| Jun 9, 2019 at 11:32 | comment | added | Robert Columbia | @NateEldredge also, the statutory law and case law are (in theory) available to all. In fact, many public libraries will have bound law volumes somewhere with copies of statutes and major cases, and transcripts of historical cases (both precedent-setting and non) are available at courthouses. | |

| Jun 8, 2019 at 2:16 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | A couple of key phrases from that link: “[r]eliance is ‘justifiable’ only when ‘circumstances [are] such to make it reasonable for plaintiff to accept defendant’s statements without an independent inquiry or investigation.'". Is it reasonable to base your decision on the sign instead of on independent legal advice? “[a] party is not justified in relying on representations when he or she had ample opportunity to ascertain the truth of the representations before acting.” Surely one has ample opportunity to research the law oneself (or hire a lawyer to do so) before deciding whether to sue. | |
| Jun 8, 2019 at 2:13 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | According to mitchell-attorneys.com/common-law-fraud, one of the elements of common-law fraud is that the injured party must have reasonably and justifiably relied on the truth of the defendant's representation. Is it reasonable or justifiable to rely on such a sign when trying to decide whether or not you can sue? | |
