(Small Claims) >AT omy Tilt) Information for the defendant (the person being sued)
"Small claims court" is a special court where claims for
$10,000 or less are decided. Individuals, including "natural
persons” and sole proprietors, may claim up to $10,000.
Corporations, partnerships, public entities, and other businesses
are limited to claims of $5,000. (See below for exceptions.*) The
process is quick and cheap. The rules are simple and informal.
You are the defendant—the person being sued. The person who is
suing you is the plaintiff.
Do I need a lawyer? You may talk to a lawyer before or after
the case. But you may not have a lawyer represent you in court
(unless this is an appeal from a small claims case).
How do | get ready for court? You don't have to file any
papers before your trial, unless you think this is the wrong court
for your case. But bring to your trial any witnesses, receipts, and
evidence that supports your case. And read “Be Prepared for Your
Trial’ at www.courts.ca.gov/smaliclaims/prepare.
What if | need an accommodation? If you have a
disability or are hearing impaired, fill out form MC-410, Request for
Accommodations. Give the form to your court clerk or the ADA/
Access Coordinator.
What if I don’t speak English well? Ask the court clerk
as soon as possible if your court has a court-provided interpreter
available and how to request one. A court-provided interpreter may
not be available. Alternatively, you may bring an adult who is not a
witness or an attorney to interpret for you or ask the court for a list
of interpreters for hire.
Where can | get the court forms | need? Go to any
courthouse or your county law library, or print forms at www.
courts.ca.gov/smaliclaims/forms.
What happens at the trial? The judge will listen to both
sides. The judge may make a decision at your trial or mail the
decision to you later.
What if | lose the case? If you lose, you may appeal. You'll
have to pay a fee. (Plaintiffs cannot appeal their own claims.)
* If you were at the trial, file form SC-140, Notice of Appeal. You
must file within 30 days after the clerk hands or mails you the
Judge's decision (judgment) on form SC-200 or form SC-130,
Notice of Entry of Judgment.
* Ifyou were not at the trial, fill out and file form SC-135, Notice of
Motion to Vacate Judgment and Declaration, to ask the judge to
cancel the judgment (decision). If the judge does not give you a
new trial, you have 10 days to appeal the decision. File form
SC-140.
For more information on appeals, see www.courts.ca.gov/
smaliclaims/appeals.
Do | have options?
Yes. If you are being sued, you can:
+ Settle your case before the trial. If you and the
plaintiff agree on how to settle the case, the plaintiff must file
form CIV-110, Request for Dismissal, with the clerk. Ask the
Small Claims Advisor for help.
Prove this is the wrong court. Send a letter to the court
before your trial explaining why you think this is the wrong court.
Ask the court to dismiss the claim. You must serve (give) a copy of
your letter (by mail or in person) to all parties. (Your letter to the
court must say you have done so.)
+ Go to the trial and try to win your case. Bring
witnesses, receipts, and any evidence you need to Prove your
case. To have the court order a witness to go to the trial, fill out
form SC-107 (Small Claims Subpoena) and have it served on
the witness.
Sue the person who is suing you. If you have a claim
against the plaintiff, and the claim is appropriate for small claims
court as described on this form, you may file Defendant's Claim
(form SC-120) and bring the claim in this action. If your claim is
for more than allowed in small claims court, you may still file it in
small claims court if you give up the amount over the small
claims value amount, or you may file a claim for the full value of
the claim in the appropriate court. If your claim is for more than
allowed in small claims court and relates to the same contract,
transaction, matter, or event that is the subject of the plaintiffs
claim, you may file your claim in the appropriate court and file a
motion to transfer the plaintiff's 's claim to that court to resolve
both matters together. You can see a description of the amounts
allowed in the paragraph above titled “Small Claims Court.”
+ Agree with the plaintiff's claim and pay the
money. Or, if you can’t pay the money now, go to your trial
and say you want to make payments.
+ Let the case "default." If you don't settle and do not go to
the trial (default), the judge may give the plaintiff what he or she
is asking for plus court costs. If this happens, the plaintiff can
legally take your money, wages, and property to pay the
judgment.
What if | need more time?
You can change the trial date if:
* You cannot go to court on the scheduled date (you will have to
pay a fee to postpone the trial), or
* You did not get served (receive this order to go to court) at least
15 days before the trial (or 20 days if you live outside the
county), or
* You need more time to get an interpreter. One postponement is
allowed, and you will not have to pay a fee to delay the trial.
Ask the Small Claims Clerk about the rules and fees for
postponing a trial. Or fill out form SC-150 (or write a letter) and
mail it to the court and to all other people listed on your court
Papers before the deadline. Enclose a check for your court fees,
unless a fee waiver was granted.
