I am Not Budging an Inch 

Yeah i run around and just give everyone a deposit to hold 🤣🤣 that makes no sense !! Dude let it go 🤣🤣🤣

I can't imagine giving someone a deposit and telling them not to order the item. Why, why give a deposit. Makes no sense!

Plaintiff makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

When a litigant says, to be honest with you, I'm automatically suspicious. Also, when a litigant makes no eye contact with the judge, they aren't believable. As a side note, I love the conversations between Mr. Judge and Mrs. Judge at the end. HOWEVER, Mrs. Judge needs to be a bit more mindful of letting Judge John speak. Poor man can't even finish a sentence.

Why would someone order a door before permit approval 🤦🏽‍♀️

Trying to get ahead of the game backfired on him , SOMETIMES IT"S JUST BETTER TO BE PATIENT ' SMH 😆💯

He (Plaintiff) knew he was wrong and was going to lose.

I wish he'd tried to explain why he gave them money for them to do nothing instead of talking around in circles.

The plaintiff ordered the door and never picked it up. It was his fault and that’s why he lost. Case closed !

As soon as it was known that this deposit was more than 3 years old, the Plaintiff lost. The Plaintiff knows full well he ordered the door but wanted it to be held until it could be installed. He was notified the door arrived but couldn't get it installed. The Defendant should have countersued for storage.

$1700.00 he paid for air 🤔

He’s talking in circles

WHY ON EARTH do people wonder WHY US businesses are in trouble if they work like this ! Both of them are comedy characters.

This case primarily relies on the plaintiff's claim that he gave $1,670 with the condition that the door not be ordered. A poorly handwritten receipt without a purchase date contributed to the plaintiff's loss. It is perplexing why people give large sums of money and later claim they had no intention to pay or receive anything in return. If the door was not expected to be ordered, why give the money unless there was a condition to do so? The plaintiff prematurely expected zoning approval. Additionally, no one usually hands over money for something uncertain; poor decision-making and presumptions cost the plaintiff this case. On a side note, these shorter cases, lasting 15 minutes or less, often miss details. Judge Milian presided over three or four cases daily, and they are much longer than what is aired. We only see the edited versions. Judge Milian researches each case beforehand, so she is fully aware of the details before hearing them. My intention is not to justify her attitude or behavior towards the litigants but to highlight that she is well-informed. Her courtroom behavior might not be favored in a formal court of law, but it suits the show's entertainment purposes. I sometimes wish she allowed the litigants to elaborate, but it is what it is for the show's format. Judge Milian does not tolerate inconsistencies among litigants and calls them out on it. She was a prosecutor before presiding over The People's Court, and her approach is consistent with everyone, not just selective individuals.

Unbury the door pieces and give them to the customer 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This plaintiff is a joke Doesn't make sense

Happy Monday. I hope all the dads had a great Father’s Day

This is what happens when you run outta money and backtracking to see what you can scrap up 👩🏿‍⚖️

Dang, just let the door slam into the lady, then do the exact same thing with the gate…

Happy Monday people’s court fam!

I think what the plaintiff was trying to say is that yes he wanted the door but he didn't want it because he wasn't sure he'd get a permit but otherwise he didn't want it but gave a deposit for the door that he didn't want to buy yet.

$1,670 as a deposit?? I would like to know what the total cost of the door was originally. I think the door guy was shady too. He printed that “receipt” prior to coming and it didn’t even have a date on it.

The plaintiff story sounds ridiculous.

“you went to the store, you picked out a door” *crossed arms emoji*

Doug is everything! I hate when People's Court cuts him out.

The defendant already fiesty...telling the woman to sit dodn

Does he get what’s left of the door ? He should

The plaintiff should at least have gotten the door, After all, he did pay for it!

How tf can someone tell you " You can't have that door " 😅. Screw that it's my property, I pay taxes on my property, I'll put whatever door I want to. Unless it's a danger to the public.

Prove he selected the door 🚪. There should be documentation on the selection and vendor for the door

Because Plaintiff has the burden of proof, it is correct that he lost the case. However, Defendant lied and got a windfall because he never ordered the door.

If the Plaintiff had properly applied for the permits (and were up to code) to begin with, they would have been approved within a few months, at most. Even by the Plaintiff's own admission, he didn't contact the Defendant for 1.5 of those 3 years, it SUPPOSEDLY took to get approved. He clearly abandoned his deposit/the door.

