Being a Party-Pooper 

"We didn't have a signed contract. We just had an email agreement." SO YOU HAD A CONTRACT. 👀👀👀

This guy is shady! What a piece of work, his business won’t go far!

What an entitled jerk that defendant is. I can't believe he thought it was ok to just pull the rug out from under the plaintiff's event in the first place, let alone without giving him any compensation!

The plaintiff and little lady seem so sweet! Looks like their parents raised them with the proper respect! We need more of this!🖤✊🏽

The defendant still had no clue of what he did wrong at the end.

Finally, a plaintiff with a legitimate case!

Defendant wont stay in business long treating customers like that. He still doesnt think he did anything wrong

Changed the date TWICE and still left plaintiff high n dry 😮

The plaintiff did a great job!

Bless the plaintiff's heart, he was so nervous. The defendant should be ashamed. I wouldn't want to do business with anyone who, as JM says, has no honor.

Judge Milian is at her best today. She calmly explains the law to the litigants, giving bailiff Douglas a knowing look. (She always does that - they are great friends.) She is always amused by people because she genuinely likes people and cares about justice for them. Everything runs smooth as silk. She is true to form today. A great humanitarian and a great person. I'm a big fan...

Not only did the venue breech the contract, but the plaintiff only happened to find out because he called them. What if he hadn't? His guests would've either showed up with no venue.

What the defendant doesn't realize is the plaintiff had to spend $1,500 out of his own pocket versus the $2,500 bar minimum that would have come from the total amount of guests/ patrons pockets, not just the plaintiffs. At worst the plaintiff would have only needed to pay the difference. They just got greedy. Simple as that

I'm curious when the defendant was going to tell the plaintiff that he didn't have the venue on that date, if the plaintiff didn't reach out to him that day... Or if he was planning on telling him at all...

Cool that works is definitely an AGREEMENT. Thankfully he got it in email, or plaintiff would’ve lost

Glad he got it all and didn't need any rough justice. ⚖

"Cool that works" in an email is a written contract! How do people not understand this?! The defendant did wrong by the plaintiff and made his business look bad and untrustworthy. He should have at LEAST called the plaintiff and said that he was unable to accommodate him on that day and offer to return his money! So many shady people are out here in this world... Smh.

A verbal contract is just as good i don’t know what the defendant was thinking smh when you agreed to let the plaintiff have his event that night that contract is binding period

If he didn't come you would have sued him for not coming....

I wish they required businesses to use their name so that others could be warned not to use them.

I’d be surprised if he’s still in business with that attitude. He should’ve bent over backwards to accommodate the plaintiff to keep good will. Even if he never came back as a customer if he gave a refund. He just wanted to keep his money when he didn’t even provide anything. And he’s the reason they didn’t provide anything. Not sure what he was thinking.

I totally agree. If that is the way they want to do business then they will never be successful. New businesses needs to earn a reputation.

I dont even know 250 people!!!!😅. That guy will not be in buisness very long.

I wouldn’t trust that venue. They’ll cancel and won’t care because he agreed by saying “okay cool” and doesn’t feel he should honor that “okay cool”?

10:06 He did NOT learm something, anything nor does he think that his word's are a contract.

If he’s still in business after this I’d be very suprised he’s definitely not a good business person and very shady

Seems pretty cut and dry to me. He had a verbal contract. Pay the man what he's out!

The Defendant unfairly breached the Plaintiff's party's plans 2X. Glad the Plaintiff won & his 25th party ended up successful!

The plaintiff should be an attorney! Very good speaker, facts are succinct and voice inflection is excellent!

That lady in the back left by the door with that crimson lipstick 😮

I love how the defendant was complaining that there should have been a more concrete agreement. Hmmm... I wonder how the venue could have possibly made it into a more concrete agreement...

Guess his word is worthless

Plaintiff is a good representation of my fellow black men... im proud of him 💯

😂😂😂 he learned today. He will be paying that back

Bragged abt $10,000 but won't pay tht man!!!

"Pay the guy" 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣 (that damn Doug)

Anyone watching this should really think twice before conducting any kind of business with this defendant . I think he is going to be seeing the inside of a courtroom as a defendant many, many times.

"Just his friend?" Not sure why that always matters...

The business is so short-sighted chasing the quick buck. Trust, confidence, goodwill are all things money can't buy and can only be earned by doing good business. And by good I mean fair, honest and with integrity. They might have made more money that one night but in the long run, when people hear and learn about their business practices, they're going to find they have no business at all. I'm glad the plaintiff was able to find another venue and was able to have an enjoyable party. Especially with a cute friend like that.

People have their self a birthday party and charge people to come?😂

I'm not happy that the People's Court is over, but on the flip side I am happy that it's over just so we don't have to listen to Harvey anymore. I could never stand how he would talk down to people and acts like he's better than everyone and knows all and everyone else is just stupid. He also loves to brag about how he used to be a lawyer. Used to be is nothing to brag about.

