The fact summary sets out a “quantum meruit” claim, or “unjust enrichment.”
A written agreement and evidence of breach has a higher chance of success, but her email admission of the claim can be presented in small claims court, where you should file this case. Request all of your... View More
I traded in my vehicle. The dealership paid it off without the new car being financed. I asked if I could buy back my car I traded in...the response was no. The new car was never financed. Now the dealership says they're suing me for the cost of the new car that I returned. Can they do that?
answered on Apr 11, 2018
I assume this is an Alabama matter. This depends on what you agreed to do when you entered into a contract to buy the car. What makes you believe that you can "return the car"? The fact that the financing was not complete is probably beside the point. You should examine your sales... View More

Yes, but you should contact a member of the Alabama Assn for Justice --they give free consults.

Am I still responsible for him if he leaves?
answered on Oct 27, 2017
Yes you are responsible for him! He is a minor and not an adult. He is not on your lease as a renter (he can't be, he is a minor). You need to talk to a lawyer in your county about a CHINS petition or something similar.
Can an individual forcefully apply red clay to the private property private road without approval then sue the individuals for money to pay back for red clay?
answered on Sep 28, 2017
No, unless they asked him to do it, in which case the answer would be yes. Well, actually, anybody can sue anybody, but if no one asked him to do it and he sues anyway he will lose.

answered on Feb 13, 2017
Chances are no for two reasons--the insurance company represented the parties that were doing wrong and also would have asked the administrator of the estate for a release before making any settlement payment. That release had a number of clauses. But I'm assuming you have a lawyer. Why not... View More

In Alabama its 3 years from the date of the last charge OR the date of the last payment, whichever is most recent.
