TIPS FOR SMALL CLAIMS LITIGANTS CONDUCT IN THE COURTROOM

• No food, drinks or gum are allowed in the courtroom.
• Be prepared and on time. You must be present when your case is called.
• Do not ask the court staff for legal advice. The staff is not allowed to give legal advice. TRIAL PREPARATION e The scheduled date with which you are provided is the date set for your trial. You must come to court prepared to present your case. e Bring all the exhibits you might want the court to see and consider, such as written contracts, repair estimates, photos, receipts, etc. You will be required to allow the opposing party to see and read your exhibits before your case is heard. If you have exhibits that will take time to read, you should make copies and give them to the opposing party either before the trial date or on the trial date, as soon as both parties have arrived in court. e If you have any witnesses whose testimony you need to prove your case, they should come to court on your trial date. You are solely responsible for arranging the appearance of any witnesses at your trial. Remember that this is your case, and you must present the evidence for the court to consider. e As the plaintiff in the case, you are the one requesting judgment. Be ready to answer questions the judge may ask, such as: How did you arrive at the amount of the claim? e The court may keep the exhibits you present. If you need copies of your records to retain, you should make those copies before you come to court. e If you require an Interpreter for court, submit form INT-300 Request for Interpreter Civil. This is available on the Court’s website under California State Forms. DAY OF TRIAL e If your name is on the calendar, when the courtroom is unlocked please take a seat in the courtroom and remain in the courtroom until roll is taken and the oath has been administered. e When roll is taken, if you are representing someone else, please advise the clerk taking the roll of that fact, and give him or her your name and correct spelling. Be sure to notify the clerk of any change of address. e If you are assigned to a courtroom where a temporary judge will be sitting, you will be asked to stipulate, on the record, that he or she may decide your case. A temporary judge is an attorney who sits by assignment of the Fresno Superior Court, has been as attorney for at least five years, and has attended a small claims judicial officer training course. Once you stipulate, any judgment issued by the temporary judge is the same as a judgment issued by an appointed judge. FSC-24 RO6-22

e After roll is taken, if you have not already done so, give the opposing party copies of your exhibits or let the opposing party see the exhibits you plan to present to the court. The opposing party must have a chance to read the exhibits before the judge sees them. You will delay the time of your trial if you do not give these copies to the opposing party ahead of time. Keep your original exhibits until your case is called. e Cases may not be called in the order listed on the posted calendar. e Mediation is highly regarded as an excellent alternative to a trial. A Better Business Bureau representative (mediator) will be at court on the day and time of your hearing to help you resolve your case. e The mediator is specially trained and impartial, he or she does not give legal advice or make decisions. The parties involved in the dispute make the decisions and the mediator and the parties work together to identify the issues that are most important for each side and then to find practical resolutions. If a settlement cannot be reached the case goes to trial that same day and a judge will decide the outcome.

INFORMATION FOR THE SMALL CLAIMS PLAINTIFF SC-100-INFO This information sheet is written for the person who sues in the small claims court. It explains some of the rules of, and some general information about, the small claims court. It may also be helpful for the person who is sued. WHAT IS SMALL CLAIMS COURT? Small claims court is a special court where disputes are resolved quickly and inexpensively. The rules are simple and informal. The person who sues is the plaintiff. The person who is sued is the defendant. In small claims court, you may ask a lawyer for advice before you go to court, but you cannot have a lawyer in court. Your claim cannot be for more than $6,250 if you are a business or public entity or for more than $12,500 if you are a natural person (including a sole proprietor). (See below for reference to exceptions.*) If you have a claim for more than this amount, you may sue in the civil division of the trial court or you may sue in the small claims court and give up your right to the amount over the limit. You cannot, however, file more than two cases in small claims court for more than $2,500 each during a calendar year. WHO CAN FILE A CLAIM?

1. You must be at least 18 years old to file a claim. If you are not You must also appear at the small claims hearing yourself yet 18, tell the clerk.

This means that if the claim is court to appear in any of these instances. (See assigned, the buyer cannot sue in the small claims court. Authorization to Appear, form SC-109.) WHERE CAN YOU FILE YOUR CLAIM?

