A guide to small claims court
Amer Mushtaq is a Toronto-based lawyer with nearly a decade of legal
experience has an on-line course on understanding how to file and argue
your small claims applications. The price is $199.
It should be of help to someone who
doesn't understand the system and has been served or wants to start
their own small claims action.
However, if an owner is involved in a dispute with a condo board, I
would urge you to pay for at least one consultation with a lawyer who
specializes in condo law because condo law is complicated and getting an
expert's advice would be prudent. http://bit.ly/23J4ewR
