Get out your bankruptcy petition and see if the creditor was listed as a scheduled debt. If not, it was not discharged. You need to look at the Judgment which is probably a lien against you of record at the Register of Deeds. If the Judgment is legitimate, then there is no defense to the `10... View More
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?
answered on Jul 9, 2024
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

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
I sell traffic control devices and want to bid on a contract with the county in TN. The price will be above $25,000. Do I need a contractors license to bid if I'm not providing a service? I am a wholesale company only. If so, which contractor license would I need?
answered on Mar 30, 2024
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. Attorneys here aren't likely to know this off the top of their heads. It might be more reliable to check with the purchasing/procurement department manager of the county - it could depend on how they wrote... View More

But if you are performing any work, or paying someone else to perform the work for the installation you probably are subject to the contractor statutes.
