- October 20, 2017
In episode 31 of season 22 of Judge Judy titled "Land Thief?!; Blown Stop Sign Slam?!; Fender Bender Battle!", viewers are taken on a ride through three different cases that involve varying degrees of disputes that ultimately land in front of Judge Judy.
The first case, titled "Land Thief?!", revolves around a property dispute between two erstwhile friends who purchased a piece of land in Louisiana together. The plaintiffs allege that the defendant swindled them out of $5000 by allegedly misrepresenting the size of the property they were planning to split. The plaintiffs claim that the defendant told them they were purchasing five acres of land, but upon a later survey of the property, it was revealed that they had only actually purchased 3.2 acres. The plaintiffs are seeking compensation for the difference.
In the second case, titled "Blown Stop Sign Slam?!", a woman is suing a man for damages incurred during a car accident. The woman claims that the man ran a stop sign, causing her to T-bone his car and sustain damages. The man, however, denies that he ran the stop sign and says that it was the woman who was at fault. The case ultimately boils down to who actually had the right of way at the intersection and whether or not the man actually stopped at the stop sign.
The final case, titled "Fender Bender Battle!", is a dispute between two drivers who were involved in a fender bender in a parking lot. The plaintiff claims that the defendant scraped his car with her truck and then fled the scene without leaving a note. The defendant, however, claims that she never hit the plaintiff's car and that the supposed scrape was already there before she pulled in next to it. In this case, Judge Judy takes a closer look at the evidence, which includes photographs of both vehicles and witness testimony, in order to determine who is telling the truth and who is at fault.
Throughout the episode, viewers are treated to Judge Judy's trademark no-nonsense approach to legal disputes as she listens to both sides of the story, questions the evidence presented, and ultimately makes a decision that she deems fair and just. Whether it's trying to determine the actual size of a piece of land or deciding who had the right of way at an intersection, Judge Judy's legal acumen and sharp wit are on full display in this episode, making it a must-watch for fans of the show.
