Rule 26.6 provides for the scope of the small claims track. A claim for a remedy for harassment or unlawful eviction relating, in either case, to residential premises shall not be allocated to the small claims track whatever the financial value of the claim. Otherwise, the small claims track will be the normal track for -
any claim which has a financial value of not more than £5,000 subject to the special provisions about claims for personal injuries and housing disrepair claims;
any claim for personal injuries which has a financial value of not more than £5,000 where the claim for damages for personal injuries is not more than £1,000; and
any claim which includes a claim by a tenant of residential premises against his landlord for repairs or other work to the premises where the estimated cost of the repairs or other work is not more than £1,000 and the financial value of any other claim for damages is not more than £1,000)
if the total amount you wish to claim is over £5k but the amount of actual charges is within the £5k limit without interest, to claim the actual charges first and then another claim for the interest after the first claim has been settled
no I checked it out, its just says all amount less than 5k will automatically be held in the smallclaims court track, any amount can be claimed in the small claims track provided its seen that its the sutible track due to the case complexity of lack of it
The 5000 limit for small claims
