I know the group has more important issues to be concerned with at the moment but I thought I'd share this...

It's a presentment from a state department addressed to "The occupier"... To me that's the most blatant offer of surety I've ever seen :p

I was thinking for a response...

"There is no-one by the title "The occupier" at this address. Please review your records and forward any further correspondence accordingly"

Thoughts?

(The blanked out parts of the letter are in the Irish language)

Occupier LEGAL definition :/

OCCUPIER. One who is in the enjoyment of a thing. 2. He may be the occupier by virtue of a lawful contract, either express or implied, or without any contract. The occupier is, in general, bound to make the necessary repairs to premises he occupies the cleansing and repairing of drains and sewers, therefore, is prima facie the duty of him who occupies the premises.

See: citizen, denizen, domiciliary, habitant, inhabitant, inmate, lessee, lodger, occupant, resident, tenant

WIKI "A "television set",..., is a device that combines a tuner, display, and speakers for the purpose of viewing television."

If the tuner, display or speakers are separate, would one still have a television "SET"?

Would a computer with a receiver be considered a "television set"?

Just a couple of left field questions. :P

I have seen a few Youtubies, even with cops, at the door turned away by simply standing their ground. We don't have this here is Canada so I don't bother with stating any opinion. The questions I presented were a simple argument showing a possible work around. That's all.

Do you therefore think it to be a "contract offer?

If someone accepted the terms of such a 'offer to contract'/order, had mistakenly took it for a Bill/Invoice... 1) could the contract be "Annulled/Voided" whereas all previous paid funds would be returned?; 2) would that someone have to 'settle' with the account cancellation with no further funds exchanged?; 3) is that someone bound to the conditions of the contract and may have to pay funds to end the contract?; 4) it depends on other circumstances?; 5) required to carry out the contract for it's declared duration? 6) other?

I am leaning to #2 and walk away. If the answer is #1, I think the refund would not be given willingly and action to collect would be required.

Am I over-thinking this?
