I'm about to sue a guy in Indiana small claims court (I'm not in Indiana, they are letting me do it by phone) and have never sued anyone in my life has anyone ever sued someone who didn't show, but despite all testimony and evidence presented got a "gently caress you" from the judge? I'm mostly asking out of paranoia because reddit (yeah yeah I know) gave me the impression judges were inclined to give you a win by default if the other party didn't show but I did want a more realistic lay of the land

it's small claims court, anything can happen the one time i was in small claims court, the judge made people who sued people who didn't show up still go through their case rather than just automatically get the money they wanted. they may insist you present enough evidence that would support your damages amount. the whole point of small claims court is that the rules basically don't apply, and every state does theirs differently. go to it prepared to prove up every element of your claim, including the amount of the damages, as if someone's going to argue with your evidence and say "what is the evidence of X" for each thing that matters, even if you know the other side won't show up

"I also very strongly recommend to Ms. Anderson that she immediately retain a lawyer for any future interactions with the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench. She can afford it. She has lots of money." That there is a very angry judge.

Team MUSK: The meat of this is that there actually is no evidence that we’ve destroyed evidence, and that’s the standard that they recite to the court. That is something — CHANCELLOR MCCORMICK: They point to something that’s been destroyed. Team MUSK: Sure, fair enough.

Anyone else get a CAMs accreditation? Started to use mine and really need materials to bone up on my knowledge, especially when it comes to setting and adhering to best practices when created a AML/KYC business regime.

My experience with working at a bank sucked too. But it really just depends in who you work with in the end. Glad things turned out well for you.

I agreed to work for one of our top compliance officers who was also a managing director. Guy was wonderful. Then a terrible project manager came in and poached me while making work-life a miserable experience. If I'd have stayed working in KYC/AML as an analyst, I would have been bored but not as miserable.

I have a new favorite case citation, One 1958 Plymouth Sedan v. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 30 U.S. 693 (1965). The 1958 Plymouth Sedan was represented by the totally real attorneys Louis Lipschitz and Standord Shmukler. Essentially, even if the 1958 Plymouth Sedan's owner was a bad guy doing bad guy stuff, it doesn't mean the 1958 Plymouth Sedan is also a baddie!

Have a question that this seems like might be the right place to ask? If not, and there is a better place, please direct me or just tell me to gently caress off. A former company of mine failed to take care of replacing my phone number as a 2FA requirement for an account that they use and have been harassing me for the last week to "just help them out". I haven't had time to take care of it during my normal work hours, and have just not placed it as a priority in my life to help them after hours. Today, I received a voicemail from one of their new VPs which stated: " I'm asking that you step up just a little bit here and coordinate with me so that when I try to gain access, you can text me the code. I will remind you that your exit agreement said you were going to turn over all IP, and this is apart of that" I've been at a different company for over a year at this point, and do not feel that I need to "step up" for them. But want to just make sure that I'm not treading any muddy waters by just ignoring them. I have reached out for some legal help to ensure I am represented in the event they push further, but wanted to see if there might be advice or information to gain prior to retaining representation.

I’m not a lawyer, I have no idea where you stand legally and accidentally clicked into this thread. That said, not being willing to even tell them, “you have 10 minutes from 12:00-12:10 this Thursday during which time I’ll text you the code” implies there is something else going on here as well that wasn’t included in your post….

Yeah I don't know anything about the situation legally but how on earth is helping them switch the 2 factor more difficult and annoying than *engaging a lawyer* to advise you on whether you are legally required to do so?

You should post about how mean they were to you, so we understand how you have a right to do whatever. Buy post it in the legal questions thread, along with your OP.
