Good evening,

As I am a manager at Tesla, there may be a possibility of bias. Therefore, I recuse myself from this case, and as there are no other judges, a magistrate in tempore will be elected.

That is all,
Thank you.

Court Verdict
​

Plaintiff's Position
The Plaintiff is claiming that the defendant breached Tesla's Terms of Service by not returning a rented submarine within the proper allotted time. By not returning the submarine, the defendant violated the terms of service.

Opinion of the Court
It is the opinion of the court that the plaintiff indeed did violate the rental agreement. However, there is no evidence suggested that the submarine was sold to _evachu_ therefore the Court will dismiss that specific claim. I am against granting the claim of overdue time of rent as it is the responsibility of the plaintiff to attempt to take legal action to retrieve the rental submarine but instead waited nearly a year to file any sort of claim. The court will grant the plaintiff the following damages, retrieval of the submarine, 200kr in legal fees, and 1000kr for lost of potential business for the time the submarine was lost. The 1000kr for overdue time of rent and 500kr for violating the Terms of Service will not be granted as the terms "Additional Costs/expenses" are vague and do not specify. The terms could be argued in bad faith to claim any amount of damages for violating the agreement. Agreements should specify what happens when they are violated.

Court’s Ruling
The Court rules in favor of the plaintiff.

I hereby order the Minister of Justice @Pearot to ensure that 1200kr are taken from walkingpanda111 and given to Nightmare98765. Additionally, ensure that the Submarine be retrieved from walkingpanda111 and returned to Nightmare98765. If the submarine is unable to be retrieved, the court orders that 2250kr are to be taken from walkingpanda111 and given to Nightmare98765 as compensation for the submarine.
The Department of Justice is granted permission to perform asset seizure to compensate for the damages if the defendant does not have sufficient balance.

It is so ordered.
