		<description><![CDATA[If I have receipts for land that say "paid in full" can court order seller to turn over deeds to buyer? Originally my husband and I entered in to verbal agreement to purchase 10 lots from this individual, we have paid for 5 lots in full and paid last years taxes on all 10 lots have receipt stating so signed by the seller. There is no written contract stating a specific date by which all ten lots had to be paid for. Wouldn't these events look suspicious enough to any judge and the out come be in my favor if in fact I have to go through legal system to obtain deeds for property I have paid for &#038; be allowed to purchase the remaining lots?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a contract with my previous company that states when the company sells, someday, I get 5% of the sale price. They are now selling off a piece of the company (not a separate company, just a d.b.a. division) for $100,000. Am I entitled to $5,000 or can they just keep selling off pieces without giving me anything?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We  got a used van from a dealership under their auto financing. When we got home, my wife happened to looked for our van in the dealerships website inventory. She found out the price of the car was $1,000 less from what we have paid for. I know I'm somewhat at his mercy for I already signed the loan contract, is there a way I can demand this 1,000 dollars be deducted from my purchase price?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was inebriated and don't remember many details when I checked into a medical detox for alcohol.  After 2 days and receiving very little care and no counseling I decided that I needed to go to a different facility.  When I asked for a refund of my pre-paid balance of $9,500 they said that I waived my refund when I signed in. Is there an issue of "sound mind and body" that would invalidate or nullify this contract that I haven't even seen?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am being sued by John Deere for a tractor which I had paid $17,000 back 4 years ago.  The indvidial whom I purchased it from never paid off the tractor and filed Bankruptcy.  John Deere has filed a civil action against me for the tractor.  I was unaware of any title on tractors and never research it to see if there was ever a lien on the tractor. Do I have any legal recourse in this matter?  What do you see the court's decision to be on this?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in a Condo association in Pa. Our community is approx. 25% full and our condo documents state 2 members of the association should serve on the board at this time.  Therefore the residents have elected 2 board members (one being myself).  However when we have board meetings the developer (who supposedly is the other 75% of board) has no communication with us an never shows up at the board meetings.  Instead the property management company is there in his place.   They never let us decide anything, and they adhocly do what they want without even consulting us. Is there something I can do about this situation?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a business where I provide passenger gifts for people who are going on cruise ships. Today one of the cruiselines decided to not allow any of our gift packages on board that contain alcohol. They have accepted our gifts for 17 years &#038; accept a $5 per item receiving fee. At no point prior have they refused any gift &#038; have cashed our checks for the fees. This action will put us out of business, I have already had to refund thousands of dollars to customers &#038; have thousands more that will need to be refunded. Is this legal? Do I have any recourse?]]></description>
