Q: Am I required by NY law to install a sign that indicates to my clients that they are under surveillance?
Barry Eran Janay's answer

A person is guilty of unlawful surveillance in the second degree when:
1. For his or her own, or another person's amusement, entertainment,
or profit, or for the purpose of degrading or abusing a...

Most likely yes. I say most likely because this appears to be an employment at-will scenario in which case any superior can, within the scope of his responsibilities fire an employee with or without any cause.

Q: Can I sue this business in a NYC court or must it be in Florida? They have a NYC office and only owner lives there.
Michael David Siegel's answer
The grammar here is awkward. I think it means you have to agree to FL, but any other place where regular jurisdiction can be obtained is not precluded. Thus, NY looks fine.

Q: Hi Justia.It about the lease agreement of the mall
Michael David Siegel's answer
Typically in a mall lease, you would have asked for exclusive rights as a nail salon in the mall. Your lease governs. If there is no such clause, you would have a weak case, unless you can prove the landlord did it to intentionally hurt your business.

a d/b/a is not a corporation or business entity, as such the owner can be held individually liable and there is no separate entity that would require a legal representative, in short he or she would not have to have a lawyer.

Your options may depend on your type of business entity and shareholder/member agreements currently in place. In general, you will need a power of attorney. Preferably, you may appoint the individual as a manager of the business, with all powers necessary to conduct the operations and business affairs.
