[RPPTL LandTen] Jurisdiction question

Fri Mar 13 07:55:51 PDT 2015

I think anything under $2,500.00 has to be filed as a small claims matter and the clerk issues a summons and pretrial hearing date with the summons.  I believe that is jurisdictional, so anything less than that amount shouldn't be filed in County Court.

Is it required that a simple security deposit dispute case for $1200 be filed in Small Claims Court or can an attorney file in County Court with a regular 20 day summons?  No injunctive relief is being asked for but it is a ridiculous complaint for one count called “Failure to Return” and a count for “Unjust Enrichment”.  What a waste of time.  If it is not proper, would a Motion to Dismiss be proper? The attorney who filed is not returning calls or emails so we can’t even try to settle this dumb case.  Harry  LAW OFFICES OF
