I signed a waiver when I signed the boarding lease where I board. And there is a sign posted. And if I bring a visitor they sign one as soon as they’re on the property. Good business practice. And I’m happy to say they haven’t murdered me yet!
I ride a horse for a someone at a place where I don’t board and I signed a waiver the first day. Same with the barn where my personal horse is boarded.
I really don’t think that MB, MHG, RC, et al. thought that they could get LK & RG to sign a waiver and then kill them and not be held liable. I’m just not convinced. Maybe I will be convinced as the civil case procedes. Maybe I’ll also win the lotto (I don’t play).
I tend to believe that you are the company you keep. Perfectly fine with certain posters disliking me.
I got called mean for pointing out that while LK’s horses are lovely horses for dressage amateurs, they aren’t horses that competitive international level riders are going to kill for. Glamourdale, on the other hand…
There is nothing wrong with being realistic and calling a spade a spade IMO.
Also known as St. Catherine,s Wheel, a device torture. Beautiful true blue early spring annual. Looks spectacular next to my California poppies but over seeds like crazy.
You cannot be the “one party consent” in a one party state if you are not part of the conversation either. You cannot record someone else’s conversation in the background and then claim you’re the consenting party.
This has been explained so many times that I’m flabbergasted anyone still doesn’t understand. Orrrrr, they understand and are just pot stirring. Could it be?
In NJ it is a felony to record someone without their permission (first part) and a secondary charge to then share that recording with others (second part)
The damages for such are in the statute. It’s very clear. Making a recording of a conversation you were not a part of and then sharing that with another person is a felony.
But civil penalties aren’t up to the state. They’re up to whoever wants to bring someone to the mat for their bad acts.
ETA: each occurrence counts. Each recording, and each sharing of each individual recording, and each individual recorded - each combination is its own occurrence.
This is a completely normal thing for a lawyer to do. A letter on legal letterhead does a lot to resolve disputes. In a landlord tenant dispute it is par for the course; it’s not evidence of some nefarious plan.
If a letter gets someone to comply with the terms of their agreement then both sides save a bunch of money in legal and court fees. There’s no downside.
