I bought a vacant three family house in NJ couple of years ago.In Oct, 07 the town start issuing me summons for unsafe property. The town wanted me to demolish the property, even though the house is structurally sound and can be renovated. I got so fed up that I signed the agreement to demolish the house. Is it possible to get out of this agreement?

Debts of deceased

The father died leaving all assists to the son who is also the executor of the estate. The father put the son on his bank account as a cosigner but he was the primary owner.

Can the bank charge the son with fraud for spending the cash?

Unemployment appeal denied

I was denied unemployment insurance in the appeals process. I submitted a written account of my reasons for appealing including a perfectly analogous precedent decision by the state appeals board. I didn't bring up the precedent during the hearing, figuring that my written submission would carry the day. The administrative law judge's opinion denying my appeal did not mention the precedent decision. When I appealed to the state appeals board, I resubmitted my written reason for appealing. Again I was denied and told that I wasn't allowed to submit new evidence.

Why did the administrative law judge ignore the evidence I submitted in my written reason for appeal? Should I have mentioned the precedent decision verbally?

It is above min. wage, but is this legal and is there something in writing I can get my hands on to fight this injustice?

Timesheets

Is it legal for the payroll department to alter ones timesheet ( to benefit the employee) without consenting the employee?

For example, our company allows 3 floating holidays per year and we encourage people to use those before using vacation, b/c if they quit they will not get paid out for their unused floating holidays. They will only get paid for their unused vacation time.

So when the payroll department pro cesses timsheets, and an employee has used vacation time before their floating time, the payroll department may change the coding from vacation to floating holiday and not let the employee know.

Is this ok to do?

Postponing summary judgment date

I am representing myself. The defendant has filed a motion for summary judgment/summary adjudication and the hearing is set for May, 6, 08.

I just received notice of jury duty. I have been scheduled for jury duty the week of May 5, 08. I can not postpone my jury trail again since I had already postponed it once before due to a death in the family. If I file a motion to continue summary judgment, have it served on the defendant by mail, and set a hearing date based on 30 calendar days + 5 days, the hearing to postpone summary judgment will take place after May 6, which is after the motion filled by the defendant.

How can I postpone the summary judgment on May 6, 2008?

Thank you for your advice and time.
