The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to move him from downtown New York city to uptown, and the defendant damaged his flat-screen TV in the process. He claims the defendant is not owning up to her mistakes and he is suing for the price of a new TV. The defendant believes the TV was already damaged when she had her employees move it. She says the plaintiff had already bubble wrapped the TV for her and her employees.

Then, the plaintiff says she believed she was moving into a completed basement apartment and gave the defendants money for renovations. When they asked for even more to complete the job, she lost faith in the project and wants her initial investment back. The defendant claims everything in the project was moving along fine and they were doing all the required work. It was the plaintiff who flipped and backed out of the deal, and so he owes her nothing.

Plus, the plaintiff claims the defendant crashed into her car after a hurricane, totaling the vehicle. She is suing for price of the car and travel costs. The defendant claims a man pulled a gun on her over a dispute at a gas station. She crashed as she was taking off and does not believe she is responsible because she was protecting herself.

First, the plaintiff claims the defendants never watch their children while they’re outside, and their son wedged his bike between her car and the house, damaging her vehicle. She is suing for the amount needed to repair her car. The defendants say they heard the plaintiff yelling at their kids one day, even using bad language at them. The damage they say caused the commotion isn’t nearly as bad as the amount the plaintiff is suing them for.

Then, the plaintiff says he had a deal with the plaintiff where he would mow the defendant’s lawn and in turn he could park his boat at the defendant’s dock. He claims that he missed one time of mowing the lawn and later found his boat under a bridge, where it sustained damage. He is suing the defendant for the repairs. The defendant argues the plaintiff rarely mowed his grass for him, but still used his dock to park his boat. When he approached the plaintiff about it, he was told to bugger off.

Plus, the plaintiff owns one of the best amateur baseball leagues in the country and says the defendant was a part of it for a while. He claims the defendant still owes him fees for registration, uniforms, and gas for travel. He is suing to get this money back. The defendant argues that he agreed to join the league as a part-time player, a position that did not require him to pay full dues. He also claims he would drive over an hour to attend games and wouldn’t even be put in to play.

First, the plaintiff was at the dog park with his dog when the defendant approached him with her dog. The defendant’s dog reportedly grabbed the plaintiff’s dog in its mouth. After the fact, the defendant refused to pay the vet bills for the plaintiff’s dog, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues that both she and the plaintiff are responsible pet owners, and it was impossible to tell which of their well-behaved dogs started the fight. She does not think she owes the plaintiff anything.

Then, the plaintiff rented a two-bedroom home from the defendant and lived there for three years with her grandkids. She left the unit in perfect condition when she moved out but still can’t get her deposit back, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was a nightmare tenant who brought in bed bugs, let the kids hang from the ceiling fan, broke her lease with one week’s notice, and kept the keys to the unit afterward. He is countersuing for additional damages.

Plus, the plaintiff claims that while stopped at a red light, he was rear-ended by the defendant, causing him to rear-end the car in front of him. He claims the defendant lied to the cops about the event, saying she was also rear-ended in the event. The defendant argues that this was true and that the plaintiff had made a deal with her insurance company for a rental car. If they didn’t cash out, it’s not her problem.

First, the plaintiff and defendant used to be good friends, and they moved in together. The plaintiff says the defendant’s dog bit him, so he moved out. He claims the defendant locked him out and won’t let him pick up his belongings, so he’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was a bad roommate who broke everything. He’s countersuing for the cost of a washer and dryer and unpaid rent.

Then, the plaintiff brought his car to the defendant’s car repair shop for a new motor. When he picked it up, the air conditioning didn’t work and the engine smoked when he started driving. The car broke down, so he’s suing for the cost of repairs and stress and aggravation. The defendant argues the plaintiff provided him with the wrong motor for his car. He did the work correctly and the plaintiff was happy when he picked it up.

Plus, the plaintiff went to Mexico on vacation and when she got back, her apartment had been destroyed by Hurricane Sandy. She asked the defendant, her landlord, for her security deposit back when she moved out, but he refused. She’s suing for her deposit. The defendant argues the plaintiff let her son move in after the son got out of jail even though the defendant never approved it. He clams the son treated the apartment like a frat house.

First, the plaintiff let the defendant, his neighbor, borrow two dune buggies from him. He says the defendant got a DUI and the cops impounded one of the vehicles. Now, the plaintiff has to pay tons in impound fees, so he’s suing. The defendant argues he asked the plaintiff if the cars were legal, but it turns out they didn’t have VINs or license plates. He thinks he paid his share because he had to spend several days in jail.

Then, the plaintiff brings her landlord to court. She says her apartment was infested with mice and the defendant constantly harassed her. She ended up getting an order of protection against him, and then the defendant evicted her. She’s suing for three times the security deposit. The defendant argues he terminated her lease because someone broke the door. He says the plaintiff left her furniture behind, so he has the right to keep it.

Plus, the plaintiff purchased a watch phone from the defendant. He says the watch phone ended up not working with his service provider, so he tried to return it. The defendant refused to take it back, so the plaintiff is suing for a refund and the cost of service. The defendant argues his store policy does not allow returns after seven days and it had been much longer than that for the plaintiff.
