So she gave the case back to me and I presented the affidavit from the new tenant confirming the move-in date. Dumbo from the leasing office piped in with “Your honor, in almost every case we can return some money, but in this case we didn’t have a tenant in the two months after he left.” In court, the judge was commenting on how he didn’t see anything explicitly saying they would return any unused rent, even though that intent was stated to me a few times. I talked to the new tenant and confirmed they moved in a week later. I checked with the office ahead of time, and they ensured me there was a waiting list for the units, so I gave them the two months and moved. My lease had an exit clause that said if I fronted two months’ rent, they would work to lease my place and return any money that was unused. I represented myself in small claims court. When pressed on what that meant, she said “herself.” That got reused prominently at trial. She said she “answered to a higher power than the company.” One of the defendants was the one being deposed. These were not the smartest bulbs in the drawer- but at the deposition, they really let it all hang out. Using the company laptop to try to do it just made it way easier to catch them…when the company IT guy found all the emails. I believe we also went after them for intentional interference with contract, as they weren’t trying to solicit new clients for their business, but rather trying to get existing ones to break their contracts with our client. They were trying to poach existing clients while still employed, which breached their fiduciary duty, particularly of loyalty. Now, there isn’t anything specifically wrong about wanting to leave one company and start your own. It was a case where two former employees decided to start their own company in a VERY niche market, but decided to make their plans on company laptops they unsuccessfully tried to brick. The look on the judge’s face was equally memorable.ĭuring a deposition. I still remember the look on her face when I handed her the driving record and said, “Except for that one time you got caught a month later, right?”
The girl testified at trial that she had given him the keys that night because she had been drinking and she “would never, ever drink and drive.” I just sat back and let her speak, because she didn’t know that I’d already won.Īpparently, she was not aware that I had requested and obtained a copy of her driving record, which showed she received a charge for exactly that-drinking and then driving-after the incident in question. I had a client who was accused of taking a young woman’s car and then crashing it and fleeing the scene. From brilliant loopholes to jaw-dropping “I rest my case!” moments, these huge legal wins are incredibly satisfying. Once mounted, it’s a good idea to give the wheel a shake and rotate it, so that the sealant covers the inside of the tyre, helping to stop any potential leaks.Being a lawyer isn’t always easy, but sometimes, you get wins so incredible, they’re straight out of a courtroom drama.
Attach the Airshot tubeless inflator to the valve and follow the instructions in the Airshot box for trouble free tubeless inflation.Mount the other side of the tyre, ensuring the valve is pointing upwards from the floor.Add some sealant, usually around 50 ml is sufficient, but it can depend on tyre size.Seat your tyre on only one side, as you would if you were fitting a tube.Push your tubeless specific valve through the hole and tighten the lock nut.Pierce a hole in the tape in-line with the hole in the rim.Ensure tape is pulled taught when wrapped around the rim leaving a smooth taped surface overlapping the tape by 6 inches or so is advised.Rims vary in width so it’s a good idea to purchase tape of a similar width as your rim.Clean the rim thoroughly giving the tape the best chance of sticking to the rim and creating an air tight seal.The rim must be taped so that air does not leak out of the spoke eyelets.Tubeless setupįollow these 12 step-by-step instructions to get started with running tubeless on your bike Sounds good? Follow the steps below to setup tubeless with ease. Tubeless setups reduce rotating weight and you can run much lower pressures and still keep a relatively good rolling speed. There are several reasons for this, you are much less likely to get a pinch-puncture and they are pretty much thorn resistant.
It is now accepted that tubeless tyres offer much better performance than running inner tubes.
