What Is Small Claims Court?


Small Claims Court is a branch of the Ontario Court of Justice designed to resolve civil disputes involving claims of up to $50,000. The court provides a more accessible and streamlined process than higher courts while still requiring parties to follow legal procedures and deadlines.


Common Small Claims Court matters include:

  • Unpaid loans and debts
  • Breach of contract claims
  • Unpaid invoices and services
  • Property damage claims
  • Construction and renovation disputes
  • Landlord and tenant claims after tenancy has ended
  • Personal injury claims within Small Claims Court jurisdiction
  • Consumer disputes
  • Defamation claims
  • Wrongful detention of personal property


Important Limitation Period


In most cases, legal action must be commenced within two (2) years from the date the claim was discovered. Failing to start a claim within the applicable limitation period may prevent you from pursuing compensation.


If you believe you may have a claim, it is important to seek legal advice promptly to protect your rights and preserve evidence.
