Common Questions
Small claims questions Oakville clients often ask.
Can an Oakville professional service invoice be a small claim?
It may be possible if the amount is within the court's monetary limit and the records support the debt.

Scope, deliverables, communications, complaint records, and proof of loss should be reviewed.
Can I recover expert or repair estimate costs?
It depends on the facts and how the costs relate to proving or remedying the loss.
