The defendant argues the tree came down during Hurricane Sandy. He called insurance, but there was a delay because of the storm. He’s countersuing for lost wages.

Then, the plaintiff says her stepdaughter called the plaintiff’s husband in tears asking for a loan because she was going to be homeless. She still has not repaid the money, so the plaintiff is suing for what’s owed.

If her dad borrowed the money from the plaintiff, how is that the defendant’s fault?

First, the plaintiff says he gave the defendant a first-generation iPod to repair for him. When he went to pick it up, however, the defendant was hiding from him, and the iPod was broken and all his songs were gone. He is suing for the price of a new iPod and all the songs he lost.

She’s been trying to get her deposit back but hasn’t had any luck, so she’s suing.
