Small Claims is a type of legal dispute resolution process that allows individuals and businesses to resolve disputes without the need for a full trial. It is typically used for disputes involving relatively small amounts of money, such as those involving consumer purchases, contracts, and property damage. The process is usually less formal than a traditional court trial, and the parties involved are usually not represented by attorneys. The process typically involves a hearing before a judge or magistrate, who will hear both sides of the dispute and make a decision. The decision is usually binding, and the parties involved are expected to abide by it. Small Claims is an important part of the legal system, as it allows individuals and businesses to resolve disputes quickly and inexpensively. It is also beneficial to the court system, as it reduces the burden on the courts by allowing disputes to be resolved without the need for a full trial.
