⚖️ Judge McNally Calls Out Daycare's "Obscene" Late Fees | Judging Judges

A daycare center sues a struggling mom in Judge McNally's small claims court over a $200 unpaid balance. But when the judge digs into the details, he discovers the daycare is charging $10 per week in late fees per $100 of debt.

Judge McNally calls the fee structure "obscene" and cuts through the daycare's disorganized accounting to get to the truth.

The mom, who appears via Zoom from her son's doctor appointment, explains she's going through a divorce and couldn't afford childcare anymore. She admits she owes $200 and has been communicating responsibly, but just doesn't have the $200 balance.

Watch as Judge McNally's initially gruff demeanor softens when he hears her circumstances. He delivers a fair ruling: awards the daycare only $50 in late fees (instead of the hundreds they were claiming), calls out their excessive fee structure, and arranges a reasonable payment plan for the struggling mom.

This is small claims court at its best—cutting through the noise to deliver justice that's fair to everyone.
