I am milling through all avenues and would like to hear what is my legal footing is.
In short:
In April 2015, I was engaged to work as a part time IT Consultant and Designer to a NFP company I once worked for full time. A Senior Manager, who is my house-mate, approached me and told me that there is potentially a job for me and urgent work. I contacted the relevant Senior Manager and he informed me on the scope of works, their expectations of me and the nature of the project. I started the minute I hung up the phone. The work was all done in my home office, except for workshops I held on site.
Having worked there before, I recognised that they didn't have the maturity to write a contract, but are always good for it. Also, a fixed price engagement would have been tough, since the scope was not understood, which is why they asked for my help to begin with. I also respected the Senior Manager's assurance that it's paid work and assumed that a verbal contract took place.
The role was initially part time for 10 weeks, but ended up going over 24 weeks and my duties also extended from IT Consulting and Design, to Project Management and Product Ownership. This was due to the person responsible being on leave for the majority of the project. The business recognised the change of my role and continued to accept my services.
As the project matured, I had many verbal discussions about being a Consultant to the business and being compensated for effort and IP, so I chose to not pursue a contract in writing and focus on delivery, especially given that the person who would accept my contract was not in the country very often and took long service leave.
When it was time to invoice, I set up a meeting with the Executive Officer and explained the nature and depth of the work and how in favour of past relations, lacking a formal agreement and NFP, I'd be interested in offered a heavily discounted price of $15,000 (roughly 70% off bottom dollar market rates for equivalent work). He accepted the offer verbally, but couldn't guarantee payment as it needed to pass approval from the President. I submitted the invoice and everyone was happy.
A few days following the invoice, I was notified from the Executive Offer that he thought my work was entirely voluntary and that they have sought legal advice informing them that they have no obligation to pay my invoice, as there was no written contract. However, they did inform me that they have to pay me something, as their whole so

I’ve put time, effort, and money into this house for 4 years. I just need some good vibes that I’ll be able to find a safe home for me and my dog. Thank you all!
Im in construction and don't have any legal knowledge. If you have any cases I could cite to my boss even better. (Don't worry I won't take this as legal advice, just presenting)

While building a house, the main contractor brings in an electrical company to do the wiring, and sends them an email containing these instructions:
From: Contractor To: Electrical company Date 4th Oct
“It was good to see you this morning. I am glad you are available to do this electrical work for us. Electricians are a nightmare to get hold of these days. The plans I gave you are very detailed, so we won’t need a contract just do the work from the plans and we’ll pay a day rate of £175 up to a max of £20,000. I confirm our agreed start date on 20th Oct. "
Electrical company Start work on 20th Oct, and on 30th Oct and submit their first invoice for (25 man days @ £175 = £4375, plus £1500 for materials). Total invoice = £5875.
Contractor finds faulty/dangerous electrical work. Contractor doesn't pay electrical company and threatens electrical company for legal action for breach of contract. They want to claim £3000, as the cost to fix electrical work.
Electrical company argue there is no contract so there cant be a breach of contract. Electrical company demand payment for their work, under quantum meruit claim.
Is there any contractual agreement between them (maybe saying there was a letter of intent, idk)? And therefore, can contractor claim for breach of contract?
Thank you so much for any help
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Pilot on me!!

London, United Kingdom; Calgary, Canada: August 13, 2021 - Canadian Overseas Petroleum Limited ("COPL" or the "Company") (XOP: CSE) & (COPL: LSE), an international oil and gas exploration, production and development company with production and development operations focused in Converse and Natrona Counties, Wyoming, USA, announces that its affiliate Southwestern Production Corp. ("Southwestern"), operator of the Barron Flats Shannon Miscible Flood Unit (the "Barron Flats Unit"), has filed a law suit in the State Court of Wyoming, Converse County, against the following named defendants: Cuda Energy LLC ("Cuda"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cuda Oil and Gas Inc. (CUDA:TSXV), Bridging Finance, Inc. ("Bridging"), and Tallinn Capital Energy L.P. ("Tallinn"), to seek a Judicial Foreclosure on Cuda's non operated working interest in the Barron Flats Unit.
On July 8, 2021 Southwestern filed a Statutory Lien in the State of Wyoming, Converse County against Cuda's interest in the Barron Flats Unit in the amount of US$1,929,746.48. This amount represents the cumulative operating arrears of Cuda for the month ending May 31, 2021 as reflected on Cuda's June 30, 2021 Joint Interest Billings.
On July 26, 2021 Southwestern filed a Claim (the "Claim") in the Eighth Judicial District Court, State of Wyoming as Plaintiff against Cuda, Bridging, and Tallinn as defendants. Southwestern's Claim seeks the following heads of relief: a judicial foreclosure order against the defendants of the Southwestern Liens on Cuda's interest in the Unit; an award of damages for breach of contract by Cuda; a quantum meruit or unjust enrichment judgment against Cuda; damages for a breach of promissory estoppel against Cuda; and a declaratory judgment as to the lien priority against Bridging and Tallinn to affirm Southwestern's first lien priority on Cuda's security against the Barron Flats Unit. Cuda received a copy of the Court Stamped Claim by email on July 27, 2021 and subsequently accepted service of the Claim on August 12, 2021.
Cuda's current cumulative operating arrears owed to Southwestern for the month ending June 30, 2021 amounts to US$2,495,172.68 as reflected on Cuda's July 2021 Joint Interest Billings. It is noted that the Claim against Cuda will be subsequently amended to reflect Cuda's ongoing cumulative arrears, and any further resulting damages.

Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
