The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff was once a member of the defendant’s motorcycle club and gave him a deposit to rent the defendant’s venue for a Halloween party. Several days before the event was to happen, the defendant reportedly got fined and shut down by the police for several violations, including not having a liquor permit. The plaintiff couldn’t find another location for his event and is suing the defendant for the money he’s out. The defendant claims the plaintiff’s advertising for the party caused a gang raid of his place, so he doesn’t owe the plaintiff anything.

Then, the plaintiff claims he’s a Native American who takes it upon himself to protect the land around him, especially the land he owns. He says he’s had issues with ATVs and riders destroying the land behind his home, including his neighbor. When he confronted the defendant, she falsely claimed he did so with a gun, which caused legal fees upon his arrest. He is suing her for the price of a lawyer. The defendant claims she was simply walking through the woods with a friend when the plaintiff approached her in anger, carrying a stick or a rifle.

Plus, the plaintiff claims that after she was involved in a hit-and-run accident, she took her car to the defendant for repair. She paid up front and he took off with the money, leaving her with a damaged car. She is suing to get her money back. The defendant claims the plaintiff canceled the order for the repair work after he’d already ordered the parts, and so he doesn’t owe her anything.

First, the plaintiff hired the defendant, his friend’s sister, to work at his deli and loaned her money to purchase a car. He claims the defendant stiffed him on the payments. The defendant says she has paid off the car in full and owes the plaintiff nothing. She believes he is in cahoots with her sister to get more money out of her.

Then, the plaintiff says she was hired by the defendant to replace two motors on his boat and now he’s stiffing her on the payment. On top of that, he reportedly tried to sneak his boat out of the marina after letting it sit there for two months. The plaintiff is suing him for mechanical work and the price of storage. The defendant claims the plaintiff never even did the work he hired her to do on his boat, and he can prove it.

Plus, the plaintiff says she lived in an illegal basement apartment at the defendant’s house, and it was like a house of horrors. From peeping Toms and no power to getting charged for extra things and entering without notice, it was a terrible experience. She is suing the defendant for double her security deposit. The defendant claims the plaintiff had a friend move in with her, and when he approached her about it, she became defensive. He doesn’t believe he owes the plaintiff any money.

First, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to move him from downtown New York city to uptown, and the defendant damaged his flat-screen TV in the process. He claims the defendant is not owning up to her mistakes and he is suing for the price of a new TV. The defendant believes the TV was already damaged when she had her employees move it. She says the plaintiff had already bubble wrapped the TV for her and her employees.

Then, the plaintiff says she believed she was moving into a completed basement apartment and gave the defendants money for renovations. When they asked for even more to complete the job, she lost faith in the project and wants her initial investment back. The defendant claims everything in the project was moving along fine and they were doing all the required work. It was the plaintiff who flipped and backed out of the deal, and so he owes her nothing.

Plus, the plaintiff claims the defendant crashed into her car after a hurricane, totaling the vehicle. She is suing for price of the car and travel costs. The defendant claims a man pulled a gun on her over a dispute at a gas station. She crashed as she was taking off and does not believe she is responsible because she was protecting herself.

First, the plaintiff claims the defendants never watch their children while they’re outside, and their son wedged his bike between her car and the house, damaging her vehicle. She is suing for the amount needed to repair her car. The defendants say they heard the plaintiff yelling at their kids one day, even using bad language at them. The damage they say caused the commotion isn’t nearly as bad as the amount the plaintiff is suing them for.

Then, the plaintiff says he had a deal with the plaintiff where he would mow the defendant’s lawn and in turn he could park his boat at the defendant’s dock. He claims that he missed one time of mowing the lawn and later found his boat under a bridge, where it sustained damage. He is suing the defendant for the repairs. The defendant argues the plaintiff rarely mowed his grass for him, but still used his dock to park his boat. When he approached the plaintiff about it, he was told to bugger off.

Plus, the plaintiff owns one of the best amateur baseball leagues in the country and says the defendant was a part of it for a while. He claims the defendant still owes him fees for registration, uniforms, and gas for travel. He is suing to get this money back. The defendant argues that he agreed to join the league as a part-time player, a position that did not require him to pay full dues. He also claims he would drive over an hour to attend games and wouldn’t even be put in to play.

First, the plaintiff was at the dog park with his dog when the defendant approached him with her dog. The defendant’s dog reportedly grabbed the plaintiff’s dog in its mouth. After the fact, the defendant refused to pay the vet bills for the plaintiff’s dog, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues that both she and the plaintiff are responsible pet owners, and it was impossible to tell which of their well-behaved dogs started the fight. She does not think she owes the plaintiff anything.

Then, the plaintiff rented a two-bedroom home from the defendant and lived there for three years with her grandkids. She left the unit in perfect condition when she moved out but still can’t get her deposit back, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was a nightmare tenant who brought in bed bugs, let the kids hang from the ceiling fan, broke her lease with one week’s notice, and kept the keys to the unit afterward. He is countersuing for additional damages.

Plus, the plaintiff claims that while stopped at a red light, he was rear-ended by the defendant, causing him to rear-end the car in front of him. He claims the defendant lied to the cops about the event, saying she was also rear-ended in the event. The defendant argues that this was true and that the plaintiff had made a deal with her insurance company for a rental car. If they didn’t cash out, it’s not her problem.
