main-relief rule

Read a random definition: collusive action

A quick definition of main-relief rule:

The main-relief rule is a legal principle that allows a lawsuit to be filed in a specific location based on the main reason the plaintiff is seeking relief, even if other claims in the lawsuit would not support that location. Essentially, it means that if the main issue in the case is related to a specific location, the lawsuit can be filed there, even if other parts of the case are not directly related to that location.

A more thorough explanation:

The main-relief rule is a legal principle that allows a plaintiff to choose the venue for a lawsuit based on the primary relief they are seeking, even if other claims included in the suit would not support venue on their own.

Let's say a person is injured in a car accident in California, but the driver who caused the accident lives in New York. The injured person could file a lawsuit in California, even though the defendant does not live there, because the primary relief sought is compensation for the injuries sustained in the accident. The fact that the defendant lives in New York would not prevent the lawsuit from being filed in California under the main-relief rule.

Another example could be a case where a plaintiff is seeking a restraining order against a defendant who lives in a different state. The plaintiff could file the lawsuit in their home state, even though the defendant does not live there, because the primary relief sought is the restraining order.

These examples illustrate how the main-relief rule allows plaintiffs to choose the venue for their lawsuit based on the primary relief they are seeking, rather than being limited by the location of the defendant or other factors.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
