On Hot Bench season 1 episode 150, titled "Lover's Surprise Visit Disaster!", Judge Tanya Acker, Judge Patricia DiMango, and Judge Michael Corriero preside over three cases that involve disputes between acquaintances and former lovers.
In the first case, a man is suing his former girlfriend for the cost of a car that he claims she destroyed during an argument. The plaintiff says that he had purchased the vehicle for his girlfriend and that she got angry with him during an argument and intentionally drove it into a tree. The defendant, on the other hand, says that the accident was an unforeseeable consequence of the argument and that the plaintiff had promised to maintain the car regardless of their relationship status.
Next, two acquaintances are disputing the cost of a hotel room that they shared. The plaintiff claims that the defendant promised to split the cost of the room with him but never paid him back. The defendant argues that the plaintiff is lying and that she never agreed to split the cost. Additionally, the defendant claims that the plaintiff made inappropriate advances towards her during their stay at the hotel.
Finally, a woman is suing her ex-boyfriend for the cost of a laptop that she claims he stole from her. The plaintiff says that the defendant came over to her house unannounced and took her laptop without her permission. The defendant denies stealing the laptop and says that he only borrowed it to work on a project.
Throughout the episode, the judges ask probing questions and press the parties to provide evidence to support their claims. They also offer advice and guidance on how to avoid similar disputes in the future. At the end of each case, the judges render a verdict and explain their reasoning behind the decision.
