Legal Process II (Farrow) - 2021 Winter

Parties are called plaintiff and defendant

  • When action is commenced by issuing of statement of claim (or notice of claim), the statement of action shall be served within 6 months (r 14.08) *different than limitation period

  • Other considerations:

    • Small claims: less than $25,000 and within the jurisdiction (CJA, s.22-23)

    • Simplified procedures (RPC, r.76): typically come up by way of action; if claim is for less than $200,000 and satisfies threshold criteria (claim is for money, real property, or personal property), → streamlined version of the full blown civil process *some critique, used to be $100k limit so now almost everything goes through simplified procedures

  • Connections to principles of proportionality
