This is a brand new case that was just filed last week.
There is no settlement, no judgement, nothing to claim at this point.
Class action cases take time, often 2-5 years from the time they are filed until they are resolved.
And there is no guarantee that the case will be... View More

Nobody is required to furnish internet access, unless the requirement is specifically mentioned in the lease. You have some options, I think: pay to upgrade the condo's cabling; move; or see if you can access the internet via satellite or some other wireless method of connecting to the... View More

You should report to the police.
As far as leaking photos, you should consider filing for copyright registration and sue him for infringement.
You should consult with an attorney quick.

Hey! So June of 2018 I posted a blog post about an old relationship I had. As the cover photo I used a picture of my ex and I (prom).

There is always risk and the devil is in the details. However, there are a couple of issues to consider:
1. Who took the picture? That is the copyright owner. Your use may depend on having the right to use the picture for this purpose. You would likely argue that the photo is subject to... View More

If you retained a competent lawyer to defend you in the federal district court over two years ago I am surprised they did not file a counterclaim way back when you answered the complaint--because the plaintiff company might have seen the wisdom of paying your fees when they wanted to settle. In any... View More

Sure; in America anyone can sue anyone else at any time—even without a lawyer in small claims court. Winning the lawsuit is another matter. If you decide to sue you should be prepared to pay the $400 filing fee and then pay another hundred bucks or so for service of process. Finally, if a court... View More

The answer to your final question is yes, the Florida Statutes permit tape recording and video recording of all HOA member meetings and board meetings.

If you have set your work computer (which belongs, presumably, to your employer) to be able to access your email without the need for inputting a password, yes: you have given the employer implicit permission.

A local government agency deleted something they posted on their Facebook page (that was related to the agency) because of a lot of criticism they were receiving. Is this deleting a public record?
answered on Dec 1, 2017
I see that you have not received an answer to your question. I am not sure if I know the exact answer, but my educated guess is yes, they can take down the post from a social media site. Was or is it a violation of the Sunshine law, I have no idea.

Sorry, no way to say for sure. I do not see it as a legal issue for Google. ie: if you run an add and agree to pay by the number of clicks you get on the add, then google has not control of who clicks or how many times. On the other hand this person, who you believe is, clicking the add... View More
