Some of the most common cases handled by Small Claims Court include:
✅ Money Owed & Unpaid Invoices
• Unpaid debts between individuals or businesses.
• Freelancer or business disputes over unpaid work.
✅ Consumer & Contract Disputes
• Faulty goods or poor-quality services.
• Breaches of warranty or service agreements.
✅ Landlord & Tenant Disputes
• Disagreements over tenancy deposits.
• Property damage claims (if below the small claims threshold).
✅ Personal Injury & Road Traffic Claims
• Minor injury claims (limited to £1,500 in Scotland).
• Small-scale car accident damage claims.
If your claim falls outside these categories, mediation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) may be a better option.
