The claim can be for no more than $10,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any. Small Claims cases are governed by Rules 500-507 of Part V of the Rules of Civil Procedure. If, as plaintiff, you are primarily in the business of loaning money, (banks, credit unions, savings and loans), you are not allowed by law to file in Small Claims Court. An action in small claims court may not be brought by an assignee of the claim or other person or collection agency seeking to bring an action on an assigned claim. Filing Suit: The responsibility for filling out your petition rests with you, the plaintiff. Court clerks will assist you if you have any general questions about the petition itself, but can not give any legal advice. It is important that you understand that for any potential judgment you may receive to be valid, it is necessary for you to sue the defendant in their proper legal capacity. Determining this is the responsibility of the Plaintiff, not the clerk. (Consult with your attorney if you are unsure of the defendants proper legal capacity.) The most common are as follows: Personally: Where an individual is responsible to you for damage he/she may have caused as an individual. Proprietor or partnership: A business that is not incorporated, but does have on file with the County Clerk an assumed name, e.g. John Smith dba Green Co. Corporation: If the business which has allegedly caused you damage is incorporated, it is necessary to know the individuals name who is able to accept service on behalf of the corporation. To obtain this information you may call the Secretary of State whose phone number is 1-800-252-1386 (ask for the Corporate Charter Division). Also, for updated information, you may call The State Comptrollers Office, whose number is 512-463-5555. It is also possible for an incorporated entity to have an assumed name e.g. Greenhouse, Inc. dba Greenhouse Supplies. As a plaintiff, you must sue in the legal capacity in which YOU were damaged. At the time of filing your petition you will need to file a Case Information Sheet (provided in this packet) and, if the defendant is an individual, a Military Status Affidavit. (See Service Members Civil Relief Act below.) Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA): If the defendant does not file an answer to the lawsuit, or does not appear in court, the plaintiff will NOT be able to receive a "default judgment" unless the plaintiff first files with the Court a Servicemembers Civil Relief Act Affidavit stating, under oath, that the defendant is not in the military service on active duty status. A false statement in this affidavit is a violation of Federal Law! If a plaintiff does not have personal knowledge of the defendant's military status, the Department of Defense maintains a secure website  HYPERLINK "http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/scra/scraHome.do" www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/scra/scraHome.do where the Plaintiff can obtain a status record, or request it from the address below: Department of Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Military Verification Service 1600 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 400 Arlington, VA 22209-2593 Telephone 703-696-5790 FAX: 703-696-4156 Email Helpdesk:  HYPERLINK "mailto:sscra.helpdesk@osd.pentagon.mil" sscra.helpdesk@osd.pentagon.mil It is imperative that you provide us with your day time phone number. Please notify the court immediately of any change in your phone number or address. Please do not mail your petition to our office, unless it has been notarized. Documents filed in person may be signed in front of the clerk. In addition to the original petition and any attachments, you must provide the court with a copy of the petition and all attachments for each defendant to be served. Remember to send all other parties a copy of any document you file with the Court after your original filing. Costs: The filing fee is $46.00. In addition, there is a fee for serving the defendant, which is $75.00 per defendant to be served in Wood County by Constable or Deputy. For any papers requiring service out of Wood County, you will need to locate the Constables office in that area and supply the Court with the correct mailing address and service fee. For service by mail, the Citation must be mailed restricted delivery, return receipt requested. The cost of this service will be based on the current postage rates and the wait of the papers to be mailed. It is the responsibility of you the plaintiff to provide the Court with enough copies of the petition and all attachments to be served on each defendant. If these copies are not provided by you, the Court will make the copies and you will be charged $1.00 for the first page and .25 for each additional page. Citation: When you have filed the completed petition stating the detailed facts and circumstances of your suit, a citation along with a copy of your petition will be served on the defendant notifying him that a suit has been filed against him in this court. Answer: The citation will order the defendant(s) in your suit to answer to the Court, in person or in writing, by the end of the 14th day after the day they were served with the Citation. If the 14th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the answer will be due by the end of the first day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. If the last day for filing falls on a day during which the court is closed before 5:00 p.m., the time period is extended to the courts next business day. The trial date will be set at the earliest available date following the defendants answer, with at least 45 days notice to all Parties. If you are not contacted regarding your court date within about 8 weeks of filing, you will need to call our office to check the status of your case. Representation: Refer to Rule 500.4 of the Rules of Civil Procedure. These rules are available in our office and on our website ( HYPERLINK "http://www.mywoodcounty.com/default.aspx?name=jp3" www.mywoodcounty.com/default.aspx?name=jp3) Preparing