Welcome to the small claims self-help pages. If you ever need to go to court – to settle a dispute or to claim for or recover a debt up to $6000 – these pages should help you take the steps.

Remember this is information and not legal advice.

Each of the following pages has links to more information on each topic. Each page also can be printed off.

To go from page to page use the buttons on column on the left hand side of the page or the links at the bottom of each page.

A flow chart shows you the court process involved and the checklist doubles as a step-by-step guide.
