How A Case Moves Through Small Claims Court
Provincial Court
This flowchart shows how a case moves through the Small Claims process.
Two parties have a dispute and one of them wants to sue the other.
Before pursuing the case, the potential Plaintiff should read Should I Sue? and Starting Your Action.
If the plaintiff decides to sue, the Plaintiff will prepare a Statement of Claim and take it to the court house for filing. A judge will sign a summons and the case will go to FIRST APPEARANCE, CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE, or TRIAL.
