#small claims court
Text
I was on trial for something normal like shoplifting in a small claims court, but then I got randomly accused of being a spy because I was also Nathan Hale, for some reason. I was also trying to leave so I could get to opening night of a musical I was in. Everybody at the court was very dramatic and some people had intense monologues and/or cried. All I could think about is getting to the theater on time.

You don't hear much about small claims court anymore. I wonder how the graph of their inflation-adjusted cutoffs for claim value over time looks like

What to do if you get sued in small claims?
If you find yourself being sued in small claims court, it's essential to navigate the process carefully and be aware of your rights and responsibilities. Here's a general guide how to handle being sued in small claims:
1. Understand the Claim: Take the time to carefully read the claim against you. It should outline the details of the dispute, including the amount being claimed.
2. Respond Promptly: Small claims court operates on strict timelines. You typically have a limited period to respond to the claim after being served with the court documents.
3. Gather Information: Collect any relevant documents, contracts, receipts, or evidence that can support your case. This may include communication records, photos, or any other documentation related to the dispute.
4. Attend the Hearing: Small claims court hearings are relatively informal, but attending is crucial. If you fail to appear, the court may rule in favor of the other party by default.
5. Mediation (if applicable): Some small claims courts may offer mediation services before the scheduled hearing. It's voluntary, but participating in good faith can lead to a mutually agreeable resolution.
6. Attorney Consultation(optional): While small claims court is designed for individuals to represent themselves, you have the option to consult with an attorney if you feel the need for legal advice.
7. Be Professional: Maintain a professional behaviour throughout the process. Avoid personal attacks and focus on presenting facts and evidence that support your position.
8. Judgment and Appeal: After the hearing, the judge will issue a judgment. If the judgment is in your favor, it may require the other party to pay a specific amount. If the judgment is against you, you may need to comply with any orders issued by the court. In some cases, there may be a possibility to appeal the decision.
9. Comply with the Judgment: If the court orders you to pay a specific amount or take certain actions, comply with the judgment promptly. Failure to do so may result in further legal consequences.
Remember that small claims court is designed to be accessible and less formal than other court proceedings. Familiarize yourself with the rules and procedures of the specific small claims court in your jurisdiction, and consider seeking legal advice if needed.

Hmm, is that the sound of chickens, beginning to come home to roost?
After months of resisting, Air Canada was forced to give a partial refund to a grieving passenger who was misled by an airline chatbot inaccurately explaining the airline's bereavement travel policy.
...
Air Canada was seemingly so invested in experimenting with AI that Crocker told the Globe and Mail that "Air Canada’s initial investment in customer service AI technology was much higher than the cost of continuing to pay workers to handle simple queries." It was worth it, Crocker said, because "the airline believes investing in automation and machine learning technology will lower its expenses" and '"fundamentally" create "a better customer experience."
I also highly recommend reading the decision itself:
Highlights:
"In effect, Air Canada suggests the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions. This is a remarkable submission."
"While Air Canada argues Mr. Moffatt could find the correct information on another part of its website, it does not explain why the webpage titled “Bereavement travel” was inherently more trustworthy than its chatbot. It also does not explain why customers should have to double-check information found in one part of its website on another part of its website."
And not "AI" related, but delicious snark:
"Air Canada is a sophisticated litigant that should know it is not enough in a legal process to assert that a contract says something without actually providing the contract."
#ai bs#lol#and good for the customer for refusing to take the company's shit#and taking them to court#I am a big fan of customers taking companies to small claims court

fae court but it's a legal court, changelings are fae they leave in place of human jurors during the trial because it's the best way to prevent the trial from just becoming a bunch of fairies trying to one up the best bargain for their vote with the accused
#now this could be funny or concerning based on how much time a trial actually takes#but i think it would be funny if fairies had a constitutional right to NOT be tried by their peers (aka other fairies) so that they didn't#have to incur debt to get a fair ruling)#and also if. fairies had a constitution.#but also this means fae get jury duty letters too. or more accurately changeling duty let's#*letters#or maybe some fae are career changelings that just are good at acting human and so the court pays them to do it full time#maybe it's both like a big city can afford court appointed career changelings#but it smaller counties with less resources well. it's changeling duty time#'pocket why are you thinking so much about jury duty' because i was trying to think of funny places to say you met your spouse#(because i just learned something funny about a relative lol)#and 'oh yeah we met at jury duty' popped into my head#so now I've been thinking about it. like is this an established trope in romance circles? i could see it but dunno myself#and also thinking about how i have got to get that jury duty experience approved for my students so many of them don't know....#and then the fae court fic I'm reading in the background bled in#probably fed by that one post that's like small claims fae court#and now. considering the systems of government that would be in place to allow these scenarios fbchvjm#... o need to go to be#bed

Rhaenyra getting more shit for staying on Dragonstone instead of in King's Landing to play the political game or whatever than Viserys gets for recalling Otto as Hand, thus pretty much handing power to the faction he knows to be his heir's political opponents and metaphorically shooting Rhaenyra in the political kneecaps, is one of the most Takes in a fandom full of Takes
#like if you're gonna point to rhaenyra fucking up on that one you ought to point to viserys too#could she have done more to shore up her claim? sure. could viserys have done more to shore up her claim? hell fucking yeah#sorry but showing up on his literal last day wasn't enough#he should have made *her* the hand after lyonel's death#the fact that he didn't and instead recalled otto is the dumbest most insane decision taken by anyone in the show so far#and the one thing that most contributed to creating the conditions for the aegon/rhaenyra face-off to happen#also like if we're talking optics how do you think it looks like to the court & co that instead of HIS ACTUAL HEIR#he chose otto?? it looks like he doesn't trust his heir to rule is what it looks like#and also!! it's a pattern with viserys. he keeps rhaenyra as cupbearer after naming her heir. he puts alicent on the small council for some#reason even as she's going around in hightower loyalties green. which is even more ?? when you remember the firing otto scene#ep6 shows alicent ordering rhaenyra around shooting her down etc. viserys doesn't even try to fight on the helaena/jace proposal#with otto back as hand even if she'd been in kl rhaenyra would have been in a shit position#and the optics wouldn't have been good either everyone would have seen power was on the otto&alicent side not the heir's#again: could she have fought harder? sure. did viserys create the conditions for her to be sidelined in the first place? duh fucking duh#house of the dragon#westerosi politics

What to Do If Your Demand Letter Is Not Delivered?
If your demand letter is not delivered, you should find the reason. It's advisable to track the letter and confirm the address details. If the issue persists, consider contacting the postal service. In terms of a refund, it depends on the service provider's policies. Some postal services or courier companies may offer compensation or refunds for undelivered letters, while others may not. Review the terms and conditions of the service used and inquire about refund options if applicable. If the letter's contents are time-sensitive, you might need to resend it promptly using a more reliable delivery method.
