Contracts — cab leases

Joe Sanfelippo Cabs, Inc. (“Sanfelippo”) appeals the judgment awarding Gurjapbir Kahlon, an independent contractor who leased one of its cabs, $1934.69 ($1500 from a security deposit that Kahlon paid for use of the cab, and $434.69 from Kahlon’s earnings from his final week of driving the cab). Sanfelippo argues that the trial court erred in awarding Kahlon the $1500 security deposit because Kahlon broke the terms of the lease agreement he had with the company. Sanfelippo additionally argues that the trial court erred in awarding Kahlon $434.69 because the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to prove that Kahlon earned this amount during his final week driving its cab. This court disagrees and affirms. This opinion will not be published.
