Small Claims Court
What is Small Claims Court?
The Small Claims Court is a branch of the Superior Court of Justice and manages nearly half of all civil claims in the province of Ontario. You may claim a maximum monetary amount of up to $35,000. This Court provides an efficient and cost-effective forum for Ontarians to initiate and defend one’s case. You may wish to consider this court even if you have a claim that is greater than $35,000.00 if you are willing to waive the excess amount to avoid costly litigation.
Common Claims Include:
- Breach of contract
- Goods or services sold and delivered but weren’t paid for
- Unpaid loans or debts
- Unpaid residential or commercial rent
- NSF (non-sufficient funds) cheques
- Property damage
- Personal injuries
