Can a superintendent legally give away a contest prize without stakeholder consent?
Parents of my school were asked by the district to participate in a contest. We won that contest and the prize was a 4100 k fitness facility. The superintendent gave the prize to another school without consulting stake-holding participants (parents). He later claimed the authority to do so. However stake-holders (parents) were not informed of that authority or the possibility of the prize can be given away at any time. Then the Superintendent misled the public, media and sponsors into believing the stakeholders were behind his giving away the prize to another school. Does he have a legal excuse to breach the contract if his power to do so wasn't divulged when the parents were originally solicited to compete for the prize?
Can I get a refund after joining Herbalife as a distributor?
I recently paid to become an herbalife distributor through 'the online business systems' The cost was $399. You make this decision before there is ever full disclosure of what the program is all about and I was was never told that it was non refundable. Received all the products and training manuals in the mail but never opened them. I never even filled out my distributor application. After receiving some more info from my business coach I decided it was not for me. This all happened within 6 days. I am wondering if legally they have to give me my money back? It was all done over the phone and internet.
Can I contest my father's sale of the mobile home he gave me?
My father is 81. He and I (age 49) worked AND lived together for the past 5 yrs. It was brutal. But back to the question. In May 2010 my dad packed up his car, rented a U-haul and drove from Las Vegas NV to Daytona Beach Fla. When he left he told myself and my girlfriend that we could have the mobile home. It is paid for but does sit in a park where you pay monthly rent. He left in May to Fla and I paid the $600 rent for June July & Aug. My dad meanwhile gets to Fla and within 2-3 weeks finds a condo and signs a 1 year lease. I have a copy of this lease. I believe my 81 yr old, when he packed up all his belongings and drove 2500 plus miles was moving to Fla. He told everyone he knows from clients to family he was going there to retire. He told no less than 8 people he was giving me the mobile home, which is considered personal property, not real est. I say this because we could not find any of the title paperwork, and I wasn't too concerned, i believed my dad, and he was moving so far away. He came back to Las Vegas in 2 months, cause he was not happy in Fla. He moves back into the mobile home, for approx 3-4 weeks with my girlfriend and me. None of us like this arrangement so he moves to an apt. Last week I learned my dad sold the mobile home he gave to me. The eviction process is being started by either my dad, who doesn't own the home or the man who 'thinks' he bought it. I contend it is mine and I have 7 sworn affidavits all notarized by my sister, my brother, my ex wife, my girlfriend and mutual friend of my dad and 1 of our clients who spoke with my dad upon my dad leaving town. The eviction notice #1 is on the door. My question. When I finally get this to where the eviction process leads us all to court, can i use that appearance & answer form to contest the sale and do I have any legal grounds to keep the place I am living in and want to continue to. I have as I say no paperwork, no title, no nothing in writing, just the sworn statements from 7 people who know the situation and are willing to tell the truth.
Can I cancel my car lease after signing it?
I signed a lease 48 hr agos but I don't like the car. I traded in a car and they have not sent the money the owe me back. I went to cancel the lease 12 hours after signed but they did not allow me to do it. Instead they made me sign a new contract and additional forms like arbitrary form and other saying that I spoke English. I did not have to sign this the first time. Can I still get out of this lease and have my car back with no penalty to my credit score?
Can I challenge my golf club membership termination?
I am a member at a golf club and I emailed from my personal email a few other members of the golf club to tell them about a special that another competing club was offering if we could get a group to join. That email ended up in the wrong hands and was blasted all over the entire membership of the club and now the club has terminated my membership. I have been a dues paying member for 8 years. Do I have any recourse?
