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.
Michigan caps a small claims suit 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..
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.