You must sue in the right court and location. This rule is called venue. Check the court's local rules if there is more than one court location in the county handling small claims cases. If you file your claim in the wrong court, the court will dismiss the claim unless all defendants personally appear at the hearing and agree that the claim may be heard. The right location may be any of these:

1. Where the defendant lives or where the business involved is 5. For a retail installment account or sales contract or a motor located; vehicle finance sale:
2. Where the damage or accident happened; a. Where the buyer lives;
3. Where the contract was signed or carried out; b. Where the buyer lived when the contract was entered into;

With very limited exceptions, the defendant must be served name, the court may be able to correct the name on your claim within the state of California. at the hearing or after the judgment. HOW DOES THE DEFENDANT FIND OUT ABOUT THE CLAIM?

You must make sure the defendant finds out about your lawsuit. This has to be done according to the rules or your case may be dismissed or delayed. The correct way of telling the defendant about the lawsuit is called service of process. This means giving the defendant a copy of the claim. YOU CANNOT DO THIS YOURSELF. You should read form SC-104B, What is "Proof of Service"? Here are four ways to serve the defendant:

1. Service by a law officer—You may ask the marshal or sheriff 3. Certified mail—You may ask the clerk of the court to serve to serve the defendant. A fee will be charged. the defendant by certified mail. The clerk will charge a fee.

Timing and proof of service—No matter which method of left at the defendant's business with the person in charge, OR service you choose, the defendant must be served by a certain at the defendant's home with a competent person who is at date, or the trial will be postponed. If the defendant lives in the least 18 years old. The person who receives the claim must county, service must be completed at least 15 days before the be told about its contents. Another copy must be mailed, first trial date. This period is at least 20 days if the defendant lives class postage prepaid, to the defendant at the address where outside the county. the paper was left. The service is not complete until 10 days The person who serves the defendant must sign a court after the copy is mailed. paper showing when the defendant was served. This paper is called a Proof of Service (form SC-104). It must be signed and returned to the court clerk as soon as the defendant has been served. WHAT IF THE DEFENDANT ALSO HAS A CLAIM?

Sometimes the person who was sued (the defendant) will also have a claim against the person who filed the lawsuit (the plaintiff). This claim is called the Defendant's Claim. The defendant may file this claim in the same lawsuit. This helps to resolve all of the disagreements between the parties at the same time. If the defendant decides to file the claim in the small claims court, the claim may not be for more than $6,250, or $12,500 if the defendant is a natural person (see exceptions on page 1*). If the value of the claim is more than this amount, the defendant may either give up the amount over $6,250 or $12,500 and sue in the small claims court or sue in the appropriate court for the full value of the claim. If the defendant's claim relates to the same contract, transaction, matter, or event that is the subject of your claim and exceeds the value amount for small claims court, the defendant may file the claim in the appropriate court and file a motion to transfer your claim to that court to resolve both claims together. The defendant's claim must be served on the plaintiff at least five days before the trial. If the defendant received the plaintiff's claim 10 days or less before the trial, then the claim must be served at least one day before the trial. Both claims will be heard by the court at the same time. WHAT HAPPENS AT THE TRIAL? Be sure you are on time for the trial. The small claims trial is informal. You must bring with you all witnesses, books, receipts, and other papers or things to prove your case. You may ask the witnesses to come to court voluntarily, or you may ask the clerk to issue a subpoena. A subpoena is a court order that requires the witness to go to trial. The witness has a right to charge a fee for going to the trial. If you do not have the records or papers to prove your case, you may also get a court order before the trial date requiring the papers to be brought to the trial. This order is called a Small Claims Subpoena and Declaration (form SC-107). If you settle the case before the trial, you must file a dismissal form with the clerk. The court's decision is usually mailed to you after the trial. It may also be hand delivered to you when the trial is over and after the judge has made a decision. The decision appears on a form called the Notice of Entry of Judgment (form SC-130 or SC-200). WHAT HAPPENS AFTER JUDGMENT? The court may have ordered one party to pay money to the other party. The party who wins the case and is owed the money is called the judgment creditor. The party who loses the case and owes the money is called the judgment debtor. Enforcement of the judgment is postponed until the time for appeal ends or until the appeal is decided. This means that the judgment creditor cannot collect any money or take any action until this period is over. Generally both parties may be represented by lawyers after judgment. More information about your rights after judgment is available on the back of the Notice of Entry of Judgment. The clerk may also have this information on a separate sheet.
