Anthony v. McLaughlin, 566 S.W.3d 581 (Ky. Ct. App. 2018). “As noted above, the forcible detainer court is a court of limited jurisdiction. As such, it only has the authority to order restitution of the premises and payment of costs expended by the prevailing party.”
Cochran v. Folger, 740 F. Supp. 2d 923 (E.D. Ky. 2010). “However, the Williams confiscated not only the guns, but personal items, keepsakes, and a substantial amount of metal and valuable tools from Cochran's garage. The claimed value of these items, while not verified, substantially exceeds the debt allegedly owed to the Williams.”
