Judge Judy

A man records his former fiancée allegedly striking his computer with a car door as she drives away, the incident captured on video. She subsequently sues him, seeking compensation for the alleged damage to her vehicle. The dispute centres on whether the video proves her responsibility for the vehicle’s condition.

Series 21 presents a self‑contained episode that follows a single, sharply focused incident. The programme is formatted as a short, stand‑alone story, fitting neatly into the broader series without extending into a longer narrative arc. The core of the episode centres on a man who records his former fiancée as she drives away, apparently slamming his computer against a car door. The footage captures the moment she allegedly forces the device shut while the vehicle is in motion. Following this, the ex‑fiancée initiates legal action against him, claiming that his conduct has caused damage to her car. The video evidence forms a pivotal element of the storyline, providing a visual account that both parties reference. By documenting the alleged assault on the computer, the man creates a record that could influence the ensuing dispute. Meanwhile, the lawsuit she files highlights the reversal of blame, shifting the focus from the computer to the condition of her vehicle. Throughout the episode, the tension hinges on the interplay between the recorded incident and the subsequent claim for vehicle damages. The narrative remains tightly bound to these two actions – the filming of the alleged computer slam and the ex‑fiancée’s pursuit of compensation for her car – without venturing beyond the facts presented.
