Small Claims Court

What Is Small Claims Court in Saskatchewan?

Small Claims Court is a branch of the Provincial Court of Saskatchewan designed to resolve civil disputes quickly, affordably, and with less formality than higher courts. It handles claims up to $50,000, making it the primary venue for everyday disputes involving money, services, employment issues, and contracts. Although the process is meant to be accessible, preparing strong evidence and presenting a clear legal argument significantly increases your chances of success.

⭐ How the Small Claims Court Process Works in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan’s Small Claims Court process includes several key steps:

1. Filing the Claim

The claimant files a Claim Form, pays the filing fee, and provides supporting facts and documents. The claim must be properly served on the defendant.

2. Defendant’s Reply

The defendant has a set period (usually 30 days) to file a Reply, admitting or disputing the claim.

3. Pre-Trial Settlement Conference

Most matters proceed to a Settlement Conference before a Justice. This is an informal meeting designed to:

  • Clarify the issues

  • Review evidence

  • Explore settlement options

  • Decide whether the matter goes to trial

Many cases resolve at this stage.

4. Trial

If no settlement is reached, the matter proceeds to a Trial, where both parties present evidence and testimony. The Justice makes a binding decision.

5. Judgment Enforcement

If the claimant wins, additional steps may be required to collect payment, including:

  • Wage garnishment

  • Seizure of property

  • Payment hearings

We guide you through the enforcement process as well.
