- The plaintiff paid for the defendant's DJ services for his wedding. However, a hurricane had different ideas, and the wedding was canceled. The defendant agreed to refund the plaintiff but never did, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues cancelations must be made 30 days before the event to get a refund, and the plaintiff canceled three days prior.

Defendant specifically DOES NOT want his surname used. Within the first 5 seconds, Plaintiff immediately uses Defendant's surname.
Mr. Jay Floyd 😂😂 your names out the bag now buddy
Who cares? The show should have silenced it!
As a good business owner, I would have refunded his money and just deducted a little something for my time and efforts. Period.
best remark i have read here
He should’ve kept the 350$ and refunded the rest
Agreed!!
its a for profit business , not a charity , u would go broke with that business model .
@@marleonetti7 eheheehe, good answer, was thunking the same
I wouldn't sign that contract. A more fair resolution would be one of two things: either 1. Give plaintiff back $600 and let defendant keep $350 deposit or 2. Let defendant keep $950 and plaintiff can reschedule. $950 is a bit much for doing nothing.
The plaintiff can but he doesn't want to so that is on him not the defend
I agree! If I were the defendant, I wouldn’t want to be bothered with a reschedule. Also, there is a moral issue but apparently they made sure that their feelings stayed out of the contract. 👩🏿⚖️
Hahahahahahahaha
This contact is great for the DJ living in south Florida
How would a client know to cancel their service due to a hurricane, 30 days in advance 🤔
But they did say they paid the down payment 3 or 4 days before the hurricane hit. Right, I’m too lazy to rewatch to confirm 😂?
It’s called tough S.
His remedy is to reschedule.
Did you not listen to anything they said? They paid the remaining balance just before the hurricane, the contrast provided for ONLY rescheduling, not a refund.
He would not most people would reschedule that wedding even if they were already married still have the reception at a later date and use the DJ
That's why you don't pay the full fee before the event. He knew the hurricane was coming 2 days before he paid in full.
Then he would be the one getting sued and the dj would still win 😂
Most folks won’t work without full payment so good luck with that
@@zacharybohlman4069 Final payment comes after services are rendered. A deposit is required the event being cancelled. Non refundable. It's talked about in almost every case.
@@zacharybohlman4069 Most people pay in thirds.
Yeah honestly, as a small business owner myself, I take a deposit at the point where they decide to make the investment, and then the other half is due the day after the event, once the services have been rendered. That part didn't make sense.
If I can't get ahold of someone after a hurricane, I'm assuming their injured, dead or lost their home and dealing with that. Why would he assume the guy is ignoring him?
Exactly!!! Our power was out 3 weeks after Ian.
@chrissygoodrich1856 Yes! Omg Ian was horrible
What if the wedding went through and the dj couldn’t perform due to no power?
When I hired a DJ, the contract specified it was my responsibility to make sure that the DJ would have the power necessary to perform
Generators
Tough luck !
Would still be in court probably
Why did he pay in full before services were rendered? Usually you pay a deposit and pay the remainder the day of the event.
very good question
So he should know 90 days before the hurricane that it's going to happen?? Lol
The plaintiff signed onto that contract. As crazy as the stipulations were, he did agree to them. So the defendant is correct.
Of course not. If the plaintiff had chosen, for whatever reason 90 or more days out to cancel, he would have gotten his money back. The only thing the hurricane did was force a reschedule and would also force the defendant to supply services on the rescheduled day.
He is getting a store credit, for you simpletons.
It’s the act of god clauses that get people. Plaintiff had contracts with many other companies that refunded his deposits! The DJ must be hard up for money. 🙄
Who has any type of celebration in such circumstances? Reschedule like aaaaaanyone else would and you get your DJ.
Doug: "Good attempt, but... you failed" 😂
He has no chill 😂
@@Seraphr416 Fr! 🤣🤣
It's the laugh at the end of that statement that killed me. Love Doug 😂😂😂😂😂
Wait. Why did he give him more money if he was concerned? Why can’t he just state that only $300 was the deposit and the second payment was not?
