Q: Can someone sue me or take me to court because they bought an item from me and they broke it?
My husband sold a ps4 to a guy on Facebook today. The ps5 was working fine when we left the house and we have proof. About 2 hours after we meet up with the guy he messaged my husband saying that the ps4 won’t turn on and he wants his money back. My husband assured him that it was working when we left him the house and sold it to him. He even sent him pictures of it working and ready to set up. His girlfriend is not threatening to show up at my house with her children and also threatening to show up at my husbands place of employment. What should we do?
A: Anyone can sue anyone for anything. I doubt that your husband will get sued over this but if he does he should show up at court and defend the case.