8 days is unreasonable the event has already been promoted. An email agreement is a contract. His sense of entitlement is like a sociopath

Went right over his head. Did not learn a thing. Agree with the judge

Doug is always so snarky.

The plaintiff is so handsome 😍😍😍

The plaintiff and his lady are such a cute couple visually

It’s giving Michael T. Jordan 😏 very handsome and well spoken.

That was shady. Soulless young entrepreneur, very sad. The defendant has no integrity.

1:09 is when Adam The Woo happens to walk into frame like what's going on here lol.

25 is NOT a "milestone"!

Glad he won!!

So happy he won. I hope he learned a valuable lesson. WOW can’t believe he is still in business… absolutely NO INTEGRITY!!!! Boooo

Defendent is a piece of work. I hope everyone learns about his little club and boycotts it

The defendant needs to.learn how contracts work or hes in for more law suits honestly lol

Yall remeber to downvote Adrians toxic comments to keep them at the bottom of the chat.

What a dutty business the defendant has

You can rent a party hall without a deposit?

The lady beside Harvey in the pink and black dress has been in at least 6 different episodes that I’ve seen wearing that exact same outfit every time 😮😮😂😂

Very unprofessional, no principles, I would never use that company and would pass on the experience and write a very bad Yelp review. Do what you say, have some integrity!

I was hoping for something different based on the title 😂

I do not see the business the defendant works for lasting that long if they can't even realize they had a binding contract for the plaintiff's event, smh.

Give him his money back👋

Damn. They beat the plaintiff's forehead down with the Fenty 😂

Hope nobody uses that guys company wow.

Defendant is shady and greedy, he’ll tank his business quick like that

He won't be in business for long

Comment from the guy @5:02 who said “implied contract”… brilliant!! I never thought of a restaurant / business like that. 5:02

I would never do business with the defendant they business shady

The plaintiff’s “ friend” is so cute . Hopefully he can change her status .

That's karma. Felt sorry for the poor bloke. (Plaintiff). At least now he'll think twice before going to the Defendant's business. Very greedy people. 👎

What a beautiful couple. Great example for all young people.

Absolutely correct judgment

This defendant is a bad business man - get out

What a jerk the defendant is! He may have thought that he was doing what was best and smart by taking the higher contract that night but he probably actually hurt his business in the long run, the reason I say that is because people aren't going to want to rent a venue if they think there could be a chance that the venue is going to cancel a couple of days before because they have a higher contract, not only that but these types of businesses heavily rely on referral by word-of-mouth so I would think he would want to do right by the customer and honor his obligation! His comment at the end saying the plaintiff only paid $1,500 for a venue so really he was saving money was the stupidest thing I ever heard! He also had a lot less people show up than he had intended so of course he got a smaller venue.

Glad to see intelligent people the plantiff was , cause some people would have made it eat his actions not in a good way smh. Who do you think you is trying to be slick . Wow he really thought he did nothing wrong and yet he still didn't get it . F. SSA . POS..it 😮

Sharp plaintiff

The defendant will cross the wrong client one day...

Lost on why he had to pay him, but whatever😂😂

Did he get a free party/venue? He didn’t pay the original venue why fees.

The plaintiff's witness is fricken GORGEOUS. 😍

The defendant is not a good businessman, he doesn't have a written contract on purpose so that at the last minute he can chose the highest bidder and without the slightest care for the person he leaves without a venue. Had the plaintiff changed his mind at the last second and left the defendant in the lurch, you can bet he would have been taking him to court based on 'cool, works'...

I hope that venue fails. Dudes is sus

theyre lying.. they just didnt want to rent the place to the plaintiff. 🤷🏾‍♀️

terrible business. May that karma return to them

BRAVO TO YOU PLAINTIFF!👍😊

“ cool, that works “ can absolutely 1,000% be perceived as a contract..it’s meeting of the minds.

A agreement is a agreement. The thing is that there was physical proof that it happened

FYI..."Cool that works " IS a contract

That is a contract

This is cool it worked for me 😂

Defendant is a lame-o. It’s a terrible way to do business. Tsk tsk.

The plaintiff and his witness 😍 😍 .. I know their parents are proud. Defendants won’t be in business too long .

Wow, so he got a free venue? He should have got some back some loss but to get it free was stupud ruling.

He ain’t learned shit. Still trying to argue.

Defendant later left that job in order to co-found FTX with his brother Sam...

so the defendant is there because his parents didnt want to show up to court ..

Geez… I understood that concept as a 14 year old teenager babysitting. If I said I would babysit your kids on Saturday night for four hours, I didn’t cancel on you when somebody else offered me a job that was longer or paid more. A commitment is commitment, and the defendant came off as an entitled jerk.

What makes 25 a milestone birthday?😢

I know the plaintiff and witness are friends, but they would make a fine ass couple lol... just an observation. Glad he got his money from that creep!

What did the defendant get from the plaintiff in consideration - usually a deposit - to formalize the contract?