Cases like this are difficult to judge when both litigates make terrible decisions.

simple solution to this from the beginning. Don't give him any money until you've gotten the permit. Then you don't have to worry about getting it back if you don't get it

I’d finish paying and resale the four myself. lol’

Everyone knows you don't get returns on custom made items.

The plaintiff said only 80% of the door is there because he parted out the door but claimed it was custom.

Lemon laws in Massachusetts assure buyers 30 days. This means that if the car isn't safe to drive, you can get your money back.

I am not a Judge but even i know you can NEVER get a Custom built door unless you specifically order that door. This guy saud he dud not order a door .... hellooooo ?????

Before this gets actually started, I'm having problems with the defendant's attitude already‼️ 1st, he leaves the lady far behind! & Then tells her to "Sit down!" What a prude!!!

So let's forget about the date of deposit... if the defendant " has the door because it is a custom door" wouldn't she order the defendant to return the door then?

Happy Monday everyone!

Think good call 😉

Happy Monday ☀️

What material is that $1700 door made of? Thieves may steal the door even if there's nothing valuable inside the building.

He didn't go about this correctly

Why does the judge get so upset and yell? People make mistakes for all kinds of reasons. The man most likely had a heavy load.My gosh if she worked with sick people and all that people in the medical field deal with, she would never make it in a large field of stress.

We made it gang. Happy Monday 🎉🎉

If the plaintiff doesn't get his $1,670 back, shouldn't he receive the door? Also, since the door was cannibalized, by the defendant, for use on other projects, shouldn't the plaintiff receive a potion of the price of the door back?

I have done this sometimes you pay for stuff in advance but people always try to keep your money without completing the work

The plaintiff says he gave a deposit of $1670 without knowing the final total amount it was going to be, yet apparently asking them not to order the door. None of that makes sense! But the defendant provided a none dated receipt, which he could have made up at any date, since when does the judge accept that sort of thing as proof? If the defendant still has the door, then shouldn't he have been ordered to hand it over to the plaintiff?...

Sure enough, he was denied...lmbo

Not necessarily disagreeing with the judge on the verdict, but she says “prove you paid mone”. If he didn’t pay, why did the other guy order the door? Also, zoning can take a few years, especially if there’s a few waivers required or there’s any kind of opposition.

Was the plaintiff locked up ?

Good gracious..stop interrupting the plaintiff

Cant believe she didnt get the defendant to,prove he ordered the door! He was shady as f but she never asked for proof!

Both litigants kept going on this endless loop, like Judge Milian wasn't understanding what they were saying!! She was clearly getting annoyed, as was I. 😉🙉🙉

❤❤ exactly 😂❤😂❤❤ keep all whole !!!

One thing I don’t understand is JM comes from a contracting family. She doesn’t seem to grasp things take time. Especially during Covid. Last year, you couldn’t even get an inground pool installed in the New England area. They were incredibly backed up. Window installations took a long time for the same reason. The plaintiff here should not have put down a deposit - but I also get why he did it - because of reasons I mentioned.

Happy mondayyy

This went on too long🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

The plantiff is an idiot but I kind of don't believe the defendant when he said they did order the door but has no proof of having the door.

That would be like me going to a car dealership, ordering a car, before I go for my driver's test, and then failing and wanting the deal to be cancelled. Strange world we live in.

It would cause too much confusion on the door company's end to accept money that wasn't attached to an order.

🚪

boo, she treated them this way only because of their race! oh, no , wait,....

Uh duh deposit, that's why

Anybody else notice how the defendant ordered the woman to "Sit down" at the beginning? The plaintiff is a goof, but I believe the defendant agreed to wait. IMO

It all hinges on him being able to prove he told him not to order without final approval. Well see. Update: No proof. But plaintiff said he got a "raw deal". Ha!

🙋🏻‍♀️

First!! 🎉🎉🎉 Happy Monday!!

So the only custom part of the order is the frame - sounds like he sold the door. Doesn’t the plaintiff get credit for this?

Bang bang niner gang let’s go 🎉🎉🎉🎉

This situation could've been resolved if there was better communication between these two in my opinion. But People come into Milian's courtroom and allow the disrespect! I'll never understand why people put up with this. She did that throughout this case to both litigants. She'd never talk to me like this. I don't care if she dismissed it or not. She'd get an earful!
