So when the plaintiff said "I had a friend who gave me an estimate for $300 but because the defendant doesn't want to pay up I took it to the dealer" that right there is what I call a hustle. The plaintiff is a hustler. And I'm glad judge milian called him out for it.

[@Maninawig]

I agree, but for another reason: • He is friends with Mr. Lancaster, so there's no way he'd blame a friend. • If he goes against the middle neighbour, then that might make things hairy for Mr. Lancaster, so again, let's avoid that. • So to avoid that, just sue the faceless and rich entity who owns the building. That way you get to make the rich pay, stick it to the man, and avoid straining a friendship. That's a hustle that he'll probably die thinking that oppression kept him from winning ... "Corporate greed keeping the little man down!" Note: I am using tropes to paint a picture of how I think he's hustling, and not accusing them directly.

If he was driving through the gate, that means the gate was either open or closed. He had to get out, open the gate and drive through. He must not have propped the gate open and put a rock or something to stop it from swinging closed before he droved passed... so it hit him. That would be HIS FAULT. This is assuming it was always just a junky manual gate. It doesn't matter if there was a lock or NO LOCK. NOT IMPORTANT. The point is whether the gate was PROPPED OPEN SECURELY so that his Jeep wasn't hit. He didn't PARK at the gate, he was driving through the gate. So the issue is really about what did HE DO during that time and whether the gate could swing in the wind.

[@Shaikhofilm]

Let’s see if the defendant allows the plaintiff to ever go on the property ever again. Also, Lancaster will be kicked out. The plaintiff stayed too long with his van in the middle of the gate, then the wind blew the gate closed on him. The plaintiff was there before- didn’t he remember the gate? Claiming $2700 body damage is pure fraud, trying to steal from the defendant. The plaintiff wouldn’t even pay $250 to repair the body damage- just wants free money, otherwise he would have repaired before the case.

SHE LOST THE LOCK. Lancaster bought the new lock. The Defendant doesn't know anything. He's lying about virtually EVERYTHING. This doesn't matter. The Plaintiff was just visiting. He was IN THE CAR when the car was hit, DRIVING INSIDE. Was the gate ELECTRIC or MANUAL???? Nobody is answering that question in the video. This case is screwed.

[@axisonconsole9192]

The judge is smart asf. Explaining to everyone exactly what the problem is. Mr. Sir definitely should have had the tenant who didnt get the lock pay for damage. Not the managers fault. Though, he should definitely have had the proper materials with him

[@arthurmonk7688]

THE BUILDINGS GATE SWUNG OPEN AND HIT THE GENTS CAR. The building/manager/owner is at fault. The Gent should have not got involved with any tenants. The buildings gate(had no chain) = Owner/Manager pays..... or no?

[@kaeshalae1]

Exactly. simple, very Cut and dry. He wins. However, He’s a little touched and gave evidence against himself

[@bossladiee]

So if we didn’t know the middle tenant was responsible for the missing lock, would the property owner be responsible?

[@kaeshalae1]

Yup. And honestly if he didn’t say they were friends he would of won. Landlord would of probably taking it out of their security deposit of sued the tenant.

[@venuscacaobean7574]

No

[@shootingcomet082]

The property owner still would not be responsible because the judge ruled that 24hrs is a reasonable amount of time to pass in between the property manager being informed of the situation (which he was informed late at night, when he couldn't do anything about it) and him securing the gate. The guy's case would have been considered unfortunate timing.

Judge Milan never asked to see the actual damage to the car. But the defendant should have brought some kind of paperwork with him.

[@stratfordbaby]

Is the gate electronic or what??? That's unclear. If he's driving through an open gate and it swings closed while he's driving through, that's his tough luck. He would have needed to be sure the gate was propped open. The defendant is lying because he doesn't know any dates and is just making everything up. This doesn't have anything to do with a lock or not. This has to do with was the gate ELECTRIC or manual.

Management or the owner should have made sure there was a temporary fix until it could be fix. What if someone was injured? Would the judge have made the same decision?

[@Nameless_mixes]

Even at the end, the plaintiff is complaining about things happening 2 days later. He’s either never owned property or doesn’t maintain his own property. A chain doesn’t always get replaced even within a week. What amazes me is how the defendant had absolutely no evidence whatsoever and some how won his case. The plaintiff’s testimony was basically the shovel he used to dig his own grave…

[@sarahortiz67]

What doesn't make sense to me is when this incident happened, your friend wasn't there all day, then why did you go over there if your friend wasn't home?

[@stratfordbaby]

He must've been driving REALLY SLOWLY to get hit if he was able to get almost all the way through before it closed on him.

