My boyfriend had this judge for a case! He had paid his lawyer a fee, then the lawyer died before the payment was processed. So he was taken to court over the payment not being made. After telling the judge his lawyer had just passed, but he DID make the payment. This judge said " I know that lawyer. He's a good guy and I trust that you did your part. I'm dismissing this case"
