When you went and started the business knowing about the contract, you took a chance that they wouldn't find out about it. I guess they did.  You can try and prove the contract was under duress, but that's going to be next to impossible to prove, especially without a lawyer to advise you.\n\nContracts are legally binding in the US because without them, the economy would fall apart from corruption.  Good luck.

yes it is possible to sue someone you've never met personaly\n\nno I dont think it would be possible to sue for that though, people lie all the time, and its not like he suffered a fninancil loss or anything, maybe he could say emotional distress but I think he would have a hard time proving and suing for that

A good friend of mine had a prosperous lawn mowing business. "Had" being the key word here. He refused to hire anyone that was in this country illegally. The competition started using illegal slave labor "mexicans" and put him right out of business. He had no problem at all finding people willing to work but when other companies are paying way below minimum wage....what could he do???

yes, you can sue. anyone can sue anyone, for anything. but whether they win or not is a different story. i work at a store similar to kmart, and we prosecute anyone who steals anything over $15. Think...what do they gain by charging you all that money? you go here and tell all of us that they charged you $400...and you probably told your fam. and friends too, right? well that sends out the message to all of us to NOT STEAL FROM KMART. that is exactly what they want. the moral of this story is to not steal from kmart.

Anybody can be sued for anything for any reason at any time (except maybe on Saturdays and Sundays).\n\nYou can use your competetor's names on your website but they can sue you if you hurt their business by telling untruths.\n\nSince words are often misinterpreted or interpreted differently by different people and the truth can be very different to different people, why would you take the chance of having to defend yourself in court, even if you're right.  Defending yourself, along with court costs and lawyer's fess can become very expensive.  Companies often take competitors to court to hurt them by forcing them to spend a lot of time and money defending themselves.  Do your competitors have much bigger wallets than you?\n\nWhy invite trouble and make it easy for them to do so?

sounds like a dream case for a hungry personal injury attorney....they usually need no money up front but will take at least 33% of anything you win.....Malls are insured, so I would definitely get a good attorney fast!!!!!

I think it's a travesty of justice, to say the very least (the rest I'd like to add I can't say on yahoo without them editing most of it!)  that the "rich and the famous" can get away with whatever the hell they do, unlike the rest of us "common-folk"! How are we supposed to want to respect authority when our laws only pertain to those who can't  even afford to hire a good defense attorney? It's B------t.

A customer in SC sued Pizza Hut for a racial slur that was printed on his receipt. You don't give any details, so I can't tell if your case would fall along similar lines, but it's certainly plausible, as long as actual defamation of character took place. Being abusive is not defamation.

yeah, why not. \nbut i blame the system for granting him a friggin world-wide monopoly. \n\nit's not his fault he's so filthy rich. it's the fault of the global business rules.

You can sue anyone for anything at anytime.  Whether or not you'll be SUCCESSFUL is another matter.  I actually think you're worrying about something that won't happen.\n\nLove Jack

Definitely not!  What right has the government got to take what someone has built up over their life??  I don't see anything unfair about it at all.\n\nPS no my family aren't multi millionaires - just average middle class family!!!

Actually, he wanted to sue himself the employee of the county as himself the citizen.\n\nHe tought that as being a citizen, he could sue himself as an employee and then the county would have to pay the citizen.\n\nSince this first attempt did not work because the court rejected the request, it was his wife who took over and sued his husband the county employee.\n\nIt's kind of a hilarious story by the way. I wonder if he will win.
