Alchenar posted:We actually have a whole court system based around dealing with employee rights: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-tribunals-powers-their-use-and-application. The tribunal consists of a professional judge and two lay members and it's pretty fast, neat and cheap. It's not perfect but people bringing claims often don't have lawyers and it does not stop them winning. You also don't get to use it except for very egregrious cases unless you've been working for your current employer for two years. Thanks New Labour/Coalition!

DaveSauce posted:Interesting, my understanding of double jeopardy was that new evidence was grounds for retrying someone. Not sure why I thought that, something about it being a different trial even though the crime is the same? It is grounds (now) in the UK. In the US isn't there a thing where it doesn't apply if you're retried federally for something thats also a state crime or vice versa? feedmegin fucked around with this message at 23:18 on May 9, 2019 |

Leperflesh posted:Interesting. A skimming of the article suggests some trains are automated and some are manually driven, but there's no elaboration on when or why. No? To the best of my knowledge all DLR trains are 100% automated. I've never seen a driver and I dont know where they would even sit. Other bits of the Underground/TfL still have drivers. The article suggests there's a dude on there checking tickets etc who could take control in an emergency, but in normal operation, it's fully automated. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Apr 7, 2020 |

Motronic posted:It's a lot more realistic than most people think. You just need to get out of the mentality that someone willing to hire you is doing YOU a favor. That very much depends on your line of work and seniority. I could do that as a senior computer toucher. Someone applying as a fry cook? Come on now.

Motronic posted:Of course there's a limit to this. My point is more people are capable of this than they think. And it's also a tragedy of the commons the lower on the ladder you go.....since very few do it........wait....it's almost like if there were some method of collectively doing this as labor with the people hiring labor. Someone who could bargain for you........ Alternatively then someone applying for their very first programming job, but you did pretty much claim everyone has this leverage in general. We are privileged to be in this position.

Eminent Domain posted:Do the needful mods. There was absolutely a court appearance involved in mine, because Michigan requires that, which was super weird to me. But yeah, my ex and I didnt have kids or property, we'd already been separated for a while, we were on decent terms, and I'm sure that absolutely makes things a lot more simple.

FrozenVent posted:Not a lawyer but it’s super normal to ask suppliers and contractors for proof of insurance. Chances are they already have a letter or certificate from their insurer without any confidential info ready to go because they get asked often. Grip it and rip it posted:Ahem, if you don't trust me then maybe this won't be a good working relationship. Um. Just want to point out these two posts right next to each other

Deleting it from your phone also probably won't actually delete it given how both filesystems and flash memory work.

Chamale posted:Would this be insurance fraud? The Titan hits an iceberg while the sailor on lookout was drunk, which voids the Titan's insurance policy. The only person alive to testify to this fact is the sailor himself, and he freely tells the insurance company's lawyers. When he learns that the child he rescued from the wreck will get a large inheritance if the insurance is paid out, he refuses to testify. Jurisdiction is 19th-century England, although I don't know if this thread has any historian lawyers. So uh that sub didn't implode, it time travelled? (You mean the Titanic)

EwokEntourage posted:We also have a lot of stories about the pope having orgies. None of it has any bearing on whether the average person put any stock into it (since the average person didn’t understand Latin and didn’t understand the church service, or probably didn’t speak whatever language the courts worked in, and who knows whether they even made it to any sort of court proceedings and whether it was just handled summarily by whatever authority figure was present.) Religious oaths in the Middle Ages are not just a court thing. I myself swore 'do fidem' to the corporation of my mediaeval university when I graduated. Guilds have the same deal, so do feudal oaths of fealty. Oaths very much do matter and are taken seriously. Also who is 'average person' here? Peasants don't go to court but also to a first approximation they simply don't matter in society.
