girl owes me money, refused to pay and she ended friendship..

I'm not sure what I have just read, but it's certainly not law as I have studied it.

In relation to what someone else posted, signature is irrelevant. Writing is only relevant in so far as it is evidence of a contract, but that doesn't seem to matter here as the OP almost certainly has enough evidence of an oral contract. In relation to the 'my word against hers' point, so what? It's not like judges add up how many people are on each side and call it a draw if its evenly matched. If you can show, on the balance of probabilities, that there was an oral contract, then you win.

You never heard of Civil Law?

a) The post I quoted of yours doesn't mention the phrase 'Civil Law'

c) Your claim that tort is more likely to succeed than contract seems dubious.

The case you mean is probably Jones v Padavatton.

lol so funny to see a girl do this to another girl for a change.

Didn't you know that girls get everything they want?
She says she wants money, you give her money, and don't expect anything in return.
Or you're a bad man slave.

why would gender be relevant?

yeah, i didnt think the texts where she initially agreed to come to the gig and then recently when she said she'd give me the money would count as a contract unfortunately :/ I dont think it would count as theft either although when asking friends for advice theyve said she has technically stolen from me hah. i just find it strange that someone would owe people money and instead of taking responsibility would flee..

I've sent her a message telling her that if i dont get the money by the end of the month ill be taking action against her (thought it was best to be a bit ambiguous with the wording so she isnt sure whether i mean the police or another form of action..). will let you all know what the response is. shes not getting away with this.

I'm guessing you just got dumped even though you're such a nice guy, am I right?
