The Prothonotary’s Office will walk participants through what Small Claims Court is and what types of disputes it handles, the monetary limit for small claims in PEI, whether a claim may or may not be worth pursuing, the key steps in a small claims case, how settlement conferences work, the role of the Prothonotary, and court fees and other potential costs. Attendees will increase their legal literacy and confidence, and better understand the small claims process.
