Facts of the Case
Background
Plaintiff claimed defendant owed him US$2500 and refused to return his Mercedes Benz E300, alleging it was given as security for a loan. Defendant counterclaimed, asserting they entered into a "swop and top" agreement where plaintiff would exchange his E300 plus US$10,000 and a stand worth US$5000 for defendant's GL320. The court found defendant's version more credible.
