Hot Bench Season 4 Episode 28 Dissed in Front of Daughter; Pay Me for Stressing Me

In this episode of Hot Bench, a mother and daughter duo appeared in court over an incident that happened at the daughter's wedding. The mother was claiming that the defendant, the wedding planner, had reneged on an agreement they had made, leaving her feeling stressed and unsupported during the wedding planning process.

The mother stated that she had paid the defendant a deposit of $1,000 to plan her daughter's wedding but had later found out that the defendant was not a licensed wedding planner. The mother had asked for her deposit back but was only given $500 as the defendant claimed that she had already done some work.

The mother claimed that she had been dissed in front of her daughter and the other wedding vendors when the defendant failed to show up for a scheduled meeting. She said that the defendant had left her feeling humiliated and unsupported during the wedding planning process.

The defendant, on the other hand, claimed that the mother had been difficult to work with and had constantly changed her mind about the wedding plans. She also claimed that the mother had been aggressive towards her and had threatened her with legal action.

The Hot Bench judges listened to both cases and questioned both parties to try and get to the bottom of the matter. Judge Tanya Acker stated that the defendant was not a licensed wedding planner and as such, could not perform the duties of a licensed professional.

The judges also questioned the defendant's ethics and business practices, and Judge Patricia DiMango asked why she had not refunded the mother's deposit in full since the agreement had been breached.

In the end, the Hot Bench judges ruled in favor of the mother, stating that the defendant had breached their agreement and was therefore responsible for reimbursing the mother her full deposit of $1,000. The judges also awarded the mother $500 for the stress and inconvenience caused during the wedding planning process.

Overall, this episode of Hot Bench highlights the importance of hiring licensed and reputable professionals when planning significant events such as weddings. It also emphasizes the need for contracts and legal agreements when dealing with professionals who are not licensed. The Hot Bench judges demonstrated a thorough understanding of the law and a commitment to ensuring justice was served in this case.
