Hot Bench Season 4 Episode 202 Ill-Timed Bathroom Visit Causes Flood?!; Wrongful Lemon Possession?!

Ill-Timed Bathroom Visit Causes Flood?!; Wrongful Lemon Possession?! is the second episode of the fourth season of Hot Bench. The show features a unique panel of three judges, who preside over small claims court cases, deliberating their verdicts and allowing the audience to see the conflict in a different light.

The first case presented for deliberation in this episode centers around damage caused by an ill-timed bathroom visit. A tenant of a rented property left the water on in the bathroom, leading to a major flood. The landlord filed a lawsuit against the tenant, claiming that the damage was significant enough to warrant a punitive payment.

The tenant argued that the landlord did not provide proper instructions on the functionality of the bathroom plumbing, and therefore is not responsible for the flood. With conflicting accounts from both parties and a lack of written documentation, the judges had to rely on witness testimony and personal judgement to determine culpability.

The second case presented involves a wrongful lemon possession accusation. A woman claims that a car dealer sold her a car that was advertised as "like new," but was actually a defective vehicle. The car broke down multiple times, causing significant financial loss and inconvenience.

The car dealer argues that the woman drove the vehicle beyond recommended mileage and incurred the damage herself. With no clear breach of contract or warranty clauses for the car purchase, the judges had to determine whether the dealer sold a faulty vehicle or if the woman neglected to properly care for it.

As with every episode of Hot Bench, the panel of judges provides personal insight and debate, allowing the audience to see the legal process in a unique and engaging way. The show combines judicial analysis with entertainment value, providing a fresh approach to small claims court cases and legal justice.
