Small Claims Court Disputes

In small claims court, you can sue for money or the return of personal property valued at $35,000 or less, not including interest and costs.

​

To sue a person or business in small claims court, your lawsuit, called a claim, must fall into one of the two following categories:

Claims for money owed under an agreement, such as,

  • unpaid accounts for goods or services sold/delivered

  • unpaid loans

  • unpaid rent

  • NSF (non-sufficient funds) cheques

Claims for damages, such as,

  • property damage

  • clothes damaged by a dry cleaner

  • personal injuries

  • breach of contract

For claims exceeding $35,000, the case has to be taken to the Superior Court of Justice (“civil court”)

​
