LEGAL INQUIRY.

FAIR PLAY.—Your neighbour will be liable for any damage he does to the wall. Yon cannot prevent him building" up his section, provided that he does your property no substantial harm, or does no damage to the fence. «iI"ANTO. —Your position is the same as that referred to in the answer to Fair Play. Y'our neighbour is liable for repairs necessitated by his action. B.W. —Provided that you cannot be said to be imposing on His Majesty's subjects you would be within the law. Personally I think you would *be foolish to take the risk, which to my mind is no light one. BUSINESS LADY. —If the agreement evidencing the second sale is well drawn will be able to prevent A from breaking the original agreement. Morally, of course, A's action in competing would be indefensible. I.H. —You have no claim. You are doubtless liable to pay the balance and refusing to take delivery will not excuse you. HUIA—If you explain your position to your creditors they will doubtless be reasonable. If you are unable to pay your debts you may file in bankruptcy. Your pension cannot be taken. K.F.F.—If the magistrate thought you were able to contribute he would ord"r you to do so. As you do not ,-ratv what family you have to keep on the wage. I cannot express my opinion, but assuming there are no children, you would probably be ordered to pay 5/ per week. WORRIED. —If the plans were useless and could not have been emended you are not liable. If. however, small amendments could have been made, you should have given the designer an opportunity of making ihe alterations and you will be liable, if not for the full price, then for part. FOROIGU.—The award of the foreign court can be enforced in New Z-'Slliind by appropriate means, hut unless ;}ie amount involved is large the utile;party is not likely to take this step. N.Z.— (1) The workmen are entitled to damages, which would not be create, than the wages for each day they we-n engaged, but not employed or paid. (2) The circumstances you mention amount to a breach of contract, for which damages could be claimed.
