If you need to recover money or personal property valued at $35,000 or less, Small Claims Court is the appropriate venue to resolve your dispute. For claims exceeding $35,000, the case must be filed in the Superior Court of Justice, unless you choose to waive the amount exceeding $35,000.

Types of Claims You Can File

Claims for Money Owed:

• Payment for goods or services sold and delivered.
• Recovery of outstanding loans.
• Unpaid rent.
• NSF (non-sufficient funds) cheques.

Claims for Damages:

• Compensation for property damage.
• Personal injury claims.
• Breach of contract disputes.
• Claims for damaged items (e.g., clothing ruined by a dry cleaner).

Let Edge Paralegal Services guide you through the Small Claims Court process with expertise and dedication.

What to Do if You Receive a Statement of Claim

- Never Ignore a Statement of Claim

Failing to respond can result in the plaintiff winning by default, even if the claims are unfounded. Responding ensures you have the opportunity to challenge and defend yourself in court.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In most cases, you have two years from the date the incident occurred or when you became aware of it. This is called the limitation period.
