'Losing Control' & 'Faking It' & 'Chilling Out a Customer'
First, the plaintiff was on a walk with his registered service dog. He says he took the dog off leash momentarily, and at that moment, the defendant’s dogs attacked his dog. He says his dog got badly injured in the process, so he’s suing for vet bills and emotional distress. The defendants — a son and mother — argue the plaintiff’s dog was not on a leash and the plaintiff’s dog charged at their dogs, not the other way around.
Then, the plaintiff says he brought his car to the defendant to replace his fan belt, but he claims the defendant never put in a new belt. He’s suing for his money back. The defendant claims the plaintiff brought his car to his competitor to be inspected, and he says they lied and told him the belt hadn’t been changed out.
Plus, the plaintiff says his neighbor disconnected his air conditioner condensers and moved them, and now his condo won’t cool down. He’s suing her for the cost to replace it. The defendant claims the AC unit was up against her wall, so she hired someone to move it. She refuses to pay for anything else.

'Sinking a Friendship' & 'Fudging Some Details' & 'Being All Wet'
First, the plaintiff says the defendant was a friend and they booked a cruise together. She claims the woman turned out to be a scammer who stole money from her, so she’s suing to get it back. The defendant says the plaintiff was the one who breached the agreement because she failed to get a passport and they had to pay to book another cruise. She’s countersuing for the money she says she’s owed.
Then, the plaintiff says he wanted to buy the defendant’s newly renovated cottage, but after hiring an inspector, he discovered the home had all sorts of code violations. Because of the defendant’s false claims, he’s suing for the cost of the inspection. The defendant says the plaintiff walked away from the deal, not him. He denies falsely advertising anything.
Plus, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to do the roof in his garage, but it leaks like a sieve when it rains. He has to hire a new roofer, so he’s suing the defendant for that cost. The defendant says the roof is fine — it’s the guy’s windows that are the problem.

Banging Up a Bike' & 'Not Finishing Up' & 'Having a Break-Down'
First, the plaintiff says the defendant backed into his motorcycle and knocked it down, damaging it. Not only that, the guy never told him and he had to get surveillance footage from his building. He’s suing for what he’s owed for damages. The defendant says the plaintiff was parked illegally in the defendant’s assigned spot, and all that happened was a broken mirror.
Then, the plaintiff says he hired the defendant to do some yardwork, but the guy never finished the job before he took off. He claims he had to pay a new landscaper to get it done, so he’s suing for that cost. The defendant says he wrapped the job and was paid — and tipped — and now the plaintiff wants his money back?
Plus, the plaintiff says he has five cars serviced at the defendant’s garage, but all of them have problems. He alleges the defendant won’t honor his warranties, so he’s suing for the state maximum, $5,000. The defendant says the plaintiff is a troublemaker who still owes him money.

'That's No Way to Treat Your Sister' & 'Taking Advantage of a Mom' & 'Banging Up a Boater'
First, the plaintiff is taking her younger sister to court. The plaintiff says she loaned her money to help pay for an apartment but has not been paid back, so she’s suing. The defendant says she doesn’t owe her sister anything because the money was a gift and not a loan.
Then, the plaintiff says she’s a single mom of six kids under 12, and she bought a used car from the defendant, but he scammed her. She claims the vehicle had a faulty transmission, so she’s suing for a refund. The defendant says the car was in good shape, and he has no intention of giving her a refund.
Plus, the plaintiff says she loaned the defendant her boat, but he failed to secure it to his dock and it disappeared. She says he promised he would take good care of it but obviously didn’t, so she’s suing for its value. The defendant says the plaintiff stored her boat at his dock and it got stolen. He says she’s better off calling police to report the theft, because he didn’t take it.

'Packaging a Problem' & 'Wrecking the Joint, But Bad'
First, the plaintiff sold porcelain sinks and hired the defendant to ship them. The plaintiff said both sinks arrived broken and the defendant refuses to repay, so he’s suing for the cost of the sinks. The defendant argues the plaintiff’s son refused to buy insurance when he was shipping, so he does not think he owes anything.
Then, the plaintiff says she hired the defendants to repair the ceilings in her house, but it took 35 days and they did a terrible job. She’s suing for lost rent and a refund. The defendants say they’ve been friends with the plaintiff for years and they regret mixing business with pleasure. They deny owing anything.
