    Um, ok much as I would love to have a legal forum, its just too scary for the legal folk and for us to host. There are places even I fear to tread.

    Unless we could find a professional legal practitioneer to answer the questions posed and help us obviate the liability to Boards Ltd then we couldnt really chance it. We're out on a limb enough as it is! Its the same reason Occy cant mod a "Health/Medicine" board... professional restrictions.

    Anyway, Pets are unlikely to sue if you feed them the wrong thing so we've created that board alright. It will appear in the Nav tomorrow, its available today if you navigate to it using UBB's built in navigation.

    Sense has prevailed...
    In so far as a Pets board is sensible vis-a-vis a Legal board.

    --
    Just for completness...
    Pets are unlikely to sue

    Pets have assumed legal personality in the US. And they've sued ex partae in Probate cases where their owners have designated them sole beneficiaries of their will, but the deceased's other relatives refuse to accept the will.

    Its a crazy world we live:rolleyes:

    Fair 'nuff.

    The above is very true. I hadn't considered the ramifications when I was agitating for the Law Forum.

    Yeah, a pet is a lot less scary than a tee'd off lawyer I reckon.
    A rabid Rottweiler is a pussy compared to a legal eagle with his feathers ruffled (to mix a metaphor or two)

    Just say 80project gave some legal advise about, say home rental laws. Technically he could be done for eroticizing law without a license, technically I could be done as well, but im just spouting bull****.

    Seriously though its the same reason if you had a taxation forum no revenue commissioner would touch it.

    Ps, its not a speeling mistake
