Small claims courts
Small claims courts are simplified legal venues designed to resolve disputes involving relatively minor amounts of money efficiently and informally. They handle cases such as unpaid debts, property damage, or service disputes, typically with simplified procedures, limited legal formalities, and faster resolutions. These courts allow individuals to represent themselves without needing a lawyer, making access to justice more straightforward and cost-effective. The goal is to settle disputes quickly and fairly without the expense and complexity of full-scale litigation.
