Should I appeal a judgment in small claims court ??

You already lost in court. You were told that without the No Refund in the contract you had to refund the money. You've sold the car. What has changed that a new hearing in court would change the outcome. Nothing. Time to move on.

Q: I'm suing my landlord for breach of contract. I know I'm right and he knows it as well hence having an attorney in small claims court lol.I'm pretty knowledgeable with regards to the law and the breach is plain as day.I'm a bit intimidated at the fact that he's bringing a real estate lawyer to small claims court...
