Claims Court

Claims Court is a specialized legal venue where people can resolve disputes involving smaller amounts of money, typically without the need for lawyers. It handles cases such as unpaid debts, property damage, or contract disputes. The process is streamlined to make it accessible and quicker than regular courts. Both parties present their cases to a judge, who then makes a decision. The monetary limits for claims vary by jurisdiction, and the focus is on fairness and efficiency rather than complex legal procedures. It's designed to help individuals resolve disputes in a straightforward manner.
