Over the next few blogs, I thought it would be worthwhile to discuss the small claims court process in Ontario. So, beginning with this blog, I thought about listing some resources I came across on the Internet dealing with small claims court in Ontario.
Remember: if you have questions about small claims court or if you want help with respect to your small claims court matter, you should make a post on Dynamic Lawyers (to get in touch with a small claims court lawyer) or Dynamic Paralegals (to get in touch with a small claims court paralegal).
So here are the resources you should look into with respect to small claims court in Ontario:
- Rules of the Small Claims Court (make sure you’re looking at the most up-to-date version!). Remember that the Rules of the Small Claims court are simply regulations made by the government under the authority of the Courts of Justice Act. There may be additional provisions in the latter which affect or impact Small Claims Court proceedings in Ontario.
- Ontario Small Claims Court Forms. Make sure that these are the most up-to-date forms!
- Before Making a Claim in Small Claims Court – Ministry of the Attorney General website.
- List of Small Claims Courts – Ministry of the Attorney General website.
- Small Claims Court Guides to Procedures – Ministry of the Attorney General website. This is a great resource and you’ll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the guides. The guides themselves cover the following topics:
- What is Small Claims Court
- After Judgment – Guide to Getting Results
- Guide to Making a Claim
- Guide to Replying to a Claim
- Guide to Serving Documents
- Guide to Motions and Clerk’s Orders
- Guide to Getting Ready for Court
- Guide to Fee Schedules
- After Judgment – Guide to Getting Results
