Sticky situation

[sidecar bob]

She dosent actually want the bike, she just wants to fuck him up & piss him off & taking the bike will do that.
Tell the tired bitch to go fuck herself.

Couple of months ago I finished restoring an older Triumph for a work mate.
He owes me $3500 and he knows he will not be getting the bike until I'm paid.
All good between him and I,I'm not in a hurry and he will eventually front up.

But his ex Mrs has now contacted me offering to pay me out as she wants the bike.

He say's "hell no",,,she say's shes owed.

So before I ring my own lawyer and have to pay for it,,,Where do I stand on this ?

Tell her to fuck off. (unless it gets to the point where you think he might not pay up)

[mashman]

Ask her how much she really wants the bike ... make sure to take pics and then blackmail the dirty bitch. win win win

[nodrog:Me]

Tell her its $3500 and a root up the bum.

[Akzle]

You may or may not be right but then I've won my cases and I'll stick to what I know if you don't mind

i don't mind at all, i just wondered why you threw the word tort in there.

contract law=yup.

tort law involves claiming for damages above those that were naturally incurred in teh commission of teh crime..
ie. she stole 100$ from me, but for loss of enjoyment, and my emotional emo shit, she should pay be 500$ compensation.

My perspective on the law; if they were together for more than 2 years and have now separated, then the 'Property (Relationships) Act 1976' has now granted her some interest in the motorcycle. It makes no difference that you started dealing with your mate. It makes no different you had a "contract" with him (even if only verbally) originally.

However it is not for you to decide what that financial interest should be, nor what any property separation agreement should say. So I would sit tight and do nothing until the two parties have sorted it out between themselves. And if she contacts you, you can tell her the same - that she needs to settle her property agreement with her ex before anything is going to happen.

Two things.
Who is the bike registered with
Not too sure in this but the law of contract and possibly tort would suggest that the bike is held in a contract relationship between you and "him"
You would risk breaking that contract if you released the bike to "her"

Registration is not proof of ownership, but you are correct in respect of a contract existing regarding the work done on the bike. Unless she can prove ownership beyond a doubt, releasing the bike to her would be a very bad idea.

I would have thought this was the case also... HDC?
