What is the name of your state? Massachusetts
I recently had a small claims case. I did really well with it. To listeners I won as the Vet couldn't respond to questions with accuracy, contradicted herself and made false statements for which I had documentation to prove the Vet wrong. What was happening, my pets received compromised care because of my inability to pay the full amount same day but all was paid within their payment terms of 2 weeks or a month depending on what kind of day they were having and how high the bill was. I paid every cent on time on their terms. What killed my first pet was there for at least 1 1/2 years. He was deathly ill his last 6 months and it was found on visual exam? You see the Vet just never looked and said she did...if you heard the story you would be horrified.
Anyhow, the Vet took me to court for refusing to pay the final $25.00 when the second pet died needlessly. I have paid this Vet 1,200 dollars and have two dead pets. My counterclaim was for things I couldn't counterclaim on...I am not a lawyer and I really didn't want any money I just wanted to get the Vet to leave me alone. They harassed me for 5 months after both pets died within a short time from each other. The $25.00 got B&F charges added each month. I am also low and limited income.
The judgement reads "I do not have any right of appeal on the judgement of my counterclaim. but Uniform Small Claims Rule 8 provides that for good reason any party may file a motion within one year of this judgement with notice to the other parties requesting the Court to vacate or amend the judgement on this counterclaim". What can I do with vacate or ammend on my case?
So I want to ask the judge to ammend the judgement...does this mean I can add to my counterclaim, correct or change it? Or what can I do if ammended?
And if it is vacated does this mean I can appeal? Or what can I do if vacated?
Was this a frivolous law suit?????
