Idaho Small Claims Motion for Telephone Hearing is a process whereby parties involved in a small claim can request a hearing by telephone, instead of appearing in court. This type of hearing is available in Idaho district and magistrate courts for small claims up to $10,000. It is designed to save time and money, and provide an informal, convenient way for parties to resolve their dispute. There are two types of Idaho Small Claims Motion for Telephone Hearing: Default Judgment and Contested Hearing. In a Default Judgment, one party files a motion for a telephone hearing and the other party does not respond. The court will then typically grant the motion and enter a judgment. In a Contested Hearing, both parties appear at a hearing by telephone to present their case. The court will then make a decision based on the evidence and arguments presented.
