"Don't tin that because the procedures are relatively informel you can juat go in and tell your Even though enieli daims court » more properly called - the provincial court (civil division) - allows you te pleed your cas without having te hire a lawyer, don't expect the judge te draznatically prompt you te make your case. Although the. judge and the people in the clerkes department wiIl go out of their way te belp you before and during the trial, once it cornes time te tell your side of the stoxy youlre on your own. The key points you should remember are te: * have ail the documente you need te, plead your case. Copes are attached te the form whien you meke your dlaim; originals are entered as evidence in court * ensure the court form notes the full correct nom. and ful address of the defendant and bis or ber compeny, the amount claimed and the. reason for your dlaim * know wbat you!re g oin t say on the stand and ho youtre gong te say it. Teil your story coherently and without repetition. You can refer te notes, but can't read them. * meke sure any witnesses you need are present. You cen bave the court issue a summons te make sure they appear, and it can slow down your case if key witnesses are missing. * An important point, says McBey, is whether toesue where you do business or where the. defendant carres on business The latter is usualy better, mince it adds te your chances 0f collecting sbould you win. mtes best te file the dlaimi in person, since a member of the clerk's staff will help you 511 eout the form correctly and advise you wbat fees must b. paid.
