'Trash Day Trouble' & 'Consign on the Dotted Line' & 'Broker Not Trying to Go Broke'

First, the plaintiff brings his neighbor to court. He claims the defendant put a metal bed frame and box spring against a tree on the sidewalk for garbage collectors to pick up. He says wind knocked the frame into his car, causing damage. He’s suing for the cost of damage. The defendant argues he left the bed flat on the ground, not against a tree. He doesn’t think he owes anything. Then, the plaintiff gave the defendant nearly 90 items to sell at his consignment shop. He claims the defendant sold all of it but never called him about how much money he would get. The plaintiff is suing for what he thinks he’s owed. The defendant argues it took several months for him to sell everything. He says he told the plaintiff how much his proceeds would be, so he doesn’t owe. Plus, the plaintiff found the defendant an apartment that the defendant ended up renting. She claims she’s still owed a finder’s fee, so she’s suing for what she’s owed. The defendant argues the plaintiff told her not to worry about the broker’s fee, so she doesn’t think she needs to pay her anything. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode.
