Small Claims Tribunals Act
Tribunals for small civil claims, and their procedureIn plain English
Not legal adviceThe Small Claims Tribunals Act sets up small claims tribunals with limited civil powers and provides for their procedure and practice. Once a claim is filed with a tribunal, proceedings on it may not be brought in another court. This does not apply to proceedings that began before the claim was filed, or where the tribunal claim is withdrawn or abandoned. A claim may not go to a tribunal if proceedings on it are pending in, or already decided by, another court.
