I. Motion To Overrule the Motion To Dismiss
The plaintiff motions to have the Motion to dismiss overruled, respectfully based off the following:
1. The case I bring to the court on behalf of my client is by no means frivolous. It has a purpose, and results in a value, that value being a sum of money that my client has not been paid for the work that they have done.
2. As per the Minimum Wage/Pay Reform Act, my client should have at least been paid 10kr per 15 minutes before they even reached discussions of CBP because they were working for the defendant for at least 24 hours. This can be seen in this ticket, Safeway Corps. - closed-0006 (tickettool.xyz)
3. At no point, your honour, have I argued or requested 450kr for my client because of a labour fee. We have requested damages of 500kr for the work done, as you can see the plaintiff created 3 different logos for the defendant. We have requested a further 500kr for the legal fees.

I thank you for your time, your honour. Regardless of your decision, it is a pleasure as always to be in your courtroom!

Good Evening,

My apologies once again for my late response; understand it is not my intention, in any way, to push this or any case for the matter to the side. Nonetheless, thank you for your patience and well-written responses.

Moving on to the case,
I have decided to overrule the Motion To Dismiss. The plaintiff, @Sparky, is now given 48 hours to present their opening statement. Here they may further provide details and insight on the story, prove additional arguments and evidence, or anything of the like.

If either party has any questions, feel free to let me know.

That is all,
Thank You

 

[Sparky]

Your honour, I would like to start off my statement with saying I do not appreciate my client being contacted outside of this courthouse by the defendant's lawyer without me being present. I do believe that is not allowed, but please do correct me if I am wrong. I will be attaching a screenshot down below of my client being contacted.

In reference to what the defendant's lawyer was contacting about, we are not charging for a quote. My client only wishes to be paid for the work they had already done. They made three different pieces for the defendant but was paid nothing despite putting work in. Having been hired for over 24 hours by the defendant to do this job, they are entitled to some payment by the defendant for the work done.

The defendant was told beforehand the price range they would be paying since their prices were listed in the server before the ticket was made. If they didn't want to pay for the work done, they shouldn't have asked for work to be done.

Thank you for your time, once again, your honour.

 

[Cooleagles2005]

Good Evening,

Firstly, I will remind all parties to be respectable to one another. To answer the plaintiff's question on whether or not it is illegal is a very iffy subject. The Obstruction of Justice Consolidation bill is the law that comes in question here unless there is a newer bill I am forgetting. Although this bill consolidates Intimidation of Opposing Counsel, a bill that does prohibit such aforementioned behaviors, it does not actually state that it is illegal for one party to blackmail, bribe, etc. another party. The bill is only in reference to Police Officers and Judges, or at least that is how I interpret it. I will take this time to suggest to Parliament, @supersuperking, to look into such.

Nonetheless, even if it were included in the bill, I do not believe the Defendant's lawyer has met such standard to be charged for such. My statement however to be respectable does still stand, both ways as well.

Finally, the Defense may not present their opening statement, they are given 48 hours to do so. Similar to my other cases, I will not be generous with extensions. If you do not meet the time frame, I will simply continue the case.

That is all,
Thank you

 

[ZeketheKaiser]

Your honor, this is a case about a business owner trying to get paid for work that was never agreed on. Clearly, as shown by the evidence, grey opened a ticket asking about a logo. Alien made no attempt to make an agreement with grey, instead they hastily scrambled together a logo. When grey was quite obviously dissatisfied with the logo, he closed the ticket as no agreement had ever been made. The plaintiff is trying to claim that the simple act of opening a ticket entitles them to a large sum of money.

Thank you, your honor.

 

[Cooleagles2005]

Good Evening,

The court recognizes both statements. the court will now be moving on to witness testimony. If either party wishes to call a witness to the stand, they are given 48 hours to name said witness(s). If a party chooses not to call a witness to the stand, they ask they say so. This is to avoid waiting a full 48 hours when we could have moved on early.

That is all,
Thank You

 

[Sparky]

We do not have any witnesses to call forward, your honour.

 

[ZeketheKaiser]

Your honor, I would like to call the defendant, darkkgrey, as a witness.

 

[Cooleagles2005]

Good Evening,

I would like to remind both parties of our witness procedures. Once the witness marks their presence in court, they will be questioned by the party which called them, in this case, the Defense. Once the direct examination has concluded, the plaintiff will be given the opportunity to cross-examine the witness if they so choose. After the cross, I will allow for one round of redirect/recross if either party feels necessary. I will explain those later if need be.

With all that being said,

@darkkgrey is required to appear in court for witness testimony. They are given 48 hours to mark their presence in the court; in other words, they must respond to the thread with a simple "present." Once they have responded, the Defense may begin their direct examination.

that is all,
Thank you

Present

 

[Cooleagles2005]

Good Evening,

The Defense may begin whenever they please. The court does ask that they try to put all their questions in one post if possible, follow-up questions are of course allowed. Additionally, for any objections, they will be heard but the ruling will be very strict to ensure the best ruling and precedent is made.

That is all,
Thank You

Hello darkkgrey

1. At any point were you told a price?

2. At any point, was there an attempt to negotiate or come to an agreement on the price?

Your honor, I would also like to enter into evidence the details of the private messages between the plaintiff and the defendant where the defendant tries to coerce my client to pay the 450kr and give up the rights to use the logo.

 

[darkkgrey]

1. Prices were never negotiated neither in the ticket nor in private messages. I had already saved the price form into a google doc for future reference, assuming that the product would be better quality. A final price was never discussed or decided in the time that the ticket was open.

2. There was never any moment that the Plaintiff had attempted to negotiate a price. The Plaintiff had told me after the ticket was closed that I had to pay 450kr and that I had no rights to any of the products. I never agreed to that, as I shouldn't be paying for something that I'm not allowed to use.

I would also like to say, if allowed, that 750-1500kr is not a reasonable price for the quality of the product. I opened the ticket expecting better quality logos, and when I had not received what I asked for, I did not wish to support the company any further.

 

[ZeketheKaiser]

Your honor, I have no further questions. Thank you.

 

[Cooleagles2005]

Good Evening,

The Plaintiff may now cross-examine the witness if they so choose. If they choose not to, the court asks them to speak up, so we can proceed with the rest of the trial.

That is all,
Thank You

 

[Sparky]

Good evening, darkkgrey.

My first question is: Do you agree that you saw a price sheet before opening a ticket which shows the range of prices?

My second question is: Would you also agree that you specifically asked to see more designs after having seen the first one, causing Alien to spend more time on their work which would have also raised the cost of the work?

My final question is: Do you agree that you closed the ticket without warning Alien, preventing them from finalizing a price after their work was done?
