   Memorandum Opinion

The plaintiff, L & R Rentals, sued the defendant, Matthew Judge, for money due on a contract to rent a motor vehicle. The dispute was whether the $5.50 insurance charge was a flat fee, as the defendant claimed, or a daily fee, as the plaintiff alleged. After a trial before Paútelas, J., judgment was rendered for the plaintiff, and the defendant appealed.
