Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana
What can I do?
I spent almost 5,000 dollars last year of my tax return on some new appliances that needed upgraded not to replaced some that didn't work. My now ex boyfriend and I lived together when I bought them. He also has some furniture that was handed down to me. When I moved out it was due to us no longer getting along and when he pulled out a gun and put it to his head I knew I couldn't stay with someone like that. Anyway I have taken him to small claims court and tried to get belongings or money for them and the magistrate rewarded me $0. he stated that I didn't prove that I bought the items I had receipts and he knew I had them when the judge told us that he would mail the verdict to us and left the courtroom I asked the recorder if he wanted my receipts and she said no he didn't ask for them. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to get my case heard again and better my chances at winning.

Re: What can I do?
You can appeal the decision. You can request that the judge review the case- file a motion to reconsider and in that request that the judge hear the evidence and the fact they would not allow you to present yours. You may also elect to take it to superior court.
Re: What can I do?
Depending on the time frame you may be able to file a Motion to Correct Errors, an Appeal and/or a Motion to Set Aside. You should look at Trial Rules 59 and 60. Unfortunately, you should have submitted the receipts during the hearing not after the Magistrate left the court room. Good luck.
