What Happens if I Lose My Small Claims Case? If the judgment is in favor of the defendant, you can file a motion for new trial within 14 days of the judgment. That means that you want a “do over” in the same justice court. You would need to show that justice wasn't done in the original case.
The claim can be for no more than $20,000, excluding statutory interest and court costs but including attorney fees, if any. For information on how to sue in Small claims court.
