- February 7, 2017
In The People's Court season 20 episode 77, entitled "Friendship Ruined Over Furniture Sale", a dispute between former friends over a furniture sale gone wrong is presented to Judge Marilyn Milian. The plaintiff claims that she sold a couch and loveseat to the defendant for $300, but the defendant only gave her $200 and promised to pay the remaining $100 the following day. According to the plaintiff, the defendant never paid the remaining $100 and has refused to return the furniture.
The defendant, on the other hand, argues that the plaintiff initially agreed to sell the furniture for $200, but later changed her mind and demanded an additional $100. The defendant claims that she did pay the agreed-upon $200 and has been willing to return the furniture, but the plaintiff has refused to pick it up.
Throughout the episode, Judge Milian listens to both sides and tries to get to the bottom of what really happened. She asks each party to provide evidence to support their claims, including text messages and emails exchanged between the two women.
As the case unfolds, it becomes clear that there were some miscommunications and misunderstandings between the two parties. However, Judge Milian ultimately rules in favor of the plaintiff, stating that the defendant did owe the remaining $100 and should have returned the furniture when requested. The plaintiff is awarded the full $300 she originally requested, as well as court fees.
The episode highlights the importance of clear communication and transparency in any transaction, especially when it involves friends. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest disagreements can escalate and cause significant damage to relationships. Judge Milian's ruling not only resolves the dispute at hand but also offers a valuable lesson for viewers.
