The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff says she built a shed on her property decades ago, but the defendant, her longtime neighbor, is infringing on her land. She claims he even put up cinderblocks that diverted water into her shed, so she’s suing him for the cost of repairs. The defendant says he’s surprised the plaintiff is suing him, especially since the plaintiff never put rain gutters on her shed. He denies owing anything.

Then, the plaintiff claims the defendant, her husband, stole money from her bank accounts. She went to the police, who told her the defendant had a right to her money. He also owes six years of rent, so she’s suing for all she’s owed. The defendant says the plaintiff claimed he was stalking her, and he can’t wait to get divorced. He’s countersuing for harassment and defamation of character.

Plus, the plaintiff claims the defendant is a business colleague and agreed to sublet her apartment. His deposit check bounced, and now he’s backing out of the deal. She’s suing him for what he owes. The defendant says he intended to rent the apartment, but then he had a tax issue and couldn’t move. He claims he gave the plaintiff plenty of notice.

First, the plaintiff says he has an ad business for restaurant menus. He claims the defendant, a laundromat owner, backed out of a deal they made, so he’s suing. The defendant says he agreed to an ad as long as he was the only dry cleaner advertising, but his main competitor was on the same ad page. He denies owing anything.

Then, the plaintiff claims she rented an apartment from the defendant, but the woman won’t return most of her security deposit. She denies damaging anything, so she’s suing for the balance back.

Plus, the plaintiff claims he bought a used car door from the defendant’s junkyard, but it didn’t fit his vehicle in the end. He claims the defendant won’t give him his money back, so he’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff’s truck was damaged and that’s why the door didn’t fit.

First, the plaintiff purchased a diamond engagement ring from the defendants and asked them to resize it to fit his fiancée’s finger. He claims the defendant compromised the ring because the diamonds are falling out and he’s replacing them with diamonds of lesser value. He’s suing for the cost of the ring. The defendants argue the plaintiff’s fiancée wore the ring for months and the diamond fell out due to abuse. They say they fixed the jewelry and even sent it back to the manufacturer for a new ring.

Then, the plaintiffs hired the defendant, a distant relative, to cater their wedding. They claim the food was terrible, everyone complained, and the quality was not what he promised. They’re suing for a portion of what they paid. The defendant argues there was a tornado warning on the day of the wedding, which impacted the food prep. He doesn’t think he owes them anything.

Plus, the plaintiff rented an apartment from the defendant, but she only ended up living there for two months. She says the defendant was unprofessional and won’t return her security deposit, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff left the apartment in complete disarray, so if anyone is owed money, it’s him. He’s countersuing for cleaning costs.

He’s suing for pain and suffering, the cost of cremation, and shots. The defendant argues she drove slowly until the dogs were safely on the side of the road, but one ended up running under her car.

Then, the plaintiff organizes biannual trips with her church. The day they were supposed to leave, the bus operator said one driver couldn’t do it, but another would show up. The second driver never showed up, either. She ended up having to cancel the trip. She’s suing for the profit of theater tickets, cost of the tickets, and pain and suffering. The defendant argues the plaintiff was vague about her trip details, and it’s not his fault.

First, the plaintiff and defendant are both exotic dancers at the same club. She claims the defendant took the plaintiff’s car without her permission, crashed it, and fled. The plaintiff says the defendant won’t pay for the damages, so she’s suing. The defendant argues she and the plaintiff were both drunk, so she shouldn’t completely be at fault because the plaintiff handed her the keys.

Then, the plaintiffs, a married couple, live next to the defendant. They say the defendant failed to trim his trees, which caused a limb to fall into their car.

He says he gave the plaintiffs his insurance information, but now the plaintiffs are suing for more than what the car is even worth.
