The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff says the defendant cabled two trees together that were on her property, which eventually caused one of the trees to split. Now, she’s being forced to cut the tree down because her neighbor complained to the city about it. She believes the defendant should pay for it and is suing for the cost of cutting down the tree. The defendant says he did the job he was hired to do, and the damage to the plaintiff’s tree was caused by Hurricane Sandy, not his cable work.

Then, the plaintiff claims he gave the defendant money to purchase a car, and suddenly the man told him he was robbed and all the money was stolen. The plaintiff didn’t believe the story and is suing to get his money back. The defendant says he was robbed at gunpoint right after withdrawing the cash from the bank, and the police investigation is ongoing. Since he was doing the plaintiff a favor, he says he owes him nothing.

Plus, the plaintiff needed some handyman work done on her home, which she hired the defendant to do. She says he gave her the runaround for weeks, and the work he did was terrible. Since she’s a hardworking single mother, she’s suing to get her money back. The defendant says he was down with the flu, so he couldn’t complete the tasks in the original timeframe. When he did show up to complete the work, the plaintiff told him not to bother. Since he’d already purchased the materials for the tasks, he doesn’t believe he owes her anything.
