What is the difference in starting an action in Small Claims Court versus Superior Court of Justice?
People often ask me this question.
The primary distinction is the amount outstanding. At Small Claims the maximum you are entitled to recover is $25,000.
At the Superior Court of Justice you can claim for anything over $25,000.
Small Claims Court can be efficient and practical depending on the type of dispute you have. It can be cheaper for the client and you can expect to be at a trial very soon after serving the claim.
