FAQ
Be clear and concise when presenting your case; don't go off on tangents, don't insult the other party, don't bring up information or events that aren't directly related to the matter at hand. Rehearse presenting your case before you get into court. Listen to everything the judge says and answer clearly.
A person serving papers must be 18 years of age or older and must not be a party to the case (CPLR 2103a). Papers may be served by a process server, friend or relative of a party so long as he or she is not a party to the case.
You do not need a lawyer to sue in Small Claims Court. But you may hire one, if you want. The other side may also hire a lawyer. The Court will not give you a lawyer.
Other motions to dismiss ask for dismissal with prejudice. This means that the case can't be started again. For example, if the case is legally time barred by the statute of limitations or the plaintiff or petitioner does not have the right to start the case.
Specifically, pursuant to Uniform Rule 202.7 (f), upon an application for an order to show cause that seeks a temporary restraining order, the application must contain an affirmation demonstrating that there will be significant prejudice to the party seeking the restraining order by the giving of notice.
You do not need a lawyer to sue in Small Claims Court. But you may hire one, if you want. The other side may also hire a lawyer. The Court will not give you a lawyer.
If the defendant does not come to court, an inquest will likely be held and a decision made in favor of the Claimant (the person who filled the suit in Small Claims court). An inquest is a non-jury trial where you present proof of the amount of your damages.
Whereas a case that is dismissed “with prejudice” is dismissed permanently, a case that is dismissed “without prejudice” is only dismissed temporarily. This temporary dismissal means that the plaintiff is allowed to re-file charges, alter the claim, or bring the case to another court.
The court may grant a motion to dismiss if the plaintiff's complaint fails to allege all the elements of a claim adequately. Or the court may grant it if the complaint fails to allege a measurable injury.
If you see a potential for a motion to dismiss, this is an opportunity to inform the client how much legal expertise is necessary for such a filing. In other words, they will be facing a daunting challenge trying to represent themselves and will likely need an attorney more than ever.
