However, on June 1, 2017 this limit will increase to $35,000. Another important change is that as of June 1, 2017, with just a few exceptions, civil claims up to $5,000 will no longer be dealt with in Small Claims Court. Instead, claims up to $5,000 will be resolved in BC’s new online [http://www.clicklaw.bc.ca/resource/4300 Civil Resolution Tribunal]. The court has registries in various communities in BC. The registries and the website provide information on procedure, rules, fees, filing, and forms. | ||
