How much can I sue for in small claims court in North Dakota?
Answered for: North Dakota
All judges of the district courts may exercise the jurisdiction conferred by this chapter, and while sitting in the exercise of that jurisdiction must be known and referred to as the "small claims court". The jurisdiction of this court is confined to cases for recovery of money, a tenant's claim for civil damages under subsection 9 of section 47-10-28, or the cancellation of any agreement involving material fraud, deception, misrepresentation, or false promise, when the value of the agreement or the amount claimed by the plaintiff or the defendant does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars.
The statute sets the small claims limit at $15,000, Cap applies to the amount claimed by EITHER the plaintiff or the defendant. Covers recovery of money, a tenant's claim under N.D.C.C. § 47-10-28(9), or cancellation of an agreement involving material fraud, deception, misrepresentation or false promise.. That figure is the one the section states; the words above are the section itself.
This answer is true in North Dakota and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for North Dakota.
