Small Claims Court Case

The broad powers of rent-control boards and agencies mean that many more issues and disputes about landlord-tenant issues are resolved in informal hearings instead of in courts during eviction proceedings. Some cities provide mediation services as well, to help landlords and tenants work out their differences.

This report is an observational summary of the Landlord and Tenant Board, located at 3 Robert Speck Parkway Suite 520 Mississauga, Ontario L47 2G5. Throughout Tuesday, January 26th, 2016 and Wednesday, January 27th, 2016, the Landlord and Tenant Board held many different cases.

A court awards a judgment to Loan Collection Agency, who is the creditor, against Margret, who is the debtor. After the judgment, the creditor requests a court order to seize Margret’s property to ensure that the judgment will be collectible. This is

7. Court’s Order: As a result of this holding the court has established sufficient law entitles P to have her case heard before trial court.

A) JUDICIAL means (in this case) “a legal court of law”. B) JUDGMENT means “the determination of the court”, a legal obligation as determined by the judge. C) RECOVERY means “the act of becoming lost). If you know what a court order is then you already have a good idea. A court order is pretty much a judicial judgment in that they both mean, in essence, “As Ordered By The Court”. So what does it mean to us? It means that when one person (the plaintiff), sues another person (the defendant), in small claims court, and wins, it’s because the “court ordered” the defendant, now known as the judgment debtor, to pay the plaintiff, usually, a said dollar amount. So now the plaintiff is awarded a piece of paper proclaiming them a judgment winner. But are they really the winner? The easy part was winning the case. Now comes the difficult part, and that is getting the judgment debtor to actually pay-up. You see, the court cannot collect the money for the judgment winners. It is actually up to the judgment winners to collect their own judgments. But with no pressure to

The Landlord Tenant board (“LTB”) is tasked with addressing conflicts arising out of the rental of residences. The conflicts between landlords and tenants can be determined by adjudication before the tribunal through an oral hearing or mediation that is overseen by a board mediator. When you make an application to the LTB, they will schedule a hearing date. On this date you can arrive and will be given the option to engage in mediation on site. Mediation can only occur if both parties agree to participate. If both sides agree you will engage in mediation first, and then a hearing only if mediation is unsuccessful. Parties may have legal counsel as a representative during the mediation. As counsel it may be beneficial to contact the other side prior to the hearing date to determine if they wish to partake in mediation. Counsel should however be prepared to engage in a full hearing before the board should the other side change their mind about mediation, or in the event mediation is unsuccessful. If an applicant has filed their application with the board prior to obtaining legal counsel or new issues have arisen since the time of application, it is important to note that a hearing can only address what was submitted in the application. Whereas mediation is able to tackle any issues regarding the tenancy, even those not originally contained in the application to the LTB. If the mediation is successful parties can themselves

The Plaintiffs filed a lawsuit at the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. The verdict of the jury found the Defendant liable and was in favor of the Plaintiffs. Defendant then filed a motion for a new trial for judgment as a matter of law.

On February 12, 1909, the NAACP, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was founded. The NAACP was founded in response to the 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois and the terrible practice known as lynching. Their goal was to secure the rights, for all people, guaranteed to people in the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments in the United States Constitution. Even though some of the most important wins in court happened when Charles Hamilton Houston was the leader, his student, Thurgood Marshall, won some important ones too ("NAACP Legal History", NAACP.org). This essay is going to focus on some of the court cases that were fought when Marshall was in charge ( Janken, Kenneth R. "The Civil Rights Movement: 1919-1960s")

When I was present, the plaintiff and defendant were each giving their precedent. The plaintiff’s representative talked James King sent a threatening letter to Judge Seel’s house. In which, he explained descriptive evidence on how King made “threats” to Judge Seel in his argument. James King, on the other hand, was a man with a lot of “problems”. He stated that he was not in the right state of mind when he made the threat to Judge Seel. Also
