Full Case Pack FAQ

What's in the hearing script?

A word-for-word opening statement, the order to present your evidence, likely defence arguments (and how to respond), and a word-for-word closing statement — written in plain language.

Do I need a lawyer?

No. Small claims is designed for self-representation. Ruled gives you legal information and a structured plan so you can present your case clearly.

What if they don't show up?

In many provinces you can ask for a default judgment if the defendant doesn’t respond or appear. Your case pack explains the steps and what to bring so you can request it properly.

How long does it take?

Your assessment is fast. Demand letters can resolve disputes in weeks. If you file, timelines vary by province — hearings are often scheduled a few months after filing depending on backlog.
