He says it was paid for.
He presents a receipt.
The receipt shows $510 for installation and $100 for delivery.
Judge Judy asks if the wood was installed.
Mr. Bork states the wood was never delivered.
Mr. Overt interjects, calling the evidence "not real."
Judge Judy asks if he thinks the document is phony.
Mr. Overt believes it is.
Mr. Bork clarifies the invoice.
It shows the deposit he paid.
There was a balance for installation and delivery.
He says they did not complete those services.
He claims he had to return the wood.
He says Mr. Overt did not want the wood after firing him.
Mr. Bork states the wood was delivered to a contractor's shop for cutting.
Mr. Overt denies this.
Judge Judy's Growing Frustration
Judge Judy asks Mr. Overt what else he paid for.
Mr. Overt says that was all.
He mentions having to remedy the walls.
Judge Judy attributes this to his poor hiring choice.
She reiterates his two degrees and Mr. Bork's background.
Mr. Overt complains about chasing Mr. Bork for the money.
He claims to have "a hundred pages of text messages."
These messages show Mr. Bork's excuses about the wood.
Judge Judy again questions Mr. Overt's judgment.
She asks to see the check for $2,750.
Mr. Overt states it was an electronic payment.
He provides proof.
The payment was made to "TGH designed."
Mr. Bork identifies this as his design firm's DBA.
The Firing and the Fabricated Invoice
Mr. Overt explains why he fired Mr. Bork.
After the wood deposit, he repeatedly asked about the wood.
He claims Mr. Bork was "covering it."
Mr. Overt states Mr. Bork finally admitted he did not order the wood.
He then asked Mr. Bork to leave.
This happened around May 31.
Mr. Bork believes it was May 27.
Installation was scheduled for May 30 or 31.
Judge Judy takes a recess.
She returns and addresses Mr. Bork.
She states there is no "D-E-M-I-T-E-R design" in Lakewood, California.
She points out the name on the invoice is misspelled.
The correct spelling is "D-E-M-E-T-E-R" at the same address.
She questions why a business would print stationery with a misspelled name.
She asks why an invoice would be submitted with a misspelled name.
