Find your Small Claims Court.

Small Claims Court is one court, a branch of the Superior Court of Justice (Courts of Justice Act s. 22), that sits in every region of Ontario. You start your action where the cause of action arose, where a defendant lives or does business, or at the sitting place nearest to a defendant (rule 6.01). Pick the city; the page has the address, the portal, the fees, and the deadlines.
