If the obligations for the transportation of equipment are not included in your employment contract, then the employer cannot force you to do it.

Bought computer from pawn shop due to 16GB RAM. After taking home and going through laptop, RAM is only 8GB. Is this false advertisement?
answered on Sep 12, 2024
An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over a week. It could be, if it was advertised as such. But it could also be an innocent error (negligent misrepresentation) if the shop believed it to be such from what the original owner told them. Good luck

You can hold a paint party focused on general Halloween themes, but using the specific likeness of a character like Beetlejuice can lead to copyright and trademark issues. Beetlejuice is a protected character owned by a company, and using it in a way that could be seen as commercial—like a paint... View More

I cannot answer your question about the basis for the default because I can't examine the court file. Default judgments are taken without the knowledge of the defendant (you), hence the term.

I am curious if it is legal for ok. Stores to refuse cash on ordered goods when you pick them up when the business has nothing posted?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
In Oklahoma businesses can take any legal form of payment they desire. If they do not take cash, there are reasons they chose not to, such as a fear of theft, counterfeiting, germs transferred through money, etc... Posting is not required. Your recourse is to not accept the item and go... View More

Can a parent make a donation to the school (501c3) and then ask for the money back if they move or enroll their child elsewhere?
answered on Jan 5, 2022
The parent can ask - but there isn't anything requiring the refund. There is no federal law, and most states classify the donation as a gift and therefore no longer the property of the person giving the donation, and thus not required to be returned. However, if the funds were donated with... View More

An embezzlement charge would be file by the District Attorney or a Federal Prosecutor. You would need an attorney to file a lawsuit for you.
