'Fouling Up a Friendship' & 'You Have Some Nerve' & 'I Flipped Over Your Dog'

First, the plaintiff says the defendant, an old friend, brokered a car sale on his behalf but pulled a switcheroo at the last minute. He believed he was buying a 1998 Pontiac, but when he received the title, it turned out to be a 1994. The defendant refuses to return the money, so the plaintiff is suing for a refund. Then, the plaintiff says the defendant, her former landlord, abruptly told her to vacate the property without explanation. When she asked for her security deposit back, he refused. She’s suing for the return of that deposit. The defendant says the plaintiff was a messy tenant and he no longer wanted her in the unit. He claims she left behind 30 large bags of garbage and caused significant damage to the apartment. Plus, the plaintiff says he was riding his motorcycle when the defendant’s dog suddenly charged at him. He struck the dog, flipped over, and suffered cracked ribs. He says he’s lucky to be alive. The police issued the defendant a ticket for having an unleashed dog. After sending a letter requesting compensation and receiving no response, he’s now suing for damages. The defendant says the dog reacted to the sound of the motorcycle and ran toward it. He claims the plaintiff accelerated rather than slowing down, which is why the collision occurred.
