No Liability on Buyer's Fall . . . Have a Nice Trip Part II

What's more shocking to me is that a LAWYER tried to make the words FOR SALE (on a sign posted on the property) mean "express and/or implied" inviation to enter the premises.  Kathy Streib Good grief, to quote Snoopy!!

Well, FOR SALE does not mean come on it.  Thankfully the courts in Colorado got it right!!  @Chris Ann Cleland 

Exactly . . . 

Thanks Diana Zaccaro .  I shudder too!  LOL

People don't understand property rights . . . they don't understand the concept of trespass.  Pity.  I had an incident just today .  The sign on my garage, just before you walk up the path to the door says "No soliciting"  If that sign is posted, according to Beaverton City Code, then it's trespassing no bout a'doubt it.  So I open the door today after the door bell rang, and this young man stands on the porch.  "Are you planning to vote . . . " and I interrupt with: "Did you see the No Soliciting sign?" He says, "Yes, I saw it . . . but I'm not selling anything . . . "

OMIGOSH -- No Soliciting means No Soliciting . . . he didn't have to solicit something to sell.  He was there to solicit me to "get out to vote" -- which is asinine in and of itself since we have MAIL IN ballots here, no one goes "out to vote" anymore.  Anyway, the spin meisters are everywhere!! Debbie Laity maybe Mr. I'm Not Soliciting should go to work for the Frickey Law Firm, LOL

Who knows, may be he already works there, or he IS Mr. Frickey!

Yes, I thought that too Evelyn Johnston ... they should have filed a counter for filing a frivilous lawsuit.   FOR SALE means just that. It's not, and never will be and invite to come on to the property.  Geez.  The owner was a bank, and this was a REO.  The bank had the deep pockets and I'm guessing they were looking at it from that angle.  

The lawyer knew or should have known that the FOR SALE sign did not amount to an "invitation" onto the property.  That is the case they were trying to make Jerry Newman .  While one can sue, it's the precendent of the case that is the point.  Can you imagine what would happen if the FOR SALE sign was to be perceived as an "invitation"?  This is the matter that was being adjudicated. 

And then when someone, like myself, would like to access the courts because they were butchered by an MD, the gatekeepers disallow.  It's all a game of "precedent" setting.  What they will, or will not, set as precendent.  Your comment is right on!  Two words, that don't mean ENTER!  Or "permission to enter."  Thanks for the comment.  Debe Maxwell 

I agree and then again, I don't agree.  When I had my medical oopsie doodle, I could not find a lawyer to represent me.  I had to sue the orthobutcher myself, is pro se.  My injuries weren't frivilous, nor was my lawsuit.  However, it would have done one thing, and one thing alone -- open up the medical insurance company to liability.  So they (the defense firm) pimp out my medical injuries and pain/suffering for their fun/profit and I was left with nothing but a story in the New York Times.  People with money can sue.  People who are up against the medical/legal cartel can not.
