When I can sue someone in small claim court in Canada?

And what is the Canadian dollar amount limit?

If you feel you have given the company enough time and that your problem has not been resolved, send a copy of your complaint letter and copies of supporting documents (not originals) to, or file a consumer complaint with, your provincial or territorial consumer affairs office or Better Business Bureau. If you use the Complaint Courier (Canadian Consumer Information Gateway - Complaint Courier) it will give you the option to automatically forward your complaint to the appropriate government office.

Small Claims Court in Canada

Small claims court can be an informal and relatively inexpensive way to resolve disputes when the amount involved is less than $3,000 or, in some provinces, up to $25,000. However, you will have to pay a fee to file a claim. Once the suit is launched, you may have costs for such things as serving orders, payments to witnesses and travel expenses.

You do not need a lawyer to go to small claims court, although in most provinces and territories the help of a lawyer is allowed. The court staff is experienced in helping consumers prepare the necessary forms, and the judges have the power to settle disputes. This court allows each side to explain its story and does not expect consumers to know legal technicalities.

For information on how to proceed, contact the small claims or provincial or territorial court nearest you (look in the government listings in your phone book). The websites of these courts also often list the procedures to follow and have copies of the forms you will need to complete.

Hi,
I have a motor home parked in my back drive way...
My neighbor across the lane moved his truck away..
When i came out my Rv was all smashed
I called the police and the neighbor came out He denied he did it...
The police said there is nothing they can do with out a witness.....
I have absalutely no prrof he did it....
can i sue him in small claims court?
What are chances i would win...

Yes you can--but have some evidence. His truck should have some marks that would show he hit you. Ask the police to review it or if need be have the car reviewed during discovery for your case.

his truck has no damage what soever...
