Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff, an unregistered money lender, claimed repayment of US$4,296 allegedly loaned to the defendant in May 2011. The defendant denied borrowing this amount, claiming she only borrowed US$300 which she repaid. The court found the defendant's evidence contradictory and unreliable, accepting the plaintiff's version on a balance of probabilities.
