The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff claims he hired the defendant to film a commercial for him, but he disappeared with the money without completing the job. The plaintiff is suing to have his money returned. The defendant argues the plaintiff kept changing his mind on what he wanted the commercial to be, and the defendant eventually got fed up with it. He believes he deserves to be paid for his wasted time.

Then, the plaintiff says his neighbor improperly trimmed some of her trees, causing branches to fall onto his property and break branches off his own trees. When he spoke with her, he claims her only response was that she’s a single mother. The defendant says there was a huge snowstorm that caused her power to go out, and she was only notified about the damage four months later. She believes the damage the plaintiff is complaining about was caused by the snowstorm and not a bad trimming job.

Plus, the plaintiff says she’d purchased a border collie from the defendant she wished to breed, but two years after the transaction she still hasn’t received the dog’s papers from the defendant. She is suing for lost money she believes she is owed. The defendant has been breeding collies for 20 years and made no promises to provide the plaintiff with the paperwork necessary for breeding. She says this is because the plaintiff had stated she was just looking for a pet she would be getting neutered.

First, the plaintiff says the defendant was a bartender he employed at his restaurant who served alcohol to a minor. That minor got into a car accident and the employee was fired. However, the restaurant was fined $3,000 for providing the alcohol, and the plaintiff is suing the defendant for the cost of that fee. The defendant claims the minor was a regular who was given drinks by all the bartenders at the restaurant, and she had even cut the individual off that evening.
