NOTICE TO DEFENDANT CONCERNING SMALL CLAIMS

(Articles 119, 983 and 984)

TAKE NOTICE that if you are being sued for an amount of $ 3,000 or less and you intend to contest the action or wish to propose terms and conditions of payment, you may request that the case be referred to the Small Claims Division of the Civil Division of the Court of Québec.

To do so, you must notify in writing the clerk of the court where the declaration was filed within 10 days after it is served or, if that time is expired, before the case is inscribed for judgment by the applicant.

Please note that a referral to the Small Claims Division cannot be requested by a legal person having had more than five employees at any time in the last 12 months. A legal person having had five employees or less must file an affidavit to that effect with its request for referral.
