How much can I sue for in small claims court in Minnesota?
Answered for: Minnesota
Except as provided in subdivisions 4 and 5, the conciliation court has jurisdiction to hear, conciliate, try, and determine civil claims if the amount of money or property that is the subject matter of the claim does not exceed: (1) $20,000; or (2) $4,000, if the claim involves a consumer credit transaction.
Minnesota caps a small claims suit at $20,000, CONDITIONAL: the ceiling drops to $4,000 if the claim involves a 'consumer credit transaction' as defined in subd. 3a(b)..
This answer is true in Minnesota and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Minnesota.
