A friend of mine asked me to lend him some money. Though I know that person for a long time, I want him to issue a relevant promissory note. Therefore I would like to know whether it is necessary to notarize the promissory note or not? 16.02.2010 I drove at 50 km/h – permitted speed limit in a populated area. The traffic police stopped me and informed that the speed limit was exceeded. I asked to show the speed displayed on the radar, but the police officer informed me that he used a built-in radar and he’s not obliged to show it. After that a report-decision was drawn-up for the imposing of the fine. I would like to know whether such actions of the police are lawful? 15.02.2010 I want to divorce my husband as fast as possible, but heard that divorce can take a lot of time. Is there a way to make it faster? 15.02.2010 Tell us what happens during SIA bankruptcy: are employees of this SIA automatically considered dismissed, or is there some special procedure, or should the director issue a dismissal order? I am interested in a document, on the basis of which, in this case, a person can apply for unemployment status. 10.02.2010 I want to marry an Englishman. We would like to conclude a marriage here in Latvia. What documents are needed for this? Does the registry office provide an interpreter for such cases, or can we invite an ordinary person from among our friends who speaks English? 09.02.2010 I am expecting a child from a man with whom we are not married, were not, and are not planning. He would like to give the child his last name. For me, this is unacceptable for a number of reasons. Firstly, I am convinced that the family should have one surname, and the family is me and my children. Secondly (and this is the main reason) – we already have one child, and he has my surname, and I am absolutely sure that my brother and sister, who, in all probability, will study at the same school and in general they will be together for a long time in life, the surname must be one, otherwise they will be constantly asked whether they are relatives, etc. Does the father of the child have the legal right to insist that the second child bear his last name? And what should I do to prevent this in any case? Now, if we come to register a child, and he will insist on his surname, and I – on his own – in whose favor will this be decided? 08.02.2010 Recently, I flew to Athens with a transfer in Milan. Somewhere along the way, my luggage apparently disappeared. It’s been 2 weeks now, the luggage was never found, what should I do? The airline responds to all my indignant calls and complaints that luggage is sure to be found and that everything possible is being done, but I no longer believe that my suitcase will ever be returned to me … 08.02.2010 Does the Latvian pension remain for non-citizens who have left Latvia for permanent residence upon moving to Russia or Belarus? 04.02.2010 Can I advertise gambling online? 04.02.2010 I would like to buy a company in Latvia. The seller, who owns 100% of the equity capital shares, wants to receive the purchase price at the time of signing purchase contract and other documents. But I’m worried about the transfer of ownership rights after the purchase price is paid. What if for some reason I won’t be registered in the Register of Enterprises as the new owner or the previous member of the board won’t be recalled? Is there a way to avoid such risks when buying a company? 04.02.2010
