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

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!

Finally, a plaintiff with a legitimate case!

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

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

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

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 😮

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.

The plaintiff did a great job!

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

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.

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...

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

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

"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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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”?

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

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.

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

Guess his word is worthless

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...

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

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

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.

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

"Pay the guy" 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣 (that damn Doug)

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.

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

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

The plaintiff and his lady are such a cute couple visually

The plaintiff is so handsome 😍😍😍

Doug is always so snarky.

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

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

Glad he won!!

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

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

What a dutty business the defendant has

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

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.

Absolutely correct judgment

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

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

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

I was hoping for something different based on the title 😂

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

Give him his money back👋

Hope nobody uses that guys company wow.

25 is NOT a "milestone"!

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 😮😮😂😂

BRAVO TO YOU PLAINTIFF!👍😊

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

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

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

He won't be in business for long

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'...

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. 👎

You can rent a party hall without a deposit?

Sharp plaintiff

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 😮

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

This defendant is a bad business man - get out

I would never do business with the defendant they business shady

The plaintiff's witness is fricken GORGEOUS. 😍

I hope that venue fails. Dudes is sus

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.

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

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

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

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

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

The defendant deciding to ignore their contract is ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!! And they should pay for breaking that contract!!!!! As a young business, they're destroying their reputation. I'm so depressed by how stupid the crowd is. I actually skip over it now because the average American has NO CLUE about the law!

Good to know:)

Great job to plaintiff

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

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

terrible business. May that karma return to them

A very merry unbirthday to you!🥰🤩🥰

This is cool it worked for me 😂

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

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

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

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

That is a contract

No deposit, no contact.! If they would have to pay anything should be just the difference not a free party. Get real judge that's not making whole that's getting cake and eating and not paying for anything.
