No. Small Claims Court is specifically designed to be accessible to self-represented people. Many people successfully file and win their cases without a lawyer. Our kit makes it even easier.
In Ontario, Small Claims Court handles claims up to $50,000 (not including interest and court costs). If your claim is larger, you'd need to go to Superior Court.
Filing fees are $102 for claims under $500, and $220 for claims over $500. You'll also need to pay for serving the defendant ($50-100 typically). If you win, you can ask the court to order the defendant to pay these costs.
After filing, it typically takes 3-6 months to get to a settlement conference, and 6-12 months if you go to trial. Many cases settle before trial.
If the defendant doesn't file a defence within 20 days of being served, you can request a default judgment. Our kit includes instructions for this process.
