Today’s smile comes from New York City in 2010, where a very well-stocked chocolate shop opened with a highly organized shelving system to classify all the different types on offer, named “The Chocolate Library”.

(By the way, a technical hitch has meant that today’s Monday smile is a Tuesday smile 😊).

Anyway, back to the chocolate.

“Since 2006, state Business Corporation Law, Not-for-Profit Corporation Law, Partnership Law and Limited Liability Company Law require the education commissioner’s consent if the words library, school, academy, institute and kindergarten, among others, are used in a certificate of incorporation or company name” explained The New York Times.

And the education commissioner refused on the grounds that the name was misleading. Who knows.

This little gem of a legal blip was brought to my attention by Slaw, Canada’s online legal magazine, in an exellent post by Simon Fodden.
