BERLIN - A German woman won a lawsuit against a “love witch” who failed to induce her ex-boyfriend to come back with rituals under the full moon designed to cast a spell over him, a Munich court said Monday.
| "She jumped down and turned around and gave me a wink..." |
“The witch lost,” said Munich district court spokeswoman Ingrid Kaps. The ‘love witch’ was ordered to return her 1,000 euro ($1,300) fee and pay “several hundred euros” in costs.
| "It smelled like turpentine and looked like India ink!" |
“The plaintiff was in despair after her boyfriend left and tried to get him to return with help from a woman who calls herself a ‘love witch’,” she added. “The court has ruled it was a service that was ‘objectively impossible’ to render.”
| "I didn't know if it was day or night!" |
The witch disputed the plaintiffÂ’s claim of a money-back guarantee, Kaps said. The witch, described as an elderly woman, also lost an appeal. The spokeswoman declined to give the names or ages of those involved.
| "I started kissing everything in sight!" |
“A love ritual is not suited to influence a person from long distance,” the court said.
| "But when I kissed a cop down at 34th and Vine..." |
“As the promised service could not be rendered, the plaintiff is not obligated to pay.”
| "He broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number 9!" |
