You are not using the word hypothetical correctly. Both the People's court scenario and my personal scenario are not hypothetical situations. Even if I wasn't "in the middle of this," it still wouldn't be hypothetical in my case. I can, however, still seek legal recourse, but I have learned that my interpretation of the law in both cases were correct.
I am using the word "hypothetical" correctly. See, if you are NOT directly involved in a situation and you ask questions such as yours, it is "hypothetical". It's a "What if" type of scenario. As you CAN still seek recourse, it's not hypothetical. I'm glad you had your questions answered.