A hurricane was on the way. Don't pay the balance.
The defendant anticipated the storm and they were gullible enough to pay him in full.
Moral of the story, don’t sign anything if You don’t like the second outcome
Doug likes his last minute snide digs...😅
My wife and I spent our honeymoon in south beach Florida during hurricane Ian. That was wild! We joke to this day that we survived a Cat 5 hurricane together and still had a blast. Lol
NEVER pay in full before the end, ALWAYS read and understand the contract...
He was betting on them not reading the contract. He did a really scummy thing and they were stupid for paying him in full before services were rendered. The fact that he wanted payment in full immediately was because he knew the wedding might be cancelled.
Did not expect that voice from the plaintiff lol
Omg me too!!! I can't believe I saw a comment about it. 😂😂😂
As a business owner myself, there often comes a point where morality should overtake "business". No way I could benefit from someone losing that much money just because my contract allows it.
Exactly, but this will come back to bite him btw the name of his business is The Islands DJ in Cape Coral.
You have a conscience, I too wouldn't do something like that to someone, not only because it's wrong, but because you may do it to the wrong someone and lose allot more than word of mouth.
@@peryole You're absolutely right.
Time to book a big party !! Cause you're both to old to remarry again 🤣🤣
Smart on the defendant to put that in his contract. They should have waited if they new possible storm coming 2 days before
Excellent plaintiff! Wish there’re more like the young lady and her co-plaintiffs. Well done!
Here's my question, if the wedding was stil on would he have came in the hurricane to DJ?
... Mr. Floyd, ... Mr. Floyd... (so much for that "You asked us to only refer to you as 'Jay'")
People need to know who he is to avoid him. I'll do the world a favor, his business name is The Islands DJ in Cape Coral Florida.
Moral of the story is thoroughly read and understand any contract before you sign it. Also Doug is ruthless lol.
If I knew a hurricane was coming in 2 days why would you pay $600. He should have just ate the $350 deposit. All in all he signed a contract and agreed to the terms, the way he smiled why the defendant read the contract showed he may not have been fully aware.
The name of this business is "The Islands DJ" in Cape Coral Florida, didn't just walk away, but run if you see the defendant. He got paid for nothing, people need to know this.
It amazes me the number of people that don’t have much common sense. I was taught at a early age the meaning of the word NO. I would have never signed the contract. Contracts are most of the time binding, unless misrepresented.
He should have only paid the deposit.
🌀 Ida's fault. Sue her.😂
I would think that being they're Floridians that they would have a more in depth conversation pertaining to the weather and how it would affect the contract. He knew they planned their wedding during hurricane season 🤷🏾♀️ I don't live in Florida but I do live in the south and we know when hurricane season is
Yeah. They did agree to reschedule in the event of inclement weather or any other emergency.
Can we as a society move on from the word basically
He couldn’t perform his DJ services without power!
All of my customers got a refund. Morals. Also you just lost all future bookings with any of theirs and bad t.v. publicity. It's not good buissness. Whether you when in court or not. You should have refused at least half.Thr judge is correct but.,......I would have refunded at least half
If I were ever looking into someone to do something and I came across something like this I’d avoid them for sure. It’s just not a good look even if he’s legally not obligated to give anything.
Why would he sign that contract 3 days before the hurricane hit? Didn’t he watch the weather reports?
A better question would be why would the defendant demand a payment in full 3 days before a hurricane? I live in South Louisiana, there's always false alarms when it comes to hurricanes. It could be headed here and disappear within hours. The defendant wanted to make sure he got paid even if he did nothing, they were just suckers to pay anything more than a deposit.
I don’t understand why they paid him in full after paying the deposit. I think the DJ wanted the rest of the money because he knew this situation would arise. Scummy IMO
The contract is clear. Just throw a party already.
I suggest they used payed services for 1st year anniversary as there is no expiration date on contract.
