First, the plaintiff, a former professional tennis player, went to the defendant, an orthopedist, for foot pain. The defendant ordered him special inserts, which only caused the plaintiff more pain.

The defendant says he told the plaintiff there were no guarantees when it comes to orthotics, and he only heard from the plaintiff a month later about any problems.
Plus, the plaintiff is a party promoter who booked the defendant’s banquet hall for an event. After the plaintiff had already printed fliers, sold tickets, and spent money planning the event, the defendant canceled on him. He is suing her to get the money back that he lost. The defendant says she canceled because the plaintiff wouldn’t comply with venue rules and that she’s actually the one who is owed money for the rental space. She is countersuing for harassment and lost revenue due to a last-minute cancellation.
The plaintiff says he was hired by the defendant to sail his boat from Santa Cruz to Los Angeles, and he made all the preparations to do so, including hiring a shipmate to help him. The defendant failed to pay him in advance as was agreed upon, so he’s suing. The defendant says the plaintiff appeared to not know what he was doing and even left to do a different job. He was in over his head, and the defendant doesn’t owe him anything.
