Small Claims Court Explained
The small claims court is essentially a simplified court procedure that is designed to resolve smaller cases in an easy and efficient manner. For a case to be eligible for the small claims court, the financial value of the claim in question cannot be more than £10,000.
Typically, the small claims court is there to resolve low-scale disputes between people, organisations or both. Some of the issues that can be resolved in a small claims court include:
- Low value/straightforward disputes between private landlords and tenants
- Unpaid bills, fines, loans or debts
- Mis-sold goods
- A refusal to fulfil a warranty (e.g. in respect of a vehicle, or household goods)
- Contractual disputes
- Housing disrepair