Geeze, take a drink every time the plaintiff says "catastrophic hurricane." Also love how he tried to emphasize "It was so bad! People died!" Ok, your fiancee didn't die. Your wedding party didn't die. You don't have to exaggerate the fact that a hurricane delayed your wedding.
Harvey looks stoned!
I'm pretty sure he was lol...that looks is unmistakable lol
He also didn't even name the right hurricane.
Never pay all upfront! Remaining should have been day of
Non-refundable deposit normally covers the fact that when you reserve, the client can't make up that time with any other customers if you cancel. In a case like this, ain't nobody going to be hiring him during a hurricane. I guess I just don't understand how somebody can make $1,000 in return for absolutely nothing. He did nothing, gave nothing, didn't have to work at all. He's not out anything because no one else was going to hire him during that time. But he gets to keep all that money for doing nothing. As a business owner or a human being, instead of throwing the contract out there, I would have been more reasonable.
Plaintiff is a nice guy but I think he might be a 🤏🏽little bit slow
The Defendant must want the plaintiff to be able to see the future!!!
So instead of just refunding the money, the defendant spent time to go to court, the headache of dealing with upset customers, and he still has to perform at a party for them. Seems like a refund would have been a lot easier and less stress for him. I guess it’s more important for some people to be contractually correct.
WHAT? The defendant broke the contract due to 'force majeur' (the hurricane) and without power he couldn't have performed any services anyway, so deposit or not, or whether it was in the contract that he had to reschedule, it wouldn't have been until the power was back on. But had the plaintiff not paid up in full, he would only have been out the deposit. At least he still has the possibility of rescheduling...
I wouldn’t have him come back!
The end part is like judge judy
Reschedule for 90 days out then cancel
I think legally the dj has the right to keep the money but morally he should have refunded it. Like maybe returned 750 of the 950 to compemsate for time he did invest unfortunate situation
In all fairness, most trips with large vendors won’t give you your money back from disasters, either. This is why you get trip insurance (I know this isn’t a trip but I’m giving an example). I’m just saying this isn’t uncommon.
Harvey, it was Hurricane Ian, N0T "Ida", as you stated.
Sometimes compassion needs to overcome greed. This was a Cat. 4 hurricane. People lost their lives. You can't predict a hurricane. It can change course at anytime. If I lived in that area and saw this episode of The Peoples Court I would never use this DJ's services and I would remember his name and warn other people that's looking for a DJ. He has displayed very bad business practices. Absolutely heartless and greedy.
Technically the dj no showed because he never responded!!!!!!! 😅
Hearing his voice is so deceptive
🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽Bro plan another party geez $950 ain’t coming home. Use his services organize a block party -free music to the neighbors and everyone puts together a dish and games Rock Out Bro🇺🇸❤️🙏🏽
Hurricane IAN Harvey, not INA/IDA or whatever you said.
He should have never called the DJ until after the hurricane and then he could have said he never showed up.
New husband out of gas.
He asked for the rest of the money knowing about the storm ⛈️ he should’ve given a portion back atleast
EXACTLY! But he also breached the contract. He was unreachable the day of the wedding, he wants to be paid for nothing, i would have set up a generator and let him play to nothing. Not being reachable the day of is a beach of contract and since he wanted to be a jerk about it I would have held him to that date, but he wouldn't answer the phone, even during a storm people still have access to communication, it's 2024 not 1994, eventually he got those messages and i doubt it was a day later than left.
Easy solution is reschedule for 4 months and cancel. According to his contract you can cancel up to 90 days before the date of the event. So trap him in his own contract. Reschedule for 4 months later then cancel before the 90s days and instant refund.
Not how that works kiddo
God bless everyone
I wanna know is. He knew a hurricane. What's coming. Why pay all the money
The defendant should have at least had to pay back the final payment and keep the deposit but to keep the full amount is bs when he did nothing
10:24 I hate when people talk like that. Dude should’ve read his contract.
Justice is about justice, not feeling bad.
I know the contract is the contract but as a good business owner I would have gave him some money back due to a hurricane
He should get $650 back atleast bcuz that's the job, $300 was the deposit & that should be the only money kept. DNT PAY UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE...
