At Gujral Law Office, we work routinely with individuals who live in the area of Mississauga, Ontario, and would like to open a civil lawsuit against someone in small claims court. We can help. If you think someone has broken the rules of a contract or owes you money for other claims or damages, it may be beneficial to file a small claims lawsuit. When using a right lawyer, for the process, it can be easier and less stressful knowing that all parts of the case are handled by an experienced professional.
In Canada, a small claims suit must be under $35,000, otherwise, it needs to be filed with the Superior Court. The only exception is lawsuits where individuals are willing to waive the amount over $35,000 even if they are owed more. These cases can be filed in small claims, but the compensation amount cannot be over $35,000. Additionally, there is a timeframe for filing a suit. Individuals need to file a lawsuit within two years of when the problem was discovered or acknowledged.
Before reaching out to a lawyer, many individuals try to handle the issue themselves before dragging the other party into the courtroom. Sometimes a mediator can help resolve the issue, or a demand letter can help state the problem and expected compensation.

If you need help navigating the legal system to get fair compensation for your concerns, call the office at (647) 957-8077 to schedule an appointment.
