Now I feel like a local - our first lawsuit ;)

It seems to me that an easy way to stop people from quitting and suing would be for all the companies to create a sort of black list and name all the people (with DNI numbers) who did this sort of thing. So then in the future, when a business is considering hiring someone, they can check and see if this person has already pulled this stunt. If they have, well, so much for them being able to find another job in the future.

I'm probably thinking crazy, but it could work.

Even if there was such a database, the odds are probably not in favor of the employer.

To paraphrase P.T Barnum:

There's a scammer born every minute.

There was a database like this in the UK but it was ruled illegal by the courts. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...cklist-saw-thousands-denied-jobs-1691544.html

So you're saying that 46 years after the re-establishment of British control of the Falklands, the southern 1/3->1/2 of Argentina still was not part of Argentina?

Claro!

You got it in one.

Before Julio Argentino Roca's "Conquista del Desierto" in 1879, mainland Argentina looked like this:

In 1881 like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Chile.1862.djvu&page=1

There were a few Argentino enclaves in Patagonia, but Argentina did not control the area.

Be tough! Explain to your ex employee that if he or she wants to go ahead with this then that's fine, but even if they win they won't get paid for 5-6 years. Tell them that you won't even be here by then.

this is just my opinion based on living here (i just dont want to go into too many details on a public board) and this is not based on any extensive legal knowledge--so take it for what it is worth:
the best defense in my humble opinion is to be calm, calm, calm and try to drag it out...law suits in this country last years and years...if he thinks you are confident and prepared to run the marathon that could take 6 years or so, then he will be more amenable...just take this advice for what it is worth and i have great sympathy for your situation...i wish you the best
