How much can I sue for in small claims court in Michigan?
Answered for: Michigan
The jurisdiction of the small claims division shall be confined to cases for the recovery of money in which the amount claimed does not exceed the following: (a) Beginning September 1, 2012, $5,000.00. (b) Beginning January 1, 2015, $5,500.00. (c) Beginning January 1, 2018, $6,000.00. (d) Beginning January 1, 2021, $6,500.00 (e) Beginning January 1, 2024, $7,000.00.
The statute sets the small claims limit at $7,000, Statute sets a schedule of step increases; $7,000 is the figure 'Beginning January 1, 2024' and is the last step listed.. That figure is the one the section states; the words above are the section itself.
This answer is true in Michigan and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Michigan.
