How Does Pennsylvania Small Claims Court Work? A small claims case starts by filing a claim with the Pennsylvania Magisterial District Court. You'll serve a copy of the claim and court date on the "defendant," the person or company you're suing. At the trial, you'll present evidence supporting your case.
(a) Original process shall be served within the Commonwealth within 30 days after the issuance of the writ or the filing of the complaint. See Rule 404 for the time for service outside the Commonwealth.
(b) if service is to be made in Philadelphia, send the copy of the complaint for service to the Court Administrator of the Philadelphia Municipal Court who shall deliver it for service to a writ server of that court or to the sheriff of Philadelphia.
You cannot personally serve the other party. A competent person over the age of 18, who is not a party on the case, or a family member; can serve the other party for you. This person could be a friend, sheriff, constable, etc. You can also serve them via mail or serve their attorney.
At or before the hearing, give the judge a “proposed order.” A proposed order is a document describing the things you want the judge to order. Make sure you give a copy of the proposed order to the lawyer or person on the other side of the case.
