I watched today's show, S4/Ep51, Drive by DUI, on February 6, 2019. I believe Judge Mablean, ruled this case wrong!
The defendant hit the plaintiff's vehicle, which resulted in it being totaled. The plaintiff vehicle is said to have a Bluebook value of $4,800, and repairs were over $6,000.
The plaintiff was awarded the $6,000, to fix the car!
WHAT? WHAT! and WHAT was that , that I heard ? I was yelling at Judge Mablean thru the TV . She made me angry , because she is so wrong on this, judgement .
She may not have liked the defendant, because I don't think the defendant really cared. That is no reason to make a judgment like that, because that is NOT the law!
The plaintiff should be made whole, they should not get a bonanza.
Because the car was totaled and the Blue Book value is less than the repairs, that is what the plaintiff should get. This will make her hole! Amen.
I do not know why Judge Mablean ruled the way that she did, I'm so angry, because of the power that she has and yet she is wrong!
Example for the Judge ... Let's say.... I have a pair of pants that were ruined by you. I take you to court because you didn't want to pay me the $200 that my seamstress said that it would take to repair the pants. Yet, you said that you could buy these pants from the boutique for $50! How much do you think I should be awarded?! Don't forget now, you have proof that the exact same pants can be purchased for $50 (blue book value, 😉), and I have a seamstress who says that it will take $200 to repair the pants. What should I be rewarded?
