law (published appellate court decisions) on that subject. Also possibly relevant to this issue is Fla. Statute Section 57.105(1), which is a basis... View More

Whether you have some kind of legal remedy depends on various factors, starting with what the zoning was when you moved in and any changes after you moved in, as well as whether the neighbor is in 100% compliance with the current zoning and permitting. Assuming the latter is the case, and you... View More

If you are found guilty, you likely cannot sue anyone for anything regarding the charge - so if the charge is still pending, you... View More

You did not ask a question, but I assume your question would be, "Is there something I can do"? The first thing to do is to demand what you had arranged/expected to happen. If your demand is not met, pick up the phone to schedule a consultation with an attorney in your area handling... View More

Everytime someone walks on my driveway or my lawn, the camera announces "smile, you're being recorded." I live in Pasco County, Florida. Is this legal?
answered on Jul 24, 2023
It may or may not be legal, depending on the apparent purpose of the camera, and depending on if it's only video or also audio. Generally, no audio recording is lawful without the consent of the person being recorded - and it's a crime to violate that law. If it's video only, and... View More
