  - nice. -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 11:24 1
    - not my best but you can totally see the movie -- nm - stuffed pixie Nov 3, 11:25
- Folks should be able to line up and kick this guy's butt. He wants his ex-wife flown back to the states from somewhere in Latvia. - Diva Nov 3, 11:20
- Contracts for wedding photography do not typically specify which photos will be taken, usually just how long a photog will be on site and how many - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:16 4
  - I'm not sure clauses like that always stand up - ty97 Nov 3, 11:21 3
    - most wedding/video contracts say photog will be here at this time, there till x PM - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:27 2
      - Sure, that's what the explicit contract says. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:29 1
        
        contracts offered by the vendor tend to weigh heavily on the vendor's side. though in your senario that would be misrepresentation to the point of - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:38
- offs -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 11:14
- But Hot Coffee taught me that there was no such thing as frivilous lawsuits anymore! - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 11:10 8
  - If (I stress if) the contract for wedding photography included pictures of the last dance and bouquet toss, is that not breach of contract? - ty97 Nov 3, 11:17 7
    - 8 years after the fact? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 11:18 6
      - Does breach of contract have a statute of limitations (I don't know the answer to that) -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:19 5
        
        6 years -- (link) - decline Nov 3, 11:21 1
        
        The NYT said he sued just before the statute of limitations was about to expire -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 11:22
        
        a year or two? fraud is six or 7 years???? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:19 1
        
        Since a judge let the case go ahead, I'm guessing not, but it's not a topic I'm clear on. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:21
        
        No idea. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 11:19
- The lawsuit isn't left field but the request is ridiculous. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:06 13
  - especially given that they are divorced and he has no idea where his ex-wife even is. -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:16
  - A lawsuit for this, after eight years, is left field IMO -- nm - Roger More Nov 3, 11:16 11
    - Ok, sure, it's a surprise eight years later. I mean the lawsuit itself isn't frivolous or bizarre (the damage request is) -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:18 7
      - Maybe the breach of contract part, no. Looks like he also sued for 'infliction of emotional distress' (yes). - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 11:22 6
        
        It sounds like the judge is handling it well, actually. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 11:23 5
        
        unless your the photographer who has already racked up $50k in legal bills (so he says) -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:24 4
        
        The judges job it to work according to the law, not to limit the photographer's legal bills. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:27 3
        
        Legislators, judges... no lawyer culpability in this equation? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 11:32 1
        
        What lawyer culpability do you see? I didn't read any claims of misconduct. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:37
        
        IF the studio was members of PPA (pro photogs of america) they would have indemnity coverage for failures and ommissions and a law firm well versed in - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:30
    - Unless they are filing for divorce. - Spawn Nov 3, 11:17 2
      - Heh - they did divorce after the suit was launched. -- (link) - Roger More Nov 3, 11:18 1

        my wife brushes them at least once a day (I might have a bad sample as Annie was sick alot before she passed a couple month ago) -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 11:42
        
        this is my experience too. I have no idea. I shouldn't have pets though. ever. -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 11:36
    - As a landlord... dogs *bark*. And have to go outside. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:20 2
      - true, but Jack is renting a condo in a highrise in NYC. Going outside means a walk down the sidewalk with dozens of other dogs - decline Nov 3, 11:32 1
        
        honestly I think fenced yards for most dogs are overrated. most adapt very well to apartment living - kare Nov 3, 11:35
    - cats use litterboxes; dongs don't. -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 11:05 9
      - *pees on your bed* -- nm - boy cat Nov 3, 11:11 2

        I keep thinking about getting a cat after the holidays but man. - amanda Nov 3, 11:15
      - 2 dongs, wow! nm -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 11:09
      - they just use boxes -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 11:08
      - sometimes -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:06 2
        
        it's true. I've never, ever had a cat pee where it shouldn't have (I've only ever had female cats) but sash's male cat pees on everything. -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 11:07 1
        
        "a man will piss on anything, but NOT his leg." nm -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 11:08
      - sometimes... -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 11:06
- no. -- nm - loosilu Nov 3, 10:59
- Allow it and charge extra, plus a professional cleaning when they move out. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 10:59 9
  - Cleaning is one thing. Animals, especially dogs, can cause damage beyond cleaning. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:00 7
    - my cats did far more damage to furniture and floors than my 100 lb dog ever has -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:05 1
      - this. -- nm - kare Nov 3, 11:32
    - [deleted] 4
      - So say no at first and see if you have trougle renting. If so, expand it to allow for maybe a small dog or cat w/ additional deposit and/or rent -- nm - decline Nov 3, 11:10 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        I think you should interview each pet on a pet by pet basis. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 11:11
      - My condo was a rental before. They had dogs. - ty97 Nov 3, 11:04
  - assuming you're not leaving furniture for them to chew on -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 10:59
- hell no -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 10:58
- that's about the only pro I can think of. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 10:58 1
  - I would say no reason not to do it, as long as you can require an additional deposit. - znufrii Nov 3, 11:01
- I would actually say yes to cats not to dogs. -- nm - amanda Nov 3, 10:58 7
  - Booo. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 3, 11:04

so i just had to look it up - what is the minimum wage where you live? -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 10:57 13
