Small Claims Monetary Limit

Home / FAQs / Small Claims Monetary Limit

Is there a monetary limit for small claims court cases?

“In Ontario, the small claims court money limit is currently $35,000, which is the maximum claim amount the court will consider. This small claims financial limit ensures that cases remain faster, simpler, and more affordable to resolve.

If someone needs to claim more than this amount, the case must be filed in the Superior Court of Justice, which involves a more complex legal process. Working with a paralegal small claims court professional helps individuals understand these limits, avoid filing errors, and choose the correct court for their dispute.”
