The plaintiff, a patron of an adult entertainment club, transferred $13,425 to the defendant, a dancer at the club, over five separate deposits.
The plaintiff claimed the transfers were loans, while the defendant argued they were gifts.
The court applied the principle that money transferred between romantic partners is presumed to be a loan, placing the burden on the recipient to prove it was a gift.
Finding that the defendant failed to meet this burden, the court concluded the transfers were loans and ordered the defendant to repay the full amount.
