Trying to. In line waiting to pickup my kid from school

Thank you and a great day to you!

Thank you, have a great day too!

U too

Me too, have a great day :)

I dont get that

@@andyanderson7712 footloose is a movie from the 80's and dancing was illegal in this movie. Lol. Footloose is also a song. You're probably a bit to young to know the movie or soundtrack lol 😆

Only those of us of a certain age would get that.😜

You too!

Same to you..

@@Laura-tp8wz thank you! Have a good day

The same to you!

Same to you

I agree, I love people in 2020, and years before. I hope 2022 is a lot better for most people.

I hate baby girls. Boys are so much easier! Real men are able to produce boys, my husband and I have boys :)

Her face and when she said" Where was your mother?"

and the defendant was funny too! Lol

Actually, they would argue because they both love to hear themselves☺☺😇😇

How is that the venues problem?

I agree

@@imSUPPRESED it’s no one’s and everyone’s problem all at once

Yes it is : A 'law' is passed by the senate and the house of representatives and signed by the governor. A 'mandate' is made by the governor, with the power given to them by the legislature in a state of emergency...

And the ladies can have a Stat Mitzvah 1-2 yrs later!

What a awesome job!

I don’t think this is one of those situations. The venue is either entitled to keep the deposit or the plaintiffs are entitled to get it back; it’s not a situation where some of the agreed-on work is completed or something similar.

I agree there should have been some form of payment to the venue since they had to hold the date for them and considering no where was allowed to hold that type of venue so it’s not like he was gonna get the kinda party he wanted either way. But I also see there frustration in that had they held the party it wasn’t going to be the type of party they booked for

well business owners who lost money becuz the pandemic got relief money if they applied for it and i would bet the defendant got some govt relief money so why should he get to keep the relief money and the plaintiffs money ? so i agree with the ruling . and also businesses got forgivable loans worth tens of thousands and some hundreds of thousands so why not refund these people.

@@marleonetti7 not entirely accurate. Just because you applied for the gov relief money didn’t mean you got it. I know several business owners who struggled through the shutdowns, who applied for relief money, and didn’t get any. Fact: most of the gov relief money went to big companies/chains, not small businesses. Also I think it’s irrelevant about whether he got to keep the relief money and the plaintiffs money or not - all that matters in this case is the contract and the performance/reasons for nonperformance.

I think she ruled the way she did because it would be an unknown amount of time before the venue would be able to host the type of party they were originally contracted for (a party where he could break dance) and, because it was a party to mark a particular milestone, the venue could not guarantee that they could host the type of party they were originally contracted for in a reasonable amount of time from the intended event.

@@shootingcomet082 The thing is everyone in the world has had to compromise except for the 13 year old kid. The venue was able to host his Bar Mitzvah but without the dancing, why couldn't he just accept that like so many others throughout the world have. The kid should consider himself lucky that he was even able to have a party, come to Melbourne Australia, the most locked down city in the world where churches have been forced to close, funerals could only have 10 mourners, weddings were banned, we couldn't even leave our homes unless it was for work, grocery shopping, medical reasons or an hour of exercise.

@@shootingcomet082 oh yeah i get that part but given that NO venue could accommodate that request, i.e. they have no choice but to wait regardless, i don't see how it constitutes a breach on the part of the establishment. It's not like the venue suddenly decided to not host their event and was thus responsible for the date needing to be pushed. They didn't lose anything because the party couldn't happen irrespective of anyone's wishes. That's not to mention that if the dancefloor restriction was anything like the one we had in Chicago it meant not having a dancefloor for people to dance with each other like a club but performing would be permitted if the floor acted as a "stage". So break dancing could certainly happen. I totally get how frustrating it would be for the Plaintiffs but like, what other choice do you have but to wait in the end anyway? Circumstances, at that time especially, call for patience and innovation.

@@mickm6309 It wasn't the kids idea to sue. If you think this lawsuit is ridiculous, hold the parents accountable, not a 13 year old kid. And what exactly is wrong with them saying " you can't give us what we paid for so we want our money back"?

@@shootingcomet082 Did I say it was the kids idea to sue, I said the kid should have had a rethink on how to celebrate, like having a party with maybe a few less people and no dancing.

