Estoppels
Category: school
Two more estoppels:

Paternity by estoppel Once you say you're the dad of the kid, you can't disclaim the kid even if blood tests say it isn't yours. But if biological dad steps in and says that he'll take responsibility for the kid, you're off the hook.

Corporation by estoppel if you're dealing with an entity that you believe is a corporation (which would have limited liability) and you find out that it was defectively formed or isn't a corporation at all, you can't assert that the owner is then personally liable. This is only true if the owner didn't know that the corporate formation was defective and was in good faith holding it out to be real.

Happy Valentine's Day!
Category: holiday
I'm pretty anti-holiday in general but a certain person in my life loves holidays. These were waiting for me at the office this morning. Purple irises are my favorite flower. :-)

Those do look nice.... My problem with the Holiday isn't the holiday itself ... It is the social Norms that go along with it.... Say I buy someone a nice thing from Reeds or where ever then that comes with certain expectations like great sex... Or at the very a nice gift back.... See it is nice to give gifts just to give them but Valentines day isn't about that... It is about you have to give something and what ever you give and how you do it is = the love....... So because of these social norms if someone one isn't expecting something from gives a gift it would feel awkward..... In other words if someone just gets you a heart felt card the relationship is over......... Now a hand made Card of glitter might be different cause that takes a lot of time and effort but.....

Nice Flowers hope the holiday treats you well...

Word of the Day: Subjacent
Category: school
Equivalent to adjacent but underneath (sub). Image Salon is subjacent to our office.

Legal context: "Subjacent support rights are the rights of surface owners to not have their land subside from the activities of the owners of underground rights." Coal mining is a good example: as the miners are removing coal, they have to make sure that the surface doesn't collapse. The relation of the subsurface to the surface is "subjacent".

Good story lucky guys whom knew her :)

Legally that is pretty interesting I heard of things called Mineral rights but never thought about the fact that people above the land would have rights as well....

Oddly enough, I first heard this word when I was in the pre-law program at the University of Detroit (so it must have been my frosh or sophomore year) drinking with one of my "mentors" at a bar called the Roaring Twenties (if memory serves). The usage:

"She does not like missionary men, she prefers them subjacent" quoth the mentor.

"What the F. . . does that mean?" quoth I.

"Look it up" quoth the mentor with a grin.
