A hearing shall be held by the court, as provided herein, and the court shall rule on any such motions not later than forty-five days after the date of judgment, not including the date of entry of such judgment.
The small claims division of a district court has the power to hear civil cases in which a party (the plaintiff) is seeking a money amount up to $5,000.
Five days' notice is required to the opposing party and the court. Motions may be typed by either party, may be filed on the General Notice and Motion Form or may be filed on one of the appropriate forms provided by the Supreme Court of Virginia (located here).
To file this lawsuit, you must go to the General District Court Clerk's office. Ask for the proper court form. To sue for money, fill out a "Warrant in Debt." Even though this court form is called a "warrant," it is not used in a criminal case. It is used in a civil (non-criminal) case.
The following information will be needed by the plaintiff to complete either form: (1) the name of the defendant, (2) the current address of the defendant, (3) the amount of the plaintiff's claim, and (4) the basis of the claim.
