I saw a post on here recently talking about how they got Paypal into court. I'll have to try and find it again.
Problem is, it's not worth whatever court costs I would probably incur. Granted, there isn't a lawyer involved in small claims, but could they judge order me pay their lawyer fees if I lose?
- panta 4y agoMaybe we could create a sort of small mutual insurance fund to pay legal expenses in such cases.
- slenk 4y agoI am not smart enough to know if that is already a thing or not...
- Eisenstein 4y agoYou might want to check if lawyers are even allowed in small claims. If they aren't they would have to sent a company representative, and there would be no 'lawyer fees'.
- slenk 4y agoWell in Michigan (where I am located) they are not allowed. I am pretty pessimistic and just assume there are fees I don't know about
- chongli 4y agoDepends on the laws in your jurisdiction. I think in a lot of cases, small claims courts put very low caps on legal fees that can be claimed. The defendant might only be able to claim a few hundred dollars at most.
