Judge Judy Hears a Case with Only the Defendant!

The plaintiff doesn’t show up, but Judge Judy hears the case anyway!

The Original! There’s only ONE Judge Judy. Visit our website for where to watch, weekdays.

She sued him over 30 bucks which is stupid in the first place and then she doesn't even bother to show up to court???

[keithwood]

When plaintiff didn't show up, she should have dismissed it with prejudice, preventing her from suing him again for that.

What a case. He was speaking quietly until JJ said "Don't you want to pay her $30 and be done with it?" Suddenly he woke up.

[jeffreyclinard]

Well, the defendant was sworn to tell the truth. His answers may not be what Judge Judy wanted, but he did tell the truth in the matter.

I believe this guy coined the term "over my dead body"!! 😂

[anndeecosita]

The sister in blue was like please, bro, take the deal. 😂

[patriciamurashige]

Pay her?!?! NOOOO!!😂😂😂😂so cute his answer and facial expression!!

[mattolsen]

She loaned him $60. He wouldn't pay her back so she paid $30 in court costs after which he paid her the $60. Now she wants the $30 she paid in court costs and is suing again. Hopefully the amount received for being on Judge Judy covered everything, otherwise she's going to keep filing lawsuits asking to be reimbursed for the costs of the previous lawsuit. It could go on indefinitely.

That is so rare and bizarre that the plaintiff never showed up

[anndeecosita]

This is when stubbornness about the importance of proving a point overtakes common sense, and I apply that to both parties. 😂

[jdsiv]

the plaintiff is petty as hell and didn't even show up

[KCspaintingss]

i don’t know who’s more petty him or the plaintiff 🤣🤣

[reggietjevans]

I love that Judge Judy respected his wishes but still told him he was wrong in a respectful manner. I love that he still stood his ground to prove a point 😂

[davidhill]

How can basically rule in favor of the plaintiff when they are a no-show? The right to face his accuser was denied, if she didn’t want to show up for her money, then she forfeit’s the right to the money.

[tracydee]

When the warmth and wisdom flows through the Judge. *HEART*

[sdavid]

Plaintiff didn’t bother to show and wasted not only $30, but everyone’s time. Judy should have dismissed with prejudice over this small of an amount.

[jeanaprewitt]

If the plaintiff can't be bothered to show up in court, their case is tossed. If the defendant doesn't show, they're ruled against.

Brings a new meaning to “Petty Officer”

[nathancleveland]

That's the nicest I've ever seen judge judy

[jokodihaynes]

I won't sue someone over 60 bucks to me it's petty
