The Rules of the Small Claims Court provide a summarized procedure that streamlines cases in a manner intended to reduce legal costs and intended to reduce the time for a case to run the judicial process unlike the costs and times required for cases proceeding within the higher levels of the Superior Court civil litigation system.
