First, understand that the Ontario small claims court system only handle cases where the value of disputed property or money is $10,000 or less. If your claim is greater than that amount, the claim may be reduced through a legal process called "abandoning the excess".

Depending on the circumstances of your specific case, we might recommend pursing legal action. However, we‘re not shy about recommending against legal action if it’s not in your best interests.

Before launching a lawsuit, it is worthwhile noting that securing a favorable court judgment should not be your main intent. The long-term objective is recovery: you take possession of the property or money in question. You might win in court but that does not necessarily mean you will walk away with the goods!
