Help! angry ex boyfriend wants to sue

my ex boyfriend bought me a camera for valentines day. since then we have broken up and now he wants me to give the camera back to him. I have a police report stating that he told the officer it was a gift and i have all the original things it came with such as the gift bag and the card that came with it. I never said or signed anything that said i owe him money for the camera or i owe him the camera back. if he takes me to court, will he have a leg to stand on? I need some advice as to what I should do!

Re: Help! angry ex boyfriend wants to sue

A gift is exactly that. Once you give a person an unconditional gift, it becomes the property of that person.

If he admitted to the police it's a gift and he sues you, you need to obtain a certified copy to present to the court as evidence. Also, if he told others that it was gift, you should bring them as witnesses. Based on the facts as you present them, it is likely that you will be successful if he decides to sue you.
