Small Claims Court changes starting January 2010

Written on May 7, 2010

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.

  3. Serving Notices of Examination – must be served by personal or alternative to personal service.  You may no longer mail the Notice of Examination to the debtor.

For more information pertaining to Small Claims Court Matters may we suggest you visit the Ministry of the Attorney General’s website and review some of the publications available, such as “Before Making a Claim in Small Claims Court” or “Small Claims Court Guides to Procedures”.
