Judge Judy Season 1 Episode 177 Cosmetic samples; car dispute.
- June 13, 1997
The episode "Cosmetic Samples; Car Dispute" of Judge Judy season 1 episode 177 features two separate cases.
The first case involves two women, one of whom was selling cosmetic samples online. The buyer received the samples but claimed they were not what she ordered and demanded a refund. The seller argued that the buyer agreed to the sale and should not be entitled to a refund. Judge Judy listened to both sides and ultimately ruled in favor of the buyer, stating that the samples were not what she expected and therefore she was entitled to a refund.
The second case involves a dispute between two men over a car. The plaintiff had sold a car to the defendant, who claimed the car had a faulty transmission and demanded a refund. The plaintiff argued that he had disclosed the issue before the sale and therefore was not responsible for the defect. Judge Judy examined the contract between the two men and found that the plaintiff had indeed disclosed the transmission issue. She ruled in favor of the plaintiff, stating that the defendant had purchased the car with full knowledge of the defect.
Throughout both cases, Judge Judy displays her characteristic no-nonsense approach to justice, asking pointed questions and cutting through any attempts at obfuscation or emotional arguments. The episode demonstrates her ability to listen to both sides and make a fair judgment based on the evidence presented.