your case for trial: The plaintiff has the burden of proof to show by the preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is at fault. You should bring with you to trial all proof of damages and evidence necessary to substantiate your claim. If you have witnesses to your suit who will not come to court voluntarily, you may order a subpoena to compel them to appear. You must submit your request for a subpoena in writing at least one week prior to your trial date and pay the required fee for service. The fee for a subpoena in Wood County is $100.00. Our jurisdiction is limited to a 150 mile radius for subpoenaed documents or individuals Notarized statements from individuals are of very little value. Personal appearance and testimony are much more beneficial. Any expert witnesses whose testimony you are going to need should be in court. Pleadings and Motions: Except for oral motions made during trial or when all parties are present, every pleading, plea, motion, application to the court for an order, or other form of request must be written and signed by the party or its attorney and must be filed with the court. A document may be filed with the court by personal or commercial delivery, or by mail. Pre-Trial Discovery is available to either party, but only by written motion, and must be approved by the Court. It needs to be completed prior to the trial. Motions for Continuance must be made by sworn motion in advance of the trial date with a copy forwarded to the opposing party. It must show good cause and you should not presume the motion for continuance will be granted merely because it is filed. The Court will advise you of its ruling. Jury Trial Demanded: Any party is entitled to a trial by jury. A written demand for a jury must be filed no later than 14 days before the date a case is set for trial. If the demand is not timely, the right to a jury is waived unless the late filing is excused by the judge for good cause. Unless otherwise provided by law, a party demanding a jury must pay a fee of $22.00. Trial by Judge or Jury: A hearing notice will be mailed to you (the plaintiff) and to the defendant stating the time and date to appear in Court After Judgment: A party may appeal a judgment with the Justice Court within twenty-one days after the judgment is signed or the motion to reinstate, motion to set aside, or motion for new trial if any, is denied. A plaintiff must pay a $10.00 fee and file a $500.00 bond. A defendant must pay a $10.00 fee and file a bond in an amount equal to twice the amount of the judgment. The bond must be supported by a surety or sureties approved by the judge. If an appeal is not filed within twenty-one days from the date the judgment is signed, and if a Motion to Set Aside a Default Judgment or a Motion for New Trial is not filed within fourteen days from the date the judgment is signed, the judgment becomes final. Your remedies to collect your money are as follows: This Court does not collect the money judgment for you, nor can we force an indigent defendant to pay the judgment. If you receive a judgment against the defendant, this court can issue various instruments to assist you in collecting the judgment. You may request an Abstract of Judgment, Writ of Execution, Writ of Garnishment or Turnover Order. An Abstract of Judgment, when properly filed, puts a lien on any real property the defendant may own in a county where the Abstract is recorded. An Abstract can be obtained after the judgment has been signed. The fee for obtaining an Abstract of Judgment from the Justice of the Peace is $5.00 for each abstract issued, payable in cash, money order or certified check. The Abstract of Judgment will be mailed to you. The Abstract of Judgment must then be filed with the County Clerks office in whichever county or counties you believe the defendant may own property. A Writ of Execution may be obtained anytime after the 30th day from the date the judgment is signed. A Writ of Execution allows a Constable or Sheriff to try and seize non-exempt property from the defendant. If the property is seized, an auction is held and the proceeds from the sale are credited toward your judgment. The cost for filing a Writ of Execution is $130.00 ($5.00 - Court's filing fee and $125.00 - Constable's service fee for Wood County.) A Writ of Garnishment is also available thirty (30) days after the final judgment has been signed. The Garnishment proceeding is a separate suit wherein you are the plaintiff and the defendants bank becomes the defendant. You are actually suing the bank in which the original defendant has his bank account. You are warning this bank to freeze the monetary assets of this bank account and to appear and make answer to the Garnishment suit. An attorney should probably be used because the courts clerical staff will not be able by law to assist you in drafting the documents that are necessary, and the bank being sued will most certainly employ an attorney. A Turnover Order is available before and/or after the judgment is signed. Its purpose is to provide a court-ordered means of reaching property which cannot easily be reached through ordinary legal process and which is not exempt from attachment, execution, etc. An attorney should be used because the courts clerical staff will be able by law to assist you in drafting the documents that are necessary. SHOULD THE DEFENDANT PAY ANY PORTION OF THE AMOUNT OWED AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED A JUDGMENT, IT IS NECESSARY FOR YOU TO NOTIFY THE COURT OF THE CREDIT, OR NOTIFY THE COURT THAT THE JUDGMENT HAS BEEN SATISFIED IN FULL IF THE DEFENDANT PAYS THE ENTIRE JUDGMENT AMOUNT. IF YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES WITHIN THE 10 YEAR PERIOD FOLLOWING THE JUDGMENT, YOU SHOULD NOTIFY THE COURT OF YOUR NEW ADDRESS. Prohibited Conduct: The judge and the clerks are prohibited by law from giving any LEGAL ADVICE. Ex-Parte Communication, or discussing the case with any member of the Court, including Court Clerks, without the other side present is absolutely forbidden.
