A plaintiff properly filed a complaint in federal district court under diversity jurisdiction against an electrician. According

to the complaint, the electrician allegedly negligently performed electrical work in a building owned by the plaintiff, which resulted in a fire that caused $150,000 in damages to the building. The electrician served an answer to the complaint. Twelve days later, the electrician filed with the court and served, without leave of the court, a summons and third-party complaint on his partner. The electrician and his partner are citizens of different states. According to this complaint, if the electrician is liable to the plaintiff, the partner is liable to the electrician for half of the damages. The partner has moved to dismiss this claim against him.

Answer:

Allow the claim, because the electrician has timely asserted the claim against his partner, and the court has supplemental jurisdiction.

Explanation:

In the given scenario after the electrician has been served with the complaint, he in turn filed twelve days later with the court and served, without leave of the court, a summons and third-party complaint on his partner.

The electrician and the partner are in different states.

Supplemental jurisdiction gives a federal court the right to hear additional claims related to a case before them. Even though the court would not normally have jurisdiction if the claim were presented independently.

So the court can here the claim even when the partner is from another state. Also the electrician asserted the claim in a timely manner.

What group of colonists faced hostility as a result of their views regarding the Declaration of Independence?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The Declaration of Independence did not spark any hostility because by the time Thomas Jefferson wrote it and it was sign in the fourth of July in 1776, all the colony's representatives were in agreement. However, the Continental Congress was very tense when independence came into question. When British troops attacked Concord, there was no choice but to decide what was next and after hostility occurred here, the congress voted to stay loyal but King George III said that their congress was illegal and all involved could be hanged so eventually the colonists agreed to be independent. So to simply answer your question, the colonists did face hostility while deciding if they should be independent or stay loyal to Britain, but the Declaration of Independence signed when the colonists were in agreement so there wasn't any hostility between them at that point.

The correct answer is easy child.
No child is undemanding - parents have to be around their baby at all times, caring for it, and tending to its every need. But this child can easily adapt to anything, which is why she doesn't really take up a lot of her parents' time, and doesn't cause problems.

According to the triangular theory of love, what type of love is defined by passion and intimacy but no commitment?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

romantic love

Explanation:

Robert Sternberg is an American psychologist who developed an original theory of love and relationship. This theory became known as the "Triangular Theory of Love."

The three components of love, according to Sternberg, are: passion, intimacy, and decision or commitment. The combination of each of these components results in a different kind of love.

In romantic love there is passion and intimacy, but without commitment. It is characterized by an intense physical and emotional attraction between the couple, but that can not survive the conflicts and stressful situations of everyday life. It is usually a short-lived love.
