Court RP identifies the right small claims form for your province (e.g. Ontario Form 7A, BC Notice of Claim), explains each section, and links you to the official court document.
Contracts, receipts, photos, text messages — Court RP walks you through what evidence to gather, how to label it, and how to present it clearly to the judge.
Our courtroom simulation lets you practise your opening statement, respond to the defendant, and handle the judge's questions — before you walk into the actual courtroom.
The limit varies by province: Ontario up to $35,000, British Columbia up to $35,000, Alberta up to $50,000, Quebec up to $15,000, and other provinces between $20,000 and $35,000. Court RP shows you the limit for your province automatically.
No. Small claims court is specifically designed for self-represented litigants. Lawyers are sometimes restricted from appearing in small claims. Court RP gives you all the tools you need to prepare and present your case yourself.
From filing to hearing, small claims cases typically take 3 to 12 months depending on the province and court backlog. Court RP helps you stay organized so nothing falls through the cracks.
Common small claims cases include unpaid debts, contractor disputes, security deposit disputes, damage to property, vehicle accidents, and consumer product disputes — as long as the amount is within your province's monetary limit.
