Syllabus

Small claims action; breach of contract; unjust enrichment; conversion; manifest-weight review; cross-appeal; App.R. 3. Affirmed. The trial court adopted the magistrate's general verdict following a bench trial, in which the plaintiff was awarded $1,200 dollars on her claims generally based on breach of contract, unjust enrichment, or conversion. That verdict is not against the weight of the evidence merely because the judgment was for less than the $6,000 sought. And finally, because the appellee did not file a cross-appeal, the judgment in favor of the appellant cannot be challenged in this appeal.
