She sues her boyfriend because he didn't take her to the airport.

Frustrated about missing her flight, a New Zealand woman takes her boyfriend to court after he fails to drive her to the airport.

An argument turns sour. A New Zealand woman is suing her boyfriend for breach of “verbal contract” after he refused to take her to the airport, forcing her to miss her flight, the New Zealand Daily reported. New Zealand HeraldToday, Thursday, June 20.

according to prescription From the court, published the same day, the man agreed to drive the young woman to the airport in the morning, so she could attend a concert with friends. The couple also agreed that he would stay at her house to look after her two dogs in her absence.

The disputes court has seized

Despite being married for six years, the man was supposed to come to his girlfriend’s house around 10am but never showed up. As a result, the New Zealander decided to take the matter to the Dispute Tribunal, claiming that the verbal agreement between her and her partner actually constituted a legally binding agreement on the part of her now ex-boyfriend.

Because of the latter, the woman said she incurred several unexpected expenses, including the cost of a new plane ticket, airport transportation and putting her dogs in a kennel.

However, the plaintiff's request was rejected. Judge Krissia Cowie said that for an agreement to be enforceable, there must be an intent to create a legally binding contract.

No contract

The judge found that the nature of the promise made here was “exchanged in the course of an ordinary exchange in an intimate relationship” and that “there was no indication of any intent between the parties.”

“Even if the promise was made, it is far from being a contract. It is part of everyday family agreements and family relationships that cannot be enforced in a court of law,” the judge said.

“Partners, friends and colleagues enter into social arrangements, but they are unlikely to be legally enforceable unless both parties do something to demonstrate their intention to abide by their promises,” she added.
