If the maximum u can sue in a small claims court is £10,000 then everything above is probably “large claims court” . I dont think anyone would propose a medium claims court since it doesnt seem necessary and wouldnt serve a purpose since there shouldve only been one claims court anyway, the only reason small claims court exist is so that its easier for less fortunate people AND to clear up traffick with the large claims court thats just my opinion though
It would help to do that or even to raise the "small claims" amounts (which does happen sometimes, but not enough). The problem is that it requires a law to be passed, and legislators usually don't care about adjusting old laws, only passing new ones, if they care at all. This is why many laws have absurdly low dollar amounts, like "grand theft," which in many places is as low as $200 and is rarely above $500. A delivery driver could get charged for grand theft for making off with a customer's large food order.
For anyone going through small claims, my case took 9 months from start to end. Hearing took about an hour. The pandemic has delayed many cases, _even though it's been years since._ *Something I didn't hear mentioned is that you can include the file fee in your judgment payout; making the defendant pay for your court fees if you win*
In Germany both lawyers are paid by whoever is guilty of causing the case. Usually this is the loser. So if you are in the right you lose nothing by filing a lawsuit. There is however a limit how much money can be demanded because of legal costs.
I did a small claims case against a towing company, it was less than a thousand dollars. It turns out the judge actually wrote the towing laws and when we went in he asked all of the other peope waiting for their hearings to step outside of the courtroom, asked my dad and I too step up to podium, and started asking a few questions. The towing company was notoriously owned by the local italian mob, and never signed their summons, yet we got it (we sent it to the main office of the company after a lot of digging), he then looked through the file, pulled out things he didn't think helped my case, and I was awarded 3x the cost of the tow (which was the law at the time) plus court fees. Did I ever see the money? No. After calling trying to get it a few times my dad was like "so, this is the mob and we should probably just let it go." Though I did become so knowledgable of the laws that when someone who went through something similar with a company owned by the same group had an issue the person I worked with on the txdot claim (you had to call them first) referred someone to me. So, that's how I sued and won a court case against the mob... though I never saw a dime 😂
3:39 could you do a video on (assuming this is usually possible), how small claims court can allow you to sue for money from telemarketers that illegally call people on the Do Not Call registry?
I did not do specific research, but my quick guess is this cannot be easily solved in most small claims courts. Small claim cases are more like an exact number on a paper like your rent deposit on you rental agreement, or the charge on a dealer’s receipt for repairing your car wrecked by the defendant’s fault. You’re not asking the marketing company to give you a sum of money (unless you want to seek emotional damages caused by their intentional infliction of emotional distress-highly unlikely), so I believe you should go to a normal court and seek an injunction against them, not very expensive lawyer’s fee expected.
@@tennyho3236 The TCPA provides a direct right for consumers to sue the companies for a set fine per call, so there's direct legal precedent that should simplify the process massively. At least, that's how I believe the law currently stands.
I have a small tree company. A large franchise hired us to do some tree work back in March and they have ignored me and not paid. There’s a lot more details to this project. I think I can go into small claims but I would have to reduce the money they owe me, supposedly according to a friend, I can only sue for the potential profits of the job. I think it would make a really awesome video for you.
That thing about profit is nonsensical and contradicts itself. If you can only sue for the profit you would have made, that means you eat the cost of labor/materials/travel yourself, which cuts into your profit, which means more profit you can sue for. Besides, most states allow you to sue for up to 3x what is owed.
I just realized that Mike’s videos follow the same format as drug manufacturer commercials. Those commercials always have the person moving from place to place, which is designed to keep viewers engaged.
I like that: "Actions have consequences!" (I think those consequences may be being charged with assault and battery et al!) lol LOVED the video! You are all awesome!
@@og_3rd_st_saint_gat Yeah, probably not. Defamation lawsuits require proof of _actual_ damages. You have to be able to show that you were substantially harmed in a significant way that affected you financially, or, rarely, in some other tangible way. You also have to be able to prove that the statements are both untrue and not simply an opinion. Truth is a 100% defense against defamation suits. And all that's assuming that you have proof that the person in question made the statements about you, which basically requires them to be in writing or recorded unless there are many reliable witnesses. Take the Depp case. He was able to prove that the defamation cost him several large roles. The defamation was in writing. It then took a very, very long time to prove that the statements were actually false. (Public figures have a higher bar to the opinion vs. statement question, so it's not the best example, but it's one everyone knows.) This is why Mike should probably do a video on this.
