  • The plaintiff’s fiancé passed away six days before their wedding. She is now suing her wedding planner for a refund. The defendant feels awful about what happened to the plaintiff, but says that she has a no-refund policy, and therefore owes nothing.

      Y'all go back to 11:30 - this was a misunderstanding that resulted in the defendant loses. The Plaintiff was presenting "text messages" (not a receipt of a payment) by the name "She" saved the planner under..... I don't think there was deception here, just a simple misunderstanding of the planner thinking they were referring to monies paid.
      Condolence to the Bride, her Children and Walter's family!

    For the people saying the judge ruled out of emotion please realise that you need to go and read contract law 101. AN ACT OF GOD is a legal term that most contracts should include, and if they don’t (because they are trying to be greedy and safeguard their pockets NO MATTER WHAT) then a judge is within its right to interpret what would constitute an act of god. The defendant had no factual detriment in her contractual duties and was keeping money for work she did not do. This is not just a question of lack of empathy it’s a lack of legal ethic. If you don’t like the way judge Mathis rule don’t watch.

      No he ruled out of emotion the act of God argument was there the whole case until she lied. He was leaning towards her favor then let's his emotions change his decision at best he should've came down on her for lying but still rule in her favor.

    • @curlylulu9721
      @curlylulu9721 4 роки тому +54

      YeLa Kennels nope. This isn’t a debate. Just because he ended it abruptly doesn’t change the law, an act of god should ALWAYS be considered when speaking of termination or dissolution of a contract. And decisions are made on a balance of probabilities so if the defendant can’t prove her point then she loses. Simple as. That’s not a question of emotions it’s a question of the probablility of liability not being on her favour 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'd want my money back too." Death or not there are businesses who refund people here and there. Sometimes that business mindset has be pushed to the side. I work for the courts, we know unexpected life situations not in our control happens, there's times the judges will let things slide and have sympathy.

      No one is going to rent out a venue for a function only days before the date.....I think a partial refund is right but not all of the money whether or not there have been expenses and vendors paid out , the woman still put in hours of work organising it all ...Small businesses can’t just refund especially if the money has been spent on supplies etc ...once she told the vendors it was off they also would all have been out of money they were likely relying on to pay their mortgage or other bills.....it’s terribly sad she lost her fiancée but there are two sides / consequences to every thing.....personally I would not have expected a refund of any money paid but hope not to be required to pay any remaining balance.

      Leola .. it’s a hard one ...I worked as a bridal florist and did event decor for over twenty years and few venues we dealt with could ever fill spots cancelled at the last moment , maybe if a few weeks ahead but not a few days prior.... the company I worked for lost tens of thousands of dollars over the years for function orders cancelled as late as day of . In the end we had to do the “final payment due ten days before function/ wedding and no refunds under any circumstances “ thing because we had often bought the flowers , expensive vases and decorations and other ordered in especially supplies in their colour scheme and design , hired the marquee etc and spent many , many hours making up bouquets etc which could not have been re sold as they only last a few days or less depending on the weather , and we never had a bride pop in days before a wedding and want the exact items that may have just become available....
      it’s also a very good example of why life insurance is a very good investment prior to getting married or buying a house etc so you have money for expenses if the worst happens... when my 27 year old unmarried brother died suddenly my dad almost had to sell his car to pay for his funeral but at the last moment we found out he had a small policy that covered all the expenses, which because he died overseas were quite high .

    Omg I could’ve slapped that defendant at the end. Keep your insincere condolences and just shut up. This woman is grieving and she’s still trying to argue.

    She was heartless and a liar, we as humans beings should be more compassionate.. power of a dollar... I guess. I’m a Small Business Owner and I would never in my wildest dreams behave this way to my fellow women/man. Thank you JM, taught her a$$ a good lesson.

    Yeah... this is a hard one. He died a week before the wedding. Everybody lost. At the very least, the planner should have been able to keep a
    deposit. She did do work. She's entitiled to something.

    I work in the wedding industry and I know people who have refunded based on death and illnesses. This woman is cold. And it sounds like she didn't pay any vendor yet.

    Oh wow! This reminds me so much of the time I put a huge down payment on a rental home (several thousand dollars), and the day before we were supposed to move, I lost my husband. The movers, workers, and everyone else involved had mercy on me and gave me a full refund... all but the landlord who tricked me! Our check hadn't even been cleared by the bank yet, and she told me "sorry for your loss, but please allow the check to clear the bank and then I'll refund it right back to you." Stupid me I should've cancelled the check but I was young and naive! After the check cleared she never returned my calls and kept the money. She rented it out the following week and would've had to legally refund majority of my deposit anyway even if it wasn't for the act of God. Either way I missed out and didn't realize I had legal options. What a B she was!
