| ===Small Claims Court===
| |
| The Small Claims Court has jurisdiction in civil matters where the amount in issue does not exceed $25,000 ($35,000.00 as of January 1, 2020) per party see [https://lib.riverviewlegal.ca/images/b/b2/Lock-v-Waterloo-Regional-Municipality.pdf Lock v. Waterloo (Regional Municipality), 2011 CarswellOnt 15974] exclusive of interest and costs. The monetary jurisdiction of this court is fixed by regulation, rising to the current limit from $10,000 on January 1, 2010. The majority of Small Claims Court matters are heard by deputy judges, lawyers who have been appointed for a period of three years by the Regional Senior Justice to hear such cases. As result of court reform, no new full-time judges have been appointed by the provincial government to preside in Small Claims Court. Proceedings in the Small Claims Court are governed by a codified set of rules contained in [https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/980258 O. Reg. 258/98 (as amended), the ''Rules of the Small Claims Court']', instead of the complex ''Ontario Rules of Civil Procedure''.
