Do you have a claim to file in conciliation court?
The Conciliation Court can accept claims for filing that are below the limit set by law. The current limit established by law is $15,000. You cannot file a claim involving title to real estate in the court.

The court cannot accept for filing a claim that exceeds the limit set by law. If you reduce your claim to the limit of conciliation court, you cannot claim more later. This rule may apply to any other claims related to the same incident. Obtaining a judgment in conciliation court may prevent you from bringing any other claims based on the same transaction or occurrence.

There is a non-refundable $78 fee to file your claim. You should consider whether the person the claim is against (the defendant) will be able to pay you the judgment you may be granted.