[@keligsp8962]

😂🤣Wow almost did a split! He almost came up missing like the lock and chain!

[@wvrjl]

If the plaintiff would have been able to argue his case better, I think he would have won. The only reason there was a combination lock on there in the first place was for the managers own convenience. If you're going to do that, have the common sense to attach that in the chain to the gate. It's not rocket science. For that alone I think he was negligent. I also don't think 24 hours is reasonable time when you have a large gate, that could damage several cars and even hurt somebody swinging around on its own, 24 hours is not reasonable. Forget telling the tenant to go buy a lock, he should have bought a lock right away and put it on there and billed the tenant.

[@BronzedTube]

as a property owner, at least in canada, if this happened on my property i would be liable. Hence insurance coverage for these things.

[@UmohowetYelayu]

I’d disagree with this verdict. They are in charge of the building. If you are alerted that a part of your property is a risk, and then it causes damage to other people’s property, you’re liable. It doesn’t matter that you couldn’t get around to it right then. That’s your problem. If your insurance lapses on Wednesday afternoon, and you’re going to pay it on Thursday morning, but you get into an accident on Wednesday night, you’re liable. I feel it was within the Defendant’s ability to do something; he just thought he’d get around to it later. And I feel that should’ve costed him. He doesn’t even have proof that the other tenant replaced the lock as he claims. So for all we know, there never was a new lock placed there. The Defendant couldn’t even get his story straight, was constantly stumbling over his words & had the cadence of a person making it up as they go along. He had no defense whatsoever. The plaintiff didn’t do himself any favors with the letters & the story about the tenant’s sister. He should’ve just kept it to the gate damaged my car. The thing about civil court is that the judge has a lot of leeway to interpret things, and Judge Milian sometimes uses that wiggle room to avoid ruling in favor of the suing party. She’s tight with the show’s wallet, because the show actually makes the payouts. I generally like her the best of the TV judges, but moments like this seem a bit unfair.

[@UmohowetYelayu]

@Annie497 I disagree. I’d STILL argue that there is neglect on the part of the property owner because they didn’t resolve the issue with their property immediately. They can’t even agree on what happened to the lock: the plaintiff says the sister may have taken it (which is unproven hearsay & wasn’t even really considered by Judge Milian) but the Defendant says it was stolen after the tenant stepped away. The only testimony that was NOT hearsay was that it was stolen, in which case the onus wouldn’t fall on the tenant. But even if the former were true, I’d still argue that the tale about who-took-the-lock or how the lock got lost is convoluted, at best, and, to me, ultimately irrelevant. It doesn’t matter HOW the lock went missing, because the gate is publicly accessible & wildly swings, which puts others, including non-residents at risk. What really matters is that the lock went missing, and the risk factor caused by it should have been mitigated by the property owners/management. And they failed. They figured they’d get around to it when they did. Asking the tenant to replace it, but getting no guarantee that the tenant actually did so, was negligent. They have no proof that the damage was mitigated, after being alerted. And it costed the plaintiff damage to his car. I think they should’ve been responsible.

[@Lovely_1One]

I totally agree with you sir! She will look for a way to NOT have the plaintiff win their case n these certain kinds of situations but let it be anyone else and she would’ve sided with the plaintiff.

[@n1umj]

Agree and what's more, make sure the gate can only open the other way not out where cars are driving. It's not that hard to do. THen, locked or not, that won't happen.

@Annie497 If they had put in that cylinder lock in the first place rather than using some cheap chain and padlock, none of this happens!

[@kaeshalae1]

Exactly. I agree with you. The plaintiff however shot himself in the foot and the judge probably thought they’re trying to get the landlord out of more money. The fact that the defendant told the woman to go buy a lock instead of immediately going to buy a lock himself is dumb. He’s the property manager you should be able to access the property immediately. YOU buy the lock and go put it on and give everyone the code. And if you charge the tenants for it, so be it. But it’s on you

The only reason she didn’t rule in his favor is because he said he knew all of them. And knew how it was “stolen”. Obligating him to sue her. Very foolish move. He shouldn’t have said a thing nor presented that paper saying he knows how it was messed up. If I don’t know someone at all and they’re in a building I shouldn’t have to investigate who didn’t follow building rules.. that’s the landlords problem🤷🏾‍♀️take it out of their security deposit... once he was notified the manager was negligent. He should have immediately put a replacement and then charged the tenant if necessary HOWEVER, using all the facts, this ruling was fair IMO. he played himself. His friends told him to sue the landlord cause they’re not going to pay for it and could try to get more money🤷🏾‍♀️
