'That's No Way to Treat Your Sister' & 'Taking Advantage of a Mom' & 'Banging Up a Boater'
First, the plaintiff is taking her younger sister to court. The plaintiff says she loaned her money to help pay for an apartment but has not been paid back, so she’s suing. The defendant says she doesn’t owe her sister anything because the money was a gift and not a loan.
Then, the plaintiff says she’s a single mom of six kids under 12, and she bought a used car from the defendant, but he scammed her. She claims the vehicle had a faulty transmission, so she’s suing for a refund. The defendant says the car was in good shape, and he has no intention of giving her a refund.
Plus, the plaintiff says she loaned the defendant her boat, but he failed to secure it to his dock and it disappeared. She says he promised he would take good care of it but obviously didn’t, so she’s suing for its value. The defendant says the plaintiff stored her boat at his dock and it got stolen. He says she’s better off calling police to report the theft, because he didn’t take it.

'Packaging a Problem' & 'Wrecking the Joint, But Bad'
First, the plaintiff sold porcelain sinks and hired the defendant to ship them. The plaintiff said both sinks arrived broken and the defendant refuses to repay, so he’s suing for the cost of the sinks. The defendant argues the plaintiff’s son refused to buy insurance when he was shipping, so he does not think he owes anything.
Then, the plaintiff says she hired the defendants to repair the ceilings in her house, but it took 35 days and they did a terrible job. She’s suing for lost rent and a refund. The defendants say they’ve been friends with the plaintiff for years and they regret mixing business with pleasure. They deny owing anything.

Not horsing around' & 'Premature Eviction' & 'Shirting Disaster'
First, the plaintiff bought a horse from the defendant. The defendant advertised the horse as 8 years old, but the plaintiff learned the horse was actually 22 years old and not in good health. She fears she might have to euthanize the horse, so she’s suing for the value of a horse plus expenses. The defendant explains she rescued the horse and nursed him back to health. She argues she told the plaintiff about his health history.
Then, the plaintiff says she and her boyfriend rented a two-bedroom apartment from the defendant, which turned out to be a huge mistake. She alleges that as soon as she complained about lead in the apartment, the defendant served them with eviction papers. She’s suing for $10,100 in damages. The defendant says she got several noise complaints about the plaintiff and her unruly kids, so she told them to leave. She claims the plaintiff contacted an attorney after she left about lead. She’s countersuing for what she’s owed.
Plus, the plaintiff says she hired the defendant to make custom T-shirts for her daughter’s first birthday, but he botched the job. She’s suing for a full refund. The defendant says he did a great job on the shirts and is shocked by the lawsuit because the plaintiff never complained.

'Moaning a Loan' & 'Failure to Disclose' & 'Pay Up or Else'
First, the plaintiff used to be close friends with the defendant. She says she loaned the defendant money after he lost most of his savings at the casino. She has not been paid back, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the money was a gift and not a loan because the plaintiff had recently won a small lottery.
Then, the plaintiffs, a husband and wife, say they went into contract with the defendant for a three-unit building. They claim she deliberately failed to disclose that a five-story building was going up next door. They’re suing for the inspection fees and punitive damages. The defendant claims she knew nothing about the building until the plaintiffs brought it up.
Plus, the plaintiff says he repaired the air conditioner at the defendant’s rental unit, but now she’s blowing off his calls and refusing to pay him. He’s suing for what he’s owed. The defendant says she owes nothing since her tenants hired him, not her. She claims he needs to go after them

First, the plaintiff says it was her lifelong dream to own a horse, but claims that the animal she purchased from the defendants is ill and cannot stand up properly. She’s suing for her money back. The defendants refuse. They claim the plaintiff rode the horse for three days before purchasing him, and they say she has buyer’s remorse.
Then, the plaintiff hired the defendant to create a replica of her earring. When she went to pick it up, she claims the defendant melted down her earring, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff gave him the okay to melt down the earring and create the replica pair. The defendant is countersuing for money owed.
Plus, the plaintiff claims his former landlord is only returning half of his security deposit for no reason, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff broke the lease, and he owes him nothing.