Basically, they are hard to prove. My friend's son had a girl say he diddled on her without her permission. It was on social media. The boy won largely because it was written down.
Maybe stop bein a snowflake if its small or if its serious gather proof of innocence (which shouldnt be hard if its a false accusation) and just defend yourself… your likely not going to get anything from a claim such as this for reimbursement. But the truth will eventually show especially if its 100% true it wont be that necessarily hard to prove.
i bet most attorneys wish the length to get to a criminal trial or civil lawsuit hearing was as short as small claims but there is probably legal reasons why it takes a lot of time to get to a criminal trial or to a civil case hearing
I’d like to see a video on proving a nuisance complaint against a business with live bands after quiet hours. I’ve called the police but they “can’t find their decibel meter” when they show up.
Could you please do a video on medical (dental) malpractice? Perhaps even a 'higher courts' version? I don't think I can prove it was intentional, I only have my testimony and outcome, but the dentist pried into my tooth with a drill while upset with me over a scheduling issue. It was while he was replacing a crown that he had placed a few months prior because I was experiencing sensitivity. He then billed my insurance as a "deep filling close to the nerve chamber" but wouldn't tell me what he was doing while reconstructing/restoring the tooth. I lost the tooth because it sustained traumatic injury according to dental visits from other providers. Would really like to recover some resulting dental bills but more importantly hold him accountable for what he did for such a petty reason.
I'd like to see how to take a company to small claims court for making it difficult to terminate services/subscriptions. Companies have losing revenue, but they don't need to be horrible like Vonage to keep customers and do automatic drafts from bank accounts w/o one's knowledge. Good thing the FTC had to step in.
I have an SC against my HOA for towing my car without having a properly approved regulation. Additionally, they had a service agreement signed with a towing company without Baord approval.

I’m doing everything I can to sue and get back money owed to me from a previous tenant who didn’t pay rent for six months, trashed my carpet, I had to redo the whole flooring, spent thousands to get my home back to where it was before renting to them, I want to sue him for every single dollar spent also for my lawyer fees!! He’s a real estate agent who is trying to play the law.
Well you said suggest specifics and I might have one in the future. Basically, I've been lending my sibling money with the intention of them paying me back. If they refuse... how to go about it. I have the text conversations and receipts to prove my claim. So I guess Ill look forward to the next video
Screen shot those text messages and take pictures of the receipt and save them in the cloud in case they delete them or your lose your phone or the receipt get damaged or lost. Also you should check what the maximum time in your state that you can go without filing a case from the last period you lend them money and the period you file the case(some have time periods that if you don't file a case within them you can't go to court) i spent years watching judged judy 😂🗿☕but this are genuine advices to help win the case
Unlike possessions, if someone robs you of your sleep, you can not get it back. A barking dog is considered a "nuisance," but when it prevents you from sleeping it is a form of torture.

Wow, happened to me too. A Toyota dealership here in Texas, after they did a transmission flush and exchange the car started to slip shifts and until it couldn't move, happened like three weeks later after they did that service to my car.
My moving company lost some of my items and broke other stuff. They told me one thing before the move but told me another thing after the move. Now they refuse to admit they were wrong. What do I do?
Hmm does a warranty on a car count as a contract? {does it qualify} And if my problem is a dealership in a different state not holding up their end of the warranty? {where to file} then their corporate office not upholding the warranty? {where to file} I was really hoping this would fit small claims I’m out like $1600 which is a lot of money for me only making 18/hr
Hi, I asked for a pre-owned vehicule in a well stablished dealer, I received a quote from them for it, we saw the vehicule, we like it so we accepted the quote, but then, they wrote a price much higher than the one quoted. I talked to the manager and he answered that they "won't honor that quote", as clear as that. Is that legal? Honoring an accepted quote is not mandatory in the USA?
took my neighbor to small claims in CA for a habitual batking dog. Had video evidence but this lost. Judge was not even a judge and wasold and cound Noy hear well.
Normally that would be property damage in small claims or otherwise, but if it turns into tree law, you might just wish the tree fell on _you._ Tree law is ridiculous.
I had surgery I had to give my girlfriend my gold chain is worth about $1,000 and now I can't get it back I have the receipt and should I check to see if the gold increased in price
Check what is is on the receipt and check for if it increased, with the receipt you have direct proof of ownership, you have to prove your girlfriend has the chain so make sure to text her about It and screenshot the texts, if she sold it then you can sue her for its monetary value
I wonder how much it would relieve the legal system to have “medium claim” court up to, say, $50,000? Has this ever been proposed?
