Why Uxbridge files there

Small Claims Court venue runs by territorial division, not by city. A territorial division is a county, a district, or a regional municipality, plus nine single-tier cities such as Toronto, Ottawa, and Hamilton (rule 1.02(1)).

Uxbridge is a lower-tier municipality inside the Regional Municipality of Durham (O. Reg. 180/03, Schedule 1). The court sits at Oshawa for the whole division, so a Uxbridge claim is filed there.

Rule 6.01 lets you start the action in the territorial division where the cause of action arose, or where a defendant lives or carries on business, or at the court's place of sitting nearest to a defendant. One of those tests must fit this location.

Reg. 258/98, r. 6.01(1)). If the money is owed to you in Uxbridge and the defendant is also in Durham, Oshawa is the court.
