The limit for small claims cases is $5,000.00. If your claim is for more than that, but you decide only to ask for $5,000, you can still use the small claims court. However, if you do that you cannot later file another case (either in small claims or in the Civil Division) to collect the other part of the claim.

File your completed forms with the civil division of the Superior Court in the county where you live or where the defendant lives. You can file in person, by mail, email, or electronically (e-file). See the Filing Procedures web page for more information about filing.
