A Guide to the PEI Small Claims Process: A Free Public Legal Info Session

The Law Society of PEI is offering a free public session entitled “A Guide to the PEI Small Claims Process” at the Charlottetown Library on April 20 at 6 pm.

Presented by the Office of the Prothonotary, the session will explain how PEI’s Small Claims Court works and what to expect if an individual becomes involved in a case. 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. This event was rescheduled from February due to weather. Those who had previously registered for the postponed session should re-register if they plan to attend the rescheduled session.
