What would you do in this case. I saw this today on Judge Faith. 2 guys that work in radio at different radio stations got into an agreement for this one guy to do his daughters wedding. The wedding was for 4 hours and the agreed upon price that DJ was to get paid was $400. He showed up to do the wedding and after 3 hours most of the people were gone. So the DJ asked his friend if it was OK if it was for him to leave since not many people were left. He said OK but had to get a sound man to finish the job and pay him.
The DJ was there because he still wanted to get paid the $100 due to him even though he left early. The judge ruled in his favor because the client didn't put that part in writing and initial it. So the DJ got the $100. What do you say about this and how would you have handled this situation?
Myself I have it in writing in my contract that the balance is to be paid by a certain date and if it is to be paid the day of it's due in cash prior to setup of the equipment. Personally I would have gotten all my money and once that happened I could care less if just 2 people were left there. I'm already paid in full, so I would stay the contracted time. I was curious why most of the people left after 3 hours and the reception was for 4 hours. That never was discussed.
