The [http://canlii.ca/t/8lld Supreme Court Civil Rules] and | The [http://canlii.ca/t/8lld Supreme Court Civil Rules] and [http://canlii.ca/t/8571|Small Claims Rules] impose special restrictions on how a court case can be brought against or by a minor. | ||
In general, the minor must bring or defend an action through an adult (usually a parent) appointed as a litigation guardian. According to Supreme Court Rule 20-2(2), the minor cannot bring the action alone. Small Claims Rule 17(18) makes Supreme Court Rule 20-2(2) applicable to proceedings in Small Claims Court. When someone brings an action against a minor in either court, the court papers are served on a parent or guardian, rather than the minor. | In general, the minor must bring or defend an action through an adult (usually a parent) appointed as a litigation guardian.
