Without going into major details of the case, I will try to make this short and simple.
My mother and I(I was present as a witness) just got done with a small claims case and I guess both parties technically lost. They each have to give up items or pay a judgement to the other. The issue is that during the hearing the other party (Plantiff) could not prove guilt (and yes, I know, I am not the judge) but he mentioned to my mother that she had to give back the item that she had which she never claimed she didn't have. She even told the judge that I have item X but not item Y (item Y is what the Plantiff was suing for).
When we received the judgement paper in the mail it seems as if the judge got confused and thinks my mother admitted to having item Y and says the she admits to having item Y but claims she doesn't have item X.
Basically my question is, is there a way that we can go about getting that fixed or do we have to file an appeal and start all over? I personally would rather have her file an appeal since she only got like a total of 5 minutes air time on the mic while the Plantiff got about 25 minutes which is where I think he got confused and didn't listen back to the recording of the hearing.
