Do you know what kinds of cases a small claims court usually sees?

anonymous · Answer

Small claims court is designed to be a simple way for individuals to obtain justice through the legal system without the complications of higher courts. In other words, they take the pressure off from other courts.

timaashorty · Answer

Yeah, cases like paying loans, or resolving problems such as fixing kitchens or resolving deposits.

anonymous · Answer

Yep. Small claims court is exactly that. They usually have a cutoff for certain situations such as the value of the items disputed. This allows the criminal courts, and divorce courts to focus on one issue instead of deciding who gets what, in addition to the financial side of divorce. In other words its like @IsaiahThompson said.
