The complaint
She says the job includes replacing the bag so the next person is not ambushed by an empty bin.
Petty Judge example verdict
Taking the rubbish out is only half the ceremony.
The rubbish went out. The new bin bag did not go in. This is where tiny domestic law gets unusually specific.
She says the job includes replacing the bag so the next person is not ambushed by an empty bin.
He says removing the full bag was the main task and deserves recognition.
Taking the rubbish out counts. Leaving the next person a bare bin does not.
She wins this one.
It is a strong Petty Judge case because both sides can claim effort, but the missing final step is the whole joke.
Person A says taking the rubbish out includes putting in a new bag. Person B says the rubbish is gone, so the chore is done.