No sympathy here. Not alot of ppl can afford a bapmitzvah (sorry about spelling though) in general let alone in COVID years 😂

Just be thankful you can hug your family tight, other people do not have the same pleasure.

Wym?

@@russiagoeshard the litigants split $5,000 for going on the show. If there's a settlement it comes out of that money and they split what's left.

@@manthony777 No both parties get $250 for appearing on the show, and the show pays for any payments awarded to the winner...

It's seriously Foot Loose!!!!!

Yes they can : A 'law' is passed by the senate and the house of representatives and signed by the governor. A 'mandate' is made by the governor, with the power given to them by the legislature in a state of emergency...

right!!?! it's not like they can take their business else where..... now that said I might say, give back a portion of the money because parts/aspects of the venue no longer exist.

you pay for what you want. not whats convenient. im sure they work hard for their earnings, so why should they have to lose out because he wanted to reconstruct what they initially paid for. since he runs a business im sure he applied for that PPP loan since he only did 5 parties over the course of this horrible outbreak.

@@djjones5715 hell are you talking about ?

Her decision is based on the venues original accomodations for the customer. I had this happen BEFORE the pandemic when I booked and paid for a family member's 21st birthday party. We put down a 50% deposit and signed the contract for a 5 hour party with a 1 hour setup time. 9 days before the event, the ownership changed hands and all of a sudden these "new" rules went into effect. We had to pay for security, and the party was cut short 1 hour, not to mention the security didn't like how grown adults were dancing provocatively. We sued them in court and won 25% of the cost and they quickly switched over to a 30+ lounge.

That’s not true I cannot stand when people say deposits are never refundable. So if you pay a deposit let’s say to hold an apartment and then you can’t get ahold of the guy to get the key to move in and you find out he rented to someone else and basically scammed you (which is a real case I’ve watched) that he gets to keep the “non refundable deposit” just bc contract states it’s non refundable? I don’t think so! Under the law deposits ARE refundable if there is a breach of contract.

🥇 comment David!!! Yay

@@weezy66 Thank You 😃

Bar mitzvah is a 13th b-day party. By definition- a KIDS party.

@@juliesun8631 Isn't it a rite of passage to adulthood along with being a really important religious event? I think that makes it a bit more formal than a kids party.

@@Blue-ej7rw No different than a 15th b-day (Mexicans) or a sweet 16 (Christians)

@@juliesun8631 in quinceañera's they dress up like their going to prom. These are formal cultural events. It's not like a sweet 16 where someone bakes a cake and watch movies or something (not a Christian thing).

So they get $1,000 for doing nothing? I agree they should get a fee maybe $100.

Not her fault how things are either. It’s an act of god

no.

😂😂😂

Maybe, but it is entirely dependent upon the governor if that will happen. No certainty at all. They wanted a dance party, and couldn't have a dance party. Not either of the two litigants' faults. The venue manager should sue the governor for the loss.

Exactly!

Perfect way to word it! PLANdemic

He's the type who likes his wife to wear the pants. It doesn't appeal to me, but he is a gentle , quieter type, imo

The 13 year old kid should have accepted that he couldn't have the Bar Mitzvah he wanted and accepted what was offered.

@@mickm6309 no.

@@chancharrabb9277 Then forfeit the deposit. Millions of other people have accepted that they can't have everything they want, why is he so special.

@@mickm6309 no, by law, they get their deposit back. if I charge you a deposit for a cake, and then cake mix goes out of stock because of a shipment issue caused by a natural disaster, i can no longer provide a cake, i can OFFER you another pastry, but thats not the original agreement you paid a deposit, so at that time i would forfeit your deposit because I can not provide you with what you wanted. Period.

I spazzed out trying to read this 😂

The defendant is a "man" too. He should be glad to be alive and of service to others...and not upset he has to return a $2000 deposit to someone because he can't fulfill the original terms of the agreement.

No. They never had a party they had a socially distant snowball fight instead of a party

It's the virtue signaling for me😒.

Everyone is tired of covid. If everyone gets fully vaccinated, we’d have a better chance of beating it.

@@hollyb6885 I hate to break it to you, but even if everyone in the world was vaccinated they'd still be talking about variants and vaccinations. This is never going away no matter how much you wish "everyone" would just get vaccinated.

@@kifa_es2780 If everyone was vaccinated, that would certainly help.
