- January 14, 2019
In the Hot Bench season 5 episode 89, titled "Fire Death Avoided?!; Circus Arts Payback!", Judge Tanya Acker presides over two cases that showcase the unique and sometimes dangerous situations that can arise when pursuing unusual professions.
In the first case, a tenant sues her landlord after she discovers that her apartment building has faulty electrical wiring. When the landlord fails to make the necessary repairs, the tenant takes matters into her own hands and hires an unlicensed electrician to fix the wiring. However, after the electrician's work causes a fire in the building, the tenant is sued by her neighbors for damages. The case raises questions about who is ultimately responsible for ensuring the safety of a rental property and whether hiring an unlicensed contractor can ever be justified.
The second case centers around a dispute between two former circus performers. The plaintiff claims that he was unfairly fired from his job as a tightrope walker after he was injured during a performance. He argues that his employer should have provided him with adequate safety equipment and training, and that his termination was retaliation for his injury. The defendant, a former clown and ringmaster, maintains that the plaintiff was fired for failing to follow safety protocols and endangering himself and others. As the judges weigh the conflicting testimony, they are forced to consider the risks and rewards of jobs that require both physical and artistic abilities.
Throughout both cases, Judge Acker demonstrates her sharp legal skills and compassionate demeanor. Her tough but fair approach to the law ensures that each side is given a fair hearing and that justice is served. With its engaging and thought-provoking cases, "Fire Death Avoided?!; Circus Arts Payback!" is a must-watch for fans of legal dramas and anyone interested in the unique challenges faced by those in non-traditional occupations.
