Judge Rinder.....are The Rulings Enforceable?

[ToraToraTora]

as some of you have no doubt guessed I caught some daytime TV today and I watched this Rinder bloke. Ok he seemed to talk sense and I more or less agreed with his rulings but what is to stop the losers just ignoring it?

[dannyk13]

As has been mentioned before, all costs etc are paid by the television company.

[chrissa1]

Ignore it to do, what?

/// but what is to stop the losers just ignoring it?///

Why should he? It's a win win fro both loser and winner as the TV company pays the lot.

danny/sqad has answered it thanks, chrissa not sure why you are being obtuse it's obvious what I am asking.

[Buenchico]

As has been said, the production company pays.

However to answer the actual question, 'Judge' Rinder's rulings can't be enforceable because he's not actually a judge! He's simply a barrister and, while some barristers do serve as part-time judges (called 'recorders'), he's not one of them and the place where he's working from isn't a court of law either. (That's why he only has a symbolic 'scales of justice' sign behind him, rather than the Royal Coat of Arms)

I know what you mean TTT,
he said today to a Latvian bloke I think, that he must keep up the £20.00 a week or month.

[andy-hughes]

He also uses a gavel - which UK judges don't - just U.S. ones - but it's a nice effect.

I don't know why the losers are so miserable then, if they don't have to pay !

[hc4361]

Because they have been found to be liars, or just plain wrong

[viv41]

Oh.

[chrissa1]

I don't think I've ever been obtuse in my life, TTT. I was genuinely asking why they would ignore it. Soz.

[EDDIE51]

As said if Mr X is ordered to pay £1,000 to Miss Y the TV company pay it for them. The people appearing also get a fee for being on the show. It is no more than a glorified game show.

[viv41]

Sounds like it EDDIE.

[ToraToraTora]

chrissa, at the time I did not know that the TV company pays all the money so suppose the "judge" said the loser had to pay X £5000, I was simply wondering what would stop the person in question simply ignoring that.
