What is a summary of Merchant of Venice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bassanio wants to court the wealthy Portia but needs money. He gets his friend Antonio to borrow the money for him from the Jewish moneylender Shylock. Shylock hates Antonio because he is an Anti-Semite and adds a clause in the contract that says that if Antonio doesn't pay on time, Shylock can take a pound of flesh from anywhere on Antonio's body. Antonio agrees to this, thinking it is a joke. Bassanio goes to Portia's house and passes the test Portia's father has set for all suitors, and marries her. But then news comes that Antonio has had a business crisis and cannot pay Shylock. Shylock takes Antonio to court. Portia disguises herself as a lawyer and advises the Duke, who is the judge, that Shylock has a good case, just to see if he will go through with it and kill Antonio. When it is apparent that Shylock really means it, Portia raises the point that the contract does not allow Shylock to shed blood, and through a number of other pieces of legal trickery, deprives Shylock of all his money and forces him to change religion. For this service, she demands that Bassanio give her for her fee his wedding ring, which he does, only to get a talking-to from his wife when he gets home.

Do you need a civil court judgment to file a lien on property?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, a civil judgement automatically becomes a lien on a defendant's real property if the court in which it was granted also enters it into the state's judgment docket.

What are the benefits of using interrogatories instead of depositions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

About the only benefits are that interrogatories are less expensive and time consuming than depositions. Interrogatories can be typed up and sent to the person for written responses to each question. A deposition requires the physical presence of the parties and the witness and is recorded by a certified shorthand reporter or videotaped. These aspects of a deposition make it a more expensive way of conducting discovery than using interrogatories. Never the less, depositions are still a much more effective means of learning the facts of the other side's case.
