What is the name of your state? California.
I was the plantiff in a case and was ruled against. The case was a simple contract matter. The relevant language goes like this:
"Person x promises to pay person y $xxx as a deposit for work done, due now.
Person x promises to pay person y $xxx for the balance due on work done, due [in the future]".
Simple.
Person x payed me (person y) the deposit, but didn't follow through on the balance. So, I sued him for it. As clear as the contract is, the judge ruled against me. In addition, she never let my two witnesses testify (one which came from 8 hours away to do so).
I intend to file a motion for reconsideration, but if any of you can shed some light on why a judge would rule against this seemingly simple case, I'd like to know.
Thanks in advance,
Skadet
