Racketeering And Legal Standing

Summary

In Massachusetts, racketeering activities can impact legal standing and property rights. Illegal partnerships, like those involving 80 Fountain Street LLC, generally cannot establish legal rights or interests in property. Contracts based on illegal activities are void and unenforceable, as supported by cases like Kaiser Steel Corp. V. Mullins and Beacon Hill Civic Assn v. Ristorante Toscano, Inc. If you face similar issues, consider consulting a legal professional for guidance on your specific situation.

Case Rating: *
The ability to strike a discovery request on the grounds that a party lacks a legal license to do business depends on the specifics of the case and the discretion of the court. Here are some general points:
- A party without a legal business license may lack standing in some cases.
- Courts generally allow discovery requests if the party has been permitted to participate in the case.
- You may need to file a motion to challenge the standing of the party making the request.
Have you already raised the issue of the party's lack of a business license with the court?

what if at the time * and again on * the warehouser seized my prerty belongings without having a license but now that have the license as of two or three months agao. How does this affect the case?
Case Rating: *
The fact that the warehouse business did not have a license at the time of seizing your property but now has it could affect your case in the following ways:
- Past Actions: The lack of a license at the time of seizing your property could be used to challenge the legality of their actions.
- Current Compliance: Their current compliance may not retroactively legitimize past actions.
Have you already raised the issue of their lack of a license with the court?
alton is a plaintiff in warehouser case in housing court but he was a defandant but when the warehouser became a party to the case the judge moved Altons case to a new housing court case making Alton now a plaintiff sueing the warehouser. Is this procedurally right?
Case Rating: *
The procedural change from defendant to plaintiff can be appropriate depending on the specifics of the case. It usually happens if the court finds a valid reason to separate the claims, such as new parties or distinct legal issues.
Would you like more detailed information on the court's reasoning for this procedural change?
Ok but how could the judge give the warehouser standing once Alton out the court on notice that they didint have a license?
Case Rating: *
To provide you with a better answer, could you share if Alton has already filed a motion challenging the warehouser's standing based on their lack of a license?
he filed a motion and within it he placed the court on Notice for warehouser lack of license.
Case Rating: *
It seems that Alton has already raised the issue of the warehouser's lack of license with the court. Here are some steps you might consider:
- Follow-Up Motion: You could file a follow-up motion specifically challenging the warehouser's standing and any actions taken without a valid license.
- Highlight Case Law: Cite relevant Massachusetts and federal case law supporting your argument.
Would you like more assistance with drafting this follow-up motion?
what would Alton call the motion?
Case Rating: *
Alton could call the motion a "Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Standing." This motion would specifically challenge the warehouser's ability to participate in the case due to their lack of a valid business license at the relevant times.
