MY HEN WAS TAKEN!

 



By #BarefootLawyers.


Allan had been saving the whole year in preparation for the church auction during Christmas. Every Christmas, the church asks people to bring different items like hens, goats, crops, etc., to sell them in church to the highest bidder. When the priest raised the hen for sale, Allan immediately shouted that he had 5000 for the hen. No one else spoke and on the third hammer, the hen was given to him. As he was standing to walk away with this hen, someone who was introduced as a Kampala don walked in and told the priest they wanted to pay 50,000 for the hen. The hen was forcefully taken away from Allan and given to the Kampala man. Allan broke down and cried, saying it was unfair because they had already given it to him and his family was expecting it. He has vowed to get the hen back. 

 

 WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? 


According to the law, a contract is established when the parties agree. In circumstances of auctions, the contract is sealed and enforceable at the sounding of the last hammer. This means when someone makes a bid for something and the person announcing announces three times and officially says it is sold to that person, then they cannot change their mind. The item belongs to them at the fall of the hammer and money is exchanged.  


Therefore, Allan can go to the small claims division or the LC Court to report this breach of contract matter so that the hen is returned to him.

Surgeons fined $60,000 and banned permanently from profession after billionaire died during penis enlargement surgery.

Surgeons have been banned from practicing plastic surgery after a billionaire patient died during a penis enlargement procedure. Belgian-Israeli diamond dealer Ehud Arye Laniado, 65, died of a heart attack during the procedure to enlarge his penis at the Saint-Honore-Ponthieu aesthetic clinic in Paris. His star surgeon, known as Guy H, was known for operating on wealthy clients and he treated Ehud two to four times a year in procedures costing tens of thousands of euros. Wealthy Omega Diamonds owner Ehud would be operated on out of office hours. He had been having injections into his penis to make it appear larger.
