How much can I sue for in small claims court in Idaho?
Answered for: Idaho
In every magistrate's division of the district court of this state, the district court may create and organize a "Small Claims Department of the Magistrate's Division," which shall have jurisdiction in cases for the recovery of money where the amount of each claim does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), and in cases for the recovery of personal property where the value of the property does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000); provided however, that the small claims department shall not award punitive damages or damages for pain or suffering in any proceeding.
The statute sets the small claims limit at $15,000, Same $15,000 cap applies to recovery of money and to recovery of personal property. The department may NOT award punitive damages or damages for pain or suffering.. That figure is the one the section states; the words above are the section itself.
This answer is true in Idaho and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Idaho.
