Interesting issue, which I don't have expertise in, but my somewhat-educated guess is: Regarding the issue of disclosure itself, without regard to whether it causes damage to the corporation, the answer to your question may depend on whether your corporation has a written confidentiality...

Since the vehicle is on private land, that landowner possesses the vehicle. The statutory procedures for acquiring title to abandoned property (including vehicles) would help you only if the vehicle were on public land. See Florida Statutes Chapter 705 at:... Read more »

It was a treaty with several Native American tribes and England that was signed in Virginia in 1677. It gave the tribes control over their home lands and the right to bear arms in exchange for loyalty to the Crown.

That's weird. A reporter must provide a requested transcript to a party to the case if the party pays the estimated cost up front, and an appropriate motion to the court may be made to seek relief. Which law applies depends on which court you're in.

Yes, a City Business Tax Receipt is an occupational license rather than a professional license.

Your inquiry is a bit vague regarding what you mean by having your "witness show up and provide statement", but I'm guessing you mean "set the case for trial and have my witness testify at trial." It is totally up to the prosecutor what deal to offer you. If they wish,... Read more »

In all likelihood they will take your biometrics notwithstanding the expired green card and expired passport. Do bring those photo IDs, however, and any other photo ID you may have, even if not government issued, to prove your identity. Also beginning in January 2021, USCIS began issuing a... Read more »

It is unlikely that you would prevail. The government, the federal government in this case, has probably not waived its sovereign immunity.

County ordinances can be more restrictive than state statutes as long as the two are not in conflict. Most counties have these ordinances because most homeowners do not want to see recreational vehicles and boats parked in their communities. Challenging a law in court is not an easy or cheap...
