Bill > AB1827

This bill, by increasing the monetary limits for claims, aims to expand the jurisdiction of small claims courts, which are designed for resolving disputes involving smaller amounts of money without the need for formal legal representation. Specifically, it raises the maximum amount a natural person can sue for in small claims court from $12,500 to $15,000, and also increases the jurisdictional limit for various other types of claims, including those related to enforcing delinquent taxes and confirming arbitration awards, to $15,000. Additionally, the bill modifies the rules regarding how many small claims cases a person can file in a calendar year, allowing individuals to file up to ten cases where the amount demanded exceeds $2,500, instead of the previous limit of two.
