What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee
I have filed a suit in small claims court against a former girlfriend who owes me a considerable amount of money and refuses to repay it. I filed suit based on her promises to repay me when she got paid. I sent a demand letter but got no response so I filed suit in small claims court for breach of oral contract. Our case was continued at her request and the hearing was rescheduled for today however she asked for a continuance again. When the judge asked her attorney why we couldn't hear the case today her attorney stated she had a prior commitment. That commitment was playing in a golf tournament in Murfreesboro which I made sure the judge knew. Should that have been an acceptable excuse? She isn't taking this seriously and it is to me. She plays golf weekly and can afford an attorney but refuses to pay me back for the bills I paid for her.
