Usually a 1 year SOL to sue from date the Disclosure was executed. Defendants are anyone that signed a false disclosure, which may include others than the grantors.

Someone saw the video and reported it to the cruise lines. And I was banned for life. Not for getting caught for smoking weed. Banned because of a video of me smoking onboard. Can I sue?

They'll do that. The short answer is that cruise lines have a no-marijuana policy. It's possible the video was flagged as a violation of policies, and that it could be used as evidence in subsequent proceedings if it appeared on social media or other public forums. Good luck

Filing a Complaint without knowing most of the facts could get you repossessed. Hire an attorney to look at your financing statement. Then you and him start calling the noteholder, whoever that is. Some corporation searches will also be necessary. Determining the actual lienholder may be a... View More

That is the Statutory SOL of 6 years for breach of contract (to pay here). However the contract can modify the SOL. And the SOL in TN runs from the last payment, not the date of contract execution.
I brought a complaint against a woman who sold me a home with a known latent material defect (roof). She lied on the Purchase Agreement saying no known defect. We had tons of evidence, but she simply lied on the stand and convinced the judge that she was innocent. I was pre se, which was a mistake.... View More

Hire a competent attorney to file an Appeal De Novo to Circuit Court. That is a new trial. You only have a few days to file it, so hire an attorney tomorrow. You should have never filed such a case pro se.

Defendant can claim the Statute of Frauds unless there is a writing, even a cashed check. General Sessions suit will cost about a third of your prospective judgment. If you get a judgment by default including costs, you will still have to work to collect it.

It is a matter of contract, not of law. Based on the information you provided, if a contract with a self-storage company provides that insurance is required, there is no law prohibiting that provision. For example, many landlords require residential tenants to have renter's insurance.... View More

If you did not receive instruction to install the 1/4" board, I don't see that you are at fault. I'm guessing they are refusing to pay you for your work. If they do this, call a lawyer who practices construction law in your area.

If the title to the vehicle is in your former boyfriend's name and does not list a lien holder, this typically means there is no legal claim on the vehicle from the bank, as it usually would be listed if there was an outstanding loan secured by the vehicle. However, if there was an error and... View More

I see no cause of action. Without a written contract, statute of frauds is violated. Even an equitable remedy for unjust enrichment would not lie. Even if the plaintiff got a default judgment in Sessions Court, it would be set aside or uncollectable.
