Her sister took the car without permission, wrecked it and yet her parents expect absolutely noting from her. She moved home, had a baby, does not work.... nothing expected. She needs to be held responsible for her decisions.
I absolutely would. Especially for this kind of behavior. The daughter was getting put to the side for the other one. I would've sued my mom for that too
To say you’re never going to hear again it’s so cruel and he better hope that those words don’t come back to bite him in his butt where he would never hear again!
The first case is a definition of the problem society is facing with the younger generation. 1/ you’ve got a kid who is acting out and feeling entitled enough to steal a car and think the world owes her and then 2/ you have another kid who is suing her mum (I’m Australian, that’s how we spell it), because she went out and signed for an apartment using the promise of her parent’s money for it rather than going out, working and saving the money for herself and then taking her mum to Court to sue her for the money where a situation caused the money to be spent for the graduate daughter’s convenience. Sure, she could wait for her sister to pay her back and wait for the insurance to investigate it (if she was even insured?). But you’d be waiting a hell of a while. Sounds like both the daughter’s are just as bad as each other, just in different ways.
Obviously there is a family drama going on and we don’t know the detail. I am not young but I would have done the same thing if my kid sister is causing all the troubles. I won’t be surprised if the kid sister was driving without a license or uninsured (that was why the accident was not reported to the insurance company).
That's crazy how you sued your mother after she just spent all that money on you and your living under her roof. I don't agree with the mother taking up for the younger sister that wasn't right what she did.
That first case was so weird to me. I don't think I agree about the gift part. It's a gift. If you intend to give someone a gift, that's great! But you aren't obligated if you change your mind. It's a crappy thing to do, but it's not a legal contract or anything. I swear there have been cases like that before, gifts being promised and not followed through, and that wasn't held against them. 🤷🏻♀️ I don't really buy the reliance defence in this case. I may have felt differently if her parents promised her the money to specifically help her move out because they needed space in their home for the other daughter coming back in and bringing her child. If the plaintiff had made preparations to move out then that would have been different too. But it just seemed that they were going to give her a gift for graduating. Whatever the plaintiff was planning on doing with that money was on her. The money wasn't promised specifically to her because the parents needed space in the house for the other daughter and granddaughter. The car though. I'm surprised she wasn't instructed to sue her sister. Since that who wrecked it. Or both her mom AND her sister. The plaintiff shouldn't be responsible for paying for her car to get repaired, and she should be able to choose the shop of her choice(minus the engine cleaning). The car was in her name, she owned it. If it was the parent's car that would have been a different story.
No I don’t agree, they’ve spoilt the younger daughter, her not having a job, is a problem, and you don’t indulge the younger one when she caused so many problems. You do not take a car without permission and they didn’t want to contact the insurance because it would not be insured for her sister so they would get nothing back, not in the UK anyway.
I can understand the sister's frustration. Her sister was the one who wrecked her car in the first place, and then Mom tries the cheap and half-assed approach to fixing the car, rather than taking it to a legirimate mechanic and then, the parents shortchange the plaintiff on her graduation gift by taking out $500 to pay for the car repairs, while also helping the younger sister and her children and now OP is jealous and angry.
11:54 The defendant cursed, which you can't do when the case is won 18:18 The plaintiff & the defendant had a disagreement after the case which was won, but only for half is better than nothing
Well it’s not fair what the mother did at all. I agree with the judge, her older daughter suffered her car damaged, and just thrown back together cheap and then really she paid for the repair because they took it out of her money, even a blind man could see that’s not right or fair.
was it the daughter’s money? It was still coming out of the mother’s pocket first. The mother may have promised it but that’s life for you! The daughter’s lucky she could even afford to go to college. My mum didn’t give me $5000 for being an adult. Why should she get it?
