Small Claims Court, sometimes also called the Conciliation Court or Small Claims Tribunal, is a legal process designed to resolve minor disputes between individuals or small businesses. In some countries, this process can also be referred to as Magistrates' Court, Minor Judiciary Court, or People's Court. Another synonym for Small Claims Court is the Small Claims Division, which is a division of a larger court system that primarily deals with minor claims. In some states, it may also be known as the Small Claims Session or District Court. Regardless of the name, Small Claims Court is intended to provide a quick, affordable, and simple way for individuals to settle disputes with limited time and expense.
