In Ontario, the Small Claims Court is a branch of the Superior Court of Justice that handles civil disputes for money or property valued at $35,000 or less (plus interest and costs, often bringing the total impact near $50k). This venue is designed to be more efficient and less formal than higher courts, but it still requires strict adherence to procedural rules.
At Karb Law, we assist clients in drafting a compelling Plaintiff’s Claim or a robust Defence. Whether you are dealing with unpaid invoices, property damage, or a breach of a verbal agreement, we ensure your case is presented with legal precision. Navigating the “rules of the small claims” can be daunting for self-represented litigants; our goal is to provide the professional edge needed to secure a favorable judgment.
Recovering a debt up to $50,000 requires more than just proving someone owes you money; it requires a strategic approach to enforcement. Many successful plaintiffs win their case only to realize that collecting the funds is a separate legal battle.
Our firm specializes in the entire lifecycle of a civil claim—from demand letters and settlement negotiations to post-judgment enforcement measures like garnishment of wages or seizing assets. We analyze the cost-benefit ratio of your claim to ensure that pursuing the $50,000 is financially viable for you. By leveraging our experience, we help you avoid common pitfalls such as missed limitation periods or insufficient evidentiary documentation.
Civil claims under the $50,000 threshold often involve “torts,” such as negligence, nuisance, or minor personal injury claims. If a contractor failed to complete a renovation properly or a professional service caused you financial loss, you have the right to seek damages.
At Karb Law, we focus on quantifying your losses accurately. We help you gather expert opinions, repair estimates, and financial records to build a “preponderance of evidence.” We understand that for many individuals and small businesses, $50,000 is a significant sum that can impact your livelihood. We offer personalized attention to these files, ensuring that even “smaller” claims receive high-level legal scrutiny.
