Good morning all,
This is a bit of a long one, sorry.
An ex friend has taken me to small claims court,
1. for a laptop that she gifted me in 2013 (no longer works) but is now arguing she only lent me it. It was her brothers originally and he gave it to my friend, she had one already so said she didn't need it and as I was studying she thought it would be useful for me.
2.For some medical text books, she did loan me these and the were 2nd hand from the hospital library she worked at many years ago. Unfortunately I have moved twice and I'm unable to find them.
The court hearing is a telephone appointment next week and I've just received her evidence by post. I part defended the claim and asked for proof of purchase of the books /laptop.
She's basically asking for £699 for a laptop that's approx 16 years old and £420 for the text books.
Her apparent evidence is just a print out of books she's looked up on Amazon and claimed that she lent me, not showing they were ordered /delivered etc. Same with the laptop, just a print out of the make and model laptop and a price on Amazon.
The amounts have also changed, on the original claim form, she asked for £995 for laptop and £250 for books.
I guess what I'm trying to ask is will the judge allow this evidence? As it doesnt proove anything except she looked up some books for prices and a laptop.
I hope this makes sense
I'd appreciate any help, thank you
