The justice system (small claims court) DOES work just like this jaydee. No judges like Ben in the real world (or small claims court would have a backlog of millennia). Here's how it would go in court (no lawyers most likely)

Michael Muck vs. Liquidrulez...you may be seated

judge: plaintiff could you tell me what happened quickly?

MM: I made arrangements to buy an item online. It was agreed that I would pay $45 up front and the remaning $45 when it was delivered. I never got my stuff after several months and I want my money back.

Judge: OK LR what's your side?

LR: I have composed a summary that I am going to pass to you in private summarizing my dealings with this guy, judge. It isn't for public consumption though.

Judge: Unacceptable. Did you ship the item?

LR: Of course I did

Judge: Where's the receipt and tracking info and proof?

LR: umm I don't have any

Judge: Judgement for the plaintiff for $45 next case.
