if i let a friend borrow some drum equipment and he is refusing to give the equipment back, can i take him to court for the return of my property or monetary payment for the value of the equipment and what are they chances of getting my property back if i have evidence????
Yes, you can file what's called a Warrant in Detinue in your
local general district court for the return of your
personal property, or, if it cannot be returned for whatever reason, request
that a judgment be entered against the wrongful withholder(defendant)
for its fair market value.
The clerk's office will have the paperwork that you need to fill out to
file your case.
