Small Claims

Just helped a friend during a settlement conference for a small claims case. From the time we got there to the time we left, with a settlement to the matter, was an hour and a half in total. It went smoothly, but in this case all parties were willing to listen to one another and respect each others case and where they were coming from. Simply put we met somewhere in the middle and I can say that this was by far the smoothest case I have been involved with. Credit should go to all parties including the JP and the clerks. It was a job well done and a shining example of how the courts and the system are supposed to work. Even had a settlement not been reached, this case would still be an example of a success on how the courts and the system were intended to work.
