Alberta Small Claims FAQ
What is the maximum amount I can sue for in Alberta?
The Alberta Court of Justice (Civil division, formerly the Provincial Court of Alberta) hears claims up to $100,000, excluding interest and costs. That limit was raised from $50,000 on August 1, 2023. Claims above $100,000 can proceed in the Court of King's Bench, or you may abandon the excess to stay within the $100,000 limit.
Do I need a lawyer for Alberta Small Claims Court?
No. Businesses and organizations regularly pursue and defend Civil claims with experienced representation rather than retaining a lawyer for every file. Our team manages corporate Small Claims matters at scale — delivering cost-effective, professional handling with clean reporting.
How long does an Alberta Small Claims case take?
Timelines vary by court location and complexity. Many matters resolve at the mediation or pre-trial conference stage within several months, while contested trials take longer. We prioritize early default and settlement opportunities to move files efficiently.
Can I recover my costs in Alberta?
A successful party is often awarded a portion of its costs and disbursements. Alberta's costs rules differ from Ontario's and are not capped at a fixed percentage of the claim — the Court of Justice retains discretion over what is reasonable in the circumstances.
