A small claims demand letter is a formal written request sent by one party (the claimant or plaintiff) to another party (the defendant), asking for payment or resolution of a dispute before filing a case in small claims court. It's often the first step in trying to settle a matter without going to court.
Claim
$1,500
A Small Claims Statement of Claim is the official document you file with the court to start a small claims lawsuit. It tells the court (and the person you're suing) what your case is about — including who you are suing, why you're suing, and how much money you’re asking for.
Defence
$1,500
A Small Claims Defence is the formal response a defendant files after being sued in small claims court. It gives the defendant a chance to dispute the plaintiff’s claim and explain why they don’t owe the money or are not responsible for the issue.
Settlement Conference
$500
A Small Claims Settlement Conference is a mandatory or optional court meeting where the parties involved in a small claims case (the plaintiff and defendant) meet to try to resolve the dispute without going to trial.
