Here is an update, we got continued to a later date because the magistrate would like the city person that gave permission to testify in court as to the fact that he gave permission. However the Judge also said that just because a city official gives you permission don't take it as gods truth because if they are wrong you are in the wrong. In this situation we know we are not however she did say it. So my advise get written permission on everything. It is going to be a pain in the tail however look how much of a pain court is. I have already typed up a permission slip for all neighbors that my be effected while doing a job stating that they are giving the company the staff all other companies and staff that may be affiliated with us permission to drive, walk, park, place debris...... It is more detailed but that is the gist. I also put in there that all damage will be fixed by __________________ if any is created. this allows me to name the homeowner or our company or maybe a sub contracted company. So make sure you keep this issue in the back of your mind. I will let you know what the judges decision is once it is rendered after our next court date.
