Not all small claims require a court hearing. If your case is straightforward, the judge may decide based on written evidence.
✔️ When attendance is required:
• The claim is disputed, and evidence needs to be reviewed in court.
• The judge requests an in-person or video hearing.
❌ If you don’t attend:
• The case may proceed without you, and a decision could be made in favour of the other party.
• You may need to provide a valid reason for non-attendance.
