The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff has known the defendant for 40 years and says he was just trying to help a friend out. He claims the defendant won’t return an expensive textbook he borrowed or pay the plaintiff back for gas or tobacco either. He is suing the defendant for the money he is owed. The defendant claims he doesn’t have the textbook and doesn’t owe the plaintiff money. He is countersuing because he believes he is owed money for printer repairs and auto supplies.

Then, the plaintiff claims the defendant was his ex-roommate, who locked the plaintiff out of their apartment because he has socioeconomic issues. The plaintiff paid the landlord rent for two months he didn’t get to live out, and says the defendant owes him. He is suing for the two months’ rent he paid. The defendant claims the plaintiff is a very difficult person to live with, and that he actually moved out. The defendant says the plaintiff then overpaid for rent and should be going after the landlord.

Plus, the plaintiff claims the defendant scratched up her car with a sharp rock. She’s not sure why the defendant would do that, but that there’s even an eyewitness who saw the event. She is suing for repairs to the car. The defendant claims the plaintiff is accusing her son of causing damages, but that it was another child in the neighborhood.

First, the plaintiff says that when his brother borrowed his car, damage appeared that matched the shape and size of the plaintiff’s trailer hitch. When the cops arrived, the defendant refused to back his car up to see if the damage matched. The plaintiff is suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant claims there were plenty of trucks with trailers around that could have caused the damage, and he was not the one to hit the plaintiff’s car.

Plus, the plaintiff runs a company that matches teachers with educators, and the defendant contracted with him at one point. He claims the defendant got hired but never paid the service fee for her placement.

She says her job was one she got on her own, which is why she doesn’t owe the plaintiff any money.

First, the plaintiff says her father and stepmother stole her car and won’t give it back. In fact, she says they’re even trying to sell it. She says she saved up money for a car, which she eventually bought at a yard sale. The defendants claim they purchased the car for the plaintiff, so they didn’t steal anything. They also say she started dating a much older man as a teenager and moved out because they disagreed with this choice.

Then, the plaintiff says he rented the defendant’s theater location for a festival he was holding, and she agreed to send an email blast out to her customer base of 5,000 people to help him with ticket sales. He argues the low attendance numbers are due to the defendant failing to do her job and is suing her. The defendant claims the plaintiff never provided her with the correct material for the email blast, despite her asking for it, so she is not at fault for anything. She is countersuing for unpaid rental fees and pain and suffering.

Plus, the plaintiff claims her therapy dog was viciously attacked by the defendant’s bull mastiff, who had escaped from the defendant’s yard. The plaintiff says the attack lasted 20 minutes and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She is suing the defendant for the $7,000 vet bills and pain and suffering. The defendants say they had just adopted the dog four days earlier and did not know it had aggressive tendencies. They claim they believed the encounter was two minutes and were happy to pay the vet bill they believed was only $700.

First, the plaintiff is a former law enforcement officer who has a seven-unit rooming house. The defendant rented from him for a while, smoked marijuana, and shortchanged the defendant on rent. The plaintiff is suing him for unpaid rent plus interest. The defendant argues the renting house was terrible to live in, as it had a bad smell, was infested with flies, and was covered in stains. When he complained to the plaintiff, nothing was done about the issues. The defendant also claims the plaintiff put him in a headlock and has drinking and anger problems.

Then, the plaintiff was set to be a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding on a cruise ship.

The plaintiff tried to get a refund on the deposit from the company, who didn’t have any record of one being booked. She is suing her cousin for financial hardship. The defendant argues she wanted the plaintiff on the cruise with her, and even paid for part of the plaintiff’s share of the cruise. She has no idea why she is being sued by the plaintiff for that money.

Plus, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to replace the cylinder on his ’87 chevy, and nine months later the wheel came off. The defendant had tightened the lug nuts with his hands, rather than a monkey wrench. The plaintiff is suing for the cost of the tow and repairs. The defendant claims he is not responsible, given the damage occurred eight months after he worked on the car. He also claims the plaintiff’s grandson told him the truck was being overloaded with sand, causing the issues with the tires.
