Legal advice

A company that I work for doesn’t pay salaries for a few months. According to unofficial information, the owner of the company plans to submit application for initiation of the insolvency proceedings. What are the chances to receive unpaid salary, if the company will be declared bankrupt? 10.03.2010 We sat and drank tea in the kitchen, and suddenly we heard that something had flashed in the room, and then it started to explode, we ran into the room and saw that the computer was on fire, then the microwave. I called an emergency crew. They arrived and said that the zero wire has burnt in the panel (where the electric meters are) in the staircase. I asked them to prepare the act, as I have to take it to the insurance company (I thought we had insurance), and they said that the act will be given to me on Monday (it happened on Saturday). As a result, I never received any act. What should I do, how to recover losses if the apartment was not insured? 05.03.2010 My ex-husband lives in the UK. He invited to visit our common daughter (11 years old) for a spring holidays. Most likely she will have to fly alone, because I will not be able to accompany her because of a lot of work. Can a child fly alone, will she have problems? 05.03.2010 I’m 7 months pregnant, I’m going to fly to Norway for my best friend’s wedding. I feel very good, but I’m afraid that there would be problems when passing through passport control, well, in the plane itself – what if I were not allowed to board at all? The airline may be afraid to take such responsibility! 05.03.2010 Where in Latvia it is possible to carry out the DNA analysis for the determination of paternity? Will it be considered in the process of paternity dispute? 02.03.2010 A web-site is using my name in its banner ad without my permission. I would like to know whether the web-site is violating my rights or any law. May I request the web-site to at least stop the advertisement? 02.03.2010 Черновик 23.02.2010 I do computer graphics and publish works in online photobanks where they can be purchased. According to standard licensing agreements, the buyer does not have the right to resell the image, replicate it, mass produce stickers, badges and other things where the image remains an image. Found that one British online store offers for sale stickers on laptop computers with my images. I haven’t contacted the photobank yet, since they don’t oblige themselves to protect the images in any situation, but I would like to stop the illegal use of the products. I live in Latvia, the photobank seems to be American, the store is British. In general, I, of course, do not mind someone releasing stickers with my images, but I want to get my share of the copyright for this. Can I ask the seller for stickers to pay a fine and share part of the profit? Or, if the pictures were transferred to the photobank, I can do nothing but demand to stop the illegal use? Is it worth making a test purchase of a sticker to have proof? 22.02.2010 I took out a loan from a company for a term of 10 years. I received a letter of claim from the administrator requesting to return the loan in full. Is it lawful for administrator to request the pre-term loan repayment? 18.02.2010 I’ve been involved in a road traffic accident which wasn’t my fault. My car was crashed so I turned to the insurance company of the driver who caused the accident. The insurance company had paid out insurance indemnity only after 4 months. The problem is that I’m a taxi driver and was deprived of my earnings due to the fault of the insurer. May I receive compensation for lost profits from the insurance company? 18.02.2010
