[@Leaveitalone1382]

It did pay tho. He got the repairs for free just as he planned

[@myfavs3530]

In the end, the plaintiff got over $2000 worth of services for free. He can use THAT to offset what he paid for NECESSARY medical care for his injuries--not all the extra therapy he got expecting a windfall settlement.

The defendants said a total of about 10 words. The plaintiff is a hustler who shot himself in the foot with his lies and exaggerations. Unfortunately, the defendants got screwed out of time and material. JJ should have given the defendants everything they ask for. The plaintiff went there for trouble, and that's what he got.

[@Callidus7SSM]

She probably would have if they’d been forced to give him the car for free by the police, or if he took if without their permission, (or if she’d awarded the plaintiff anything and making it a wash anyway) but since they agreed to just give it to him in exchange for him dropping the injury and damaged BMW nonsense they gave up any judgement in their favor.

[@JamesPerk-h3n]

@@Callidus7SSM Your right. I think the guy tried to bully his way into getting his car back without paying and they weren't giving it up, so a pushing match ensued. This guy had exaggerated his injuries so much that JJ saw through him right away.

Alot of misreading happening in the comments. The plaintiffs and defendants ENTERED into a NEW contract when both parties AGREED to the deal of : "Plaintiff gets free car repairs / Defendants do not get sued for the fight". The plaintiff bringing the lawsuit anyway BREACHES that agreement. Judge Judy is forcing him to HONOR the new contract they entered when they released to him his car REPAIRED for FREE. SHE IS CORRECT.

[@spicy1116]

This case maybe didn't exactly fit the "clean hands" doctrine, but that is where JJ pushed it.

This is the kind of case a jury might find the defendant guilty and then award only one dollar.

[@ImOnAJourney]

Exactly true!

[@Phyoomz]

It was breach of contract.

[@shendisackett]

In my view it does fit the clean hands doctrine, he admitted he made the deal with a man he knew was not the owner of the garage. If you hire somebody to do several thousand dollars worth of work with zero intention of ever paying them then that's fraud. Perhaps he will think twice next time after this little episode. I think the settlement that they had agreed out of court, which he admitted to, was fair because the son shouldn't have pushed him over or shut the car door on his leg. At the end of the day all he had were bruises, the amount of physio sessions he had for bruising was ridiculous.

[@Wayniesgirl]

This clown likely instigated the whole altercation on purpose. Then went and bruised up the area where he hit. He's an absolute HUSTLER. And the shop owners were victims. From beginning to start.

[@Phyoomz]

@@shendisackettI think "unclean" hands generally applies to illegal activity. Plaintiff's problem was that he initially had an agreement with his mechanic friend. Mechanic friend got the benefit and was supposed to fix the car, not the shop. So the shop said, since you didn't make an agreement with us and you won't pay us, you won't get your car. Then they made the mistake of assaulting him, after the assault and car damage, he made an agreement with the shop to dismiss his claims against them if they give him his fixed car. Then he sued them anyway, thereby going against their agreement. He should've sued his mechanic friend. lol
