Hot Bench Season 7 Episode 156 Quick Cash Collision!; Ex-Wife's Soul-Cleansing Debt?!
- June 22, 2021
Hot Bench season 7 episode 156, titled "Quick Cash Collision!; Ex-Wife's Soul-Cleansing Debt?!", features Judge Tanya Acker, Judge Michael Corriero, and Judge Patricia DiMango presiding over two cases.
In the first case, a woman claims that she lent her friend $1,000 to pay for car repairs, but never received repayment. The defendant argues that it was a gift, not a loan, and that the plaintiff has a history of giving her money. The judges must determine the true nature of the transaction and whether or not the defendant is responsible for paying back the money.
In the second case, a man claims that his ex-wife owes him $5,000 for a jointly owned credit card debt that she promised to pay off. The ex-wife, who filed for bankruptcy and had the debt discharged, argues that the debt was incurred during their marriage and that she does not have to pay it back. The judges must determine if the ex-wife's bankruptcy discharge relieves her of responsibility for the debt and whether or not the ex-husband is entitled to repayment.
As always, the judges provide their sharp insights and legal reasoning to these complex cases, while also engaging in lively debates and discussions between themselves. Viewers can expect to see surprise twists and turns, emotional outbursts, and unexpected verdicts as the judges strive to deliver justice in each case.
