At trial, each party tells their story and presents evidence to the Court so that the Court can decide the case.

To ask for a trial date, file a Request to Clerk (Form 9B) and pay the required fee at least 30 days after your settlement conference.

For more information about trials, including preparation, etiquette, evidence and other topics, see the Getting ready for court section of the Ministry of the Attorney General’s Guide to procedures in small claims court.

Rule 17 of the Rules of the Small Claims Court deals with different procedural issues related to trials. Rule 18 deals with evidence at trial.
