The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff hired the defendant’s company to provide a photographer, videographer, and DJ for her wedding but claims they didn’t do their jobs right on the big day. She says the photographer didn’t know how to use a camera, the DJ was dressed inappropriately, and the videographer only had one arm. She is suing for the cost of services. The defendant says the plaintiff purchased the cheapest package possible, which doesn’t include any editing, and the attendants of the event had a great time with the DJ. He even offered to edit the photos just to make the plaintiff happy but got turned down. He owes nothing.

Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, a friend of her boyfriend, agreed to fix up her car for a good price because the fuel pump was broken. When she went to pick it up, however, she discovered that the defendant had been arrested and her car was towed, but no one knows where it is now. She is suing the defendant for $4,500 because he’s the one responsible for her car going missing. The defendant claims the plaintiff never paid him for the work and left the car sitting on his property for a month. He deemed it to be abandoned, called a tow truck, and had the vehicle taken away. He denies owing anything.

Plus, the plaintiff says she rented an apartment from the defendant, never moved in a single piece of furniture, and now cannot seem to get her deposit or first month’s rent back.

The defendant claims the plaintiff gave her money for the apartment, then changed her mind the very next day and said she no longer wished to rent the apartment. The defendant was already painting the unit and feels she does not need to return the money while she tries to find a new tenant.
