Description: First, the plaintiff hired the defendant to do work on his mini race car. He says the defendant loved the car so much that he decided to sell it. The defendant raced it and blew the engine, but now the defendant won’t pay him the rest of the balance. He’s suing for what he’s owed. The defendant argues the weight distribution on the car was all wrong and the car didn’t handle properly. He’s countersuing for parts, repairs, and defamation. Then, the plaintiff brings her neighbor to court. She claims her neighbor’s two dogs bit through the fence separating their properties, causing a huge hole. The plaintiff says the defendant offered to pay for the damages, but he hasn’t yet, so she’s suing for the cost of repairs and pain and suffering. The defendant argues the plaintiff acts like she’s queen of the neighborhood. He thinks the plaintiff is blaming his dogs even though she doesn’t have any proof. He’s countersuing for defamation and aggravation. Plus, the plaintiff rented a room to the defendant. Everything was fine until the defendant’s rent check bounced, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff seemed sketchy and showed up to his place of work and started a commotion, so he moved out. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.