Plaintiff deserved NOTHING but to reschedule. If he's not interested then he gets to pay his balance to the Defendant and go away. The end.
So the dj wasn't going to go anyway so therefore, he didn't follow through on the contract
Ppl need to read what they sign and stop crying about it later.
I would’ve never signed that contract! How are you supposed to know when an act of GOD is supposed to happen?
Then you don’t get a do that simple
Then reschedule.
Should have rescheduled
I think the defendant should’ve just refunded him. It reflects negatively on him even if he’s legally correct.
But I also think the plaintiff should’ve just been open to rescheduling for their celebration instead since the defendant didn’t want to refund him which was his right under their contract.
I wonder if the plaintiff just didn’t want to spend the money anymore.
They still got married even tho it was a Storm....
Wow
Business is business, but come one. He is a terrible man, not refunding anything.
The DJ couldn’t perform even if he wanted to though
That's what I was thinking
All the episodes I've watched she is always on the wrong side that was his wedding $ like wtf an she went against tenants when they were in the right an she take all the wrong sides I guess that's how she got her job
How was her verdict wrong when the contract clearly states what happens in the event of inclement weather?
@@kimberlyadorno280because the defendant breached the contract, you weren't paying attention. He wants to get paid during a power outage but doesn't want to answer the phone, claiming no cell service, well if you can't be reached you're breached. I would have setup a generator and let him play into the air.
I would think he would get to keep the $350 not the whole thing.
Heartless… why don’t you just give the guy his money back at least the 650 and keep the deposit. I understand it was legal. It was in the contract, but people suck!!!
I would never use that dj
He could of taken a fee a d refund the rest. He was smirking the whole time. A d not using his whole name, not trustworthy.
The case of "It didn't happen in Florida" 😉🙈🙈🌀☔
Defendant is shady looking & unreasonable.
Looks have nothing to do with it. It’s all about the contract. Don’t sign it if you don’t like the terms.
Curious to see how Adrian twists this one 😆
he went with ole tired bs line of "Milian is racist because I wet the bed". It's beyond tired. I used to laugh at him, but it has morphed into pity. Imagine the only thing you know is how to maintain a false victimhood.
God the covid rules were sooo beyond stupid.
Why on earth would a couple want a stranger to be a DJ "Master-of-ceremony" for their wedding?
Is Doug now being beamed in from mars ?
Good effort but you failed
Good luck to you
Doug for president !!
Plaintiff is a Karen!
Most people aren’t reading contracts, unfortunately. He still could’ve asked about the refund prior to giving the balance, especially since he knew there was a good chance the hurricane would cancel things.
It kinda feels like he wanted them to pay because he knew the hurricane was coming. The contact says all money transfered
oh come on, he should get his money back
You’re either too young or too old to be getting married lol…
You sign a contract and now you are crying, get real brother.
So the judge sides with the jackass DJ.
I like douglass
the plaintiff is the typical Mid-west cheap guy. a contract is a contract. Feelings don't count cheapo.
I think he was acoustic.
This is beyond the contract. It's doing what is the right thing. The DJ is a jackass.
Are you one of those that think rules/contracts don't apply to you??😂
lol what
He should of got his money back smh.
That's not how the law works.
@@citytrees1752 obviously
Read contracts. It seems very idiotic people get free money in such cases and don't feel bad about it. But that's how lit goes
That's what so many of these TV court cases are... People who sign a contract but think it doesn't apply to them because THEIR circumstances are special.
Defendant shoulda came him the money back he didn't know the storm was coming 30 days before
Defendant booked the venue a couple days before the hurricane hit. He knew it was coming
@@BeccasaurousRex270 if u watched the video he didn't
It was hurricane season. He should’ve clarified what happens if there’s a hurricane? It was clear in the contract, but if he didn’t understand the contract, he should’ve asked more questions and then made sure it was all in writing.
I think the Judge has been watching to much Marx Brothers, A Night at the Opera.
