Here is a highlight of a few of the Small Claims Court changes made by Ontario Small Claims Court effective January 1, 2010.

1. Increase from $10,000.00 to $25,000.00 for the monetary limit to bring a claim in Small Claims Court.
   
   
2. Serving Plaintiff’s Claims – must be served by personal or alternative to personal service.  You may no longer mail the claim to the defendant unless you obtain the signature of the defendant (ie. Through registered mail or courier).  Personal service through a process server is always the best way to get the attention of your defendant.
