(Leasing pen-dense) n. Latin for "a lawsuit pending", a written notice that legal action has been brought concerning ownership of or interest in immovable property. Lis pendens (or notices of pending claims) are filed with the court registry, certify that they have been filed, and then recorded by the County Recorder. This informs the defendant who owns real estate that there is a claim to the property, and the record informs the public (and in particular anyone interested in buying or financing the property) that this potential claim exists against them. Lis pendens must include a legal description of the property, and the action must concern the property. Otherwise, if there is an application for removal of lis pendens from immovable property that is not a party to the action, the plaintiff who initially registered a false lis pendens will be ordered to pay attorney`s fees as a penalty. Example: Joe Plumbob provides labour and materials to Smith`s home, sues to enforce a mechanic`s privilege, but registers a lis pendens describing three other properties owned by Smith; Plumbob can be punished by court order. (v. 1) Discredit the testimony of a witness by proving that he did not tell the truth or that he was contradictory by presenting evidence to the contrary, including statements made outside the courtroom in statements or statements made by the witness being questioned by another. and (2) to charge a public official with a public crime punishable by impeachment. A president, Andrew Johnson, was impeached in 1868 for violating federal law in a politically motivated impeachment trial, but acquitted by one vote in a Senate trial.
President Richard Nixon resigned in 1974 instead of facing the threat of impeachment from the House of Representatives in the Watergate affair, in which he was accused of obstructing the investigation and lying to Congress about his involvement. Several federal judges have been indicted and nine have been convicted by the Senate. Imminent danger or imminent danger[1] is an American legal concept in which imminent danger is "certain, imminent and imminent danger"; threatening and threatening. [2] In many U.S. states, the mere need for prompt action does not constitute an emergency under the doctrine of imminent danger if the situation requiring action is one that should reasonably have been foreseen and for which the person whose action is required should have been prepared; [3] The doctrine of immediate danger does not excuse anyone who caused the danger through their own negligence. [4] In California, legislation allows a person to use lethal force to defend themselves against death or serious injury if they believe they are in imminent danger. [5] Raymond L. Middleton, Warden v. Sally Marie McNeil is a California case that espouses this doctrine. [6] Florida`s 2012 laws set measurable conditions for determining whether "fear of imminent danger" is appropriate under the law.
[7] Both the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Law Commission (ILC) have recognized the underlying motivations of the legitimate fear of imminent danger and have taken steps to define the consequences of self-defence against such dangers, if any. [8] Danger is synonymous with danger,[9] but it lacks the suddenness of the qualifier "imminent". The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates safety standards for workplaces in the United States. Its legal obligation is to identify hazardous conditions in the workplace with the potential for sudden hazards and to require employers to actively mitigate the risks. [10].
