![]() You should try to settle disputes without involving the courts. And even if you start a lawsuit, you don't have to go to all the way to trial; you can usually settle out of court at any time. Trials are time consuming and expensive, and the results are never certain. The procedure you follow depends on the court which will hear your case. Many disputes arise in which less than $25,000 is claimed; in these situations, you should consider small claim court. This may be ideal for small ICBC disputes, debt owing, landlord and tenant disputes, or faulty consumer products.
For more complex matters or where the amount involved is more than $25,000, you must sue in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. This court has jurisdiction to consider almost all kinds of disputes arising in British Columbia. |
