Frequently Asked Questions

Can I recover my filing fee if I win?
Yes. In Canadian small claims courts, filing fees are treated as disbursements and are typically awarded to the successful party as part of the judgment. Keep your receipt.
What other costs are there beyond the filing fee?
Common additional costs include: process server fees ($50–$150), expert witness fees (if applicable), and travel expenses. All are potentially recoverable if you win.
What if I can't afford the filing fee?
Some provinces offer fee waivers for low-income claimants. In Ontario, contact the court office to inquire about fee waiver applications. Legal aid clinics may be able to assist.
