Plaintiff
Small Claims Court is designed to give you a simple and inexpensive
way to settle disputes concerning money or property.
Small Claims Court has limits on the size of claim - that is, how much
money you can claim in damages or compensation in this court. These
monetary limits change from time to time. If you aren't sure whether
your claim is within these limits, please contact us for an assessment
of your claim.
Although Small Claims Court is a branch of the Superior Court of Justice,
its proceedings are much simpler, less expensive and take less time
than those in other Superior Court of Justice cases. In most cases,
for complex issues, it is best to seek representation from lawyer, paralegal
or agent acting on your behalf.
Our firm can handle your case or assist you in preparing and presenting
your case.
In a claim of this kind, the amount of money owed to you (the plaintiff)
will usually arise from a written contract or oral agreement between
you and the other party.
Examples of this kind of claim include:
- a loan that has not been repaid;
- money owed for merchandise;
- money owed because of an N.S.F. cheque;
- failure to pay rent;
- failure to pay for work done or for the services of a contractor
such as a plumber, electrician or carpenter.
In claims arising from money losses caused by the improper actions
of another person (Damages), the person making such a claim (the plaintiff)
must prove to the judge that a loss they have suffered was caused by
the actions of another person (the defendant).
Examples of this kind of claim include:
- property damage caused by faulty service, such as damaging goods
during transportation or delivery, or clothing damaged during dry
cleaning;
- the delivery of goods or services that aren't up to the standard
or quality agreed on by the seller and the buyer;
- failure to fulfill the terms of a written or oral contract;
- damage to property caused by someone else's fault or negligence;
- damages due to personal injury.
In claims regarding the return of your personal property now in the
possession of another person, the person bringing this kind of claim
to court (the plaintiff) has to prove to the judge that property now
in the possession of another person does rightfully belong to the plaintiff
and how much it is worth.
