Wayne and Cameron have come to Judge Rinder’s court to settle a dispute regarding a car sale. Wayne sold Cameron a car, which Cameron later claimed had issues with the gearbox and asked for a refund. Wayne refused the refund, stating that the car was sold as seen and Cameron had signed a document stating this.
As the trial begins, Judge Rinder asks both parties to explain their side of the story. Wayne claims that he informed Cameron about the issues with the gearbox and that he had test-driven the car before buying it. Cameron, on the other hand, denies that Wayne told him about any issues and states that he trusted Wayne and relied on his reputation as a car dealer.
To gather more information about the situation, Judge Rinder allows both parties to provide evidence and call witnesses. They bring in mechanics who inspected the car and a friend of Cameron who was present during the purchase. The mechanics’ testimony supports Cameron’s claims that there were issues with the gearbox, while Cameron’s friend supports Wayne’s claims that he did inform Cameron of the issues prior to the sale.
Judge Rinder notes that there are contradictions in both parties’ arguments and that it is unclear whether or not Wayne informed Cameron of the issues with the car. However, he points out that the document that Cameron signed stating that the car was sold as seen holds weight in the decision-making process.
After reviewing all the evidence presented, Judge Rinder concludes that Cameron took a risk by purchasing the car as seen and that Wayne did not misrepresent the condition of the car. He rules in Wayne’s favor and denies Cameron’s request for a refund.
The episode also includes a second case where a landlord and tenant are arguing about a rental deposit. The landlord claims that the tenant damaged the property and that the deposit was used to cover the repairs. The tenant denies causing any damage and accuses the landlord of unfairly withholding the deposit.
As with the first case, Judge Rinder allows both parties to present evidence and call witnesses. The landlord presents photos of the damaged property and invoices for the repairs, while the tenant brings in her own photos and testimonies from neighbors who confirm that the property was not damaged during her tenancy.
Judge Rinder notes that the burden of proof is on the landlord, who must provide evidence that the tenant did cause the damages. However, he also points out that the tenant must prove that the damages were not caused by her. After reviewing all the evidence presented, Judge Rinder rules in favor of the landlord and denies the tenant’s request for the return of the deposit.
Overall, the episode showcases the importance of evidence and documentation in legal disputes and emphasizes the need for clear communication between parties in any transaction. Despite the disagreements and conflicting testimony, Judge Rinder is able to make fair and just decisions based on the evidence presented.
