Q: I (plaintiff) lost in GS (Maury) 5/6. I have proof that def lied on stand thus she won. How to submit proof and overturn
I brought a complaint against a woman who sold me a home with a known latent material defect (roof). She lied on the Purchase Agreement saying no known defect. We had tons of evidence, but she simply lied on the stand and convinced the judge that she was innocent. I was pre se, which was a mistake. I also asked her under oath to confirm that all permits (major reno on the home) had passed final and a CO issued. She said yes, all passed with codes. I have proof now that she lied about that too, meaning she lied about disclosure C (6) about known open permits, or unpermitted work. She is in breach of contract, yet because I, in good faith after reviewing all disclosures carefully, agreed. She basically tricked me. Two undisclosed defects. But because I brought the suit, I was handed a bill for her fees for $7400 when the judge ruled in her favor. Again, she lied on the stand and he believed her. I want to know what I can do with all this evidence to overturn the judgement.

A: Hire a competent attorney to file an Appeal De Novo to Circuit Court. That is a new trial. You only have a few days to file it, so hire an attorney tomorrow. You should have never filed such a case pro se.
