[CLBS] small claims jurisdiction

[Jed Manwaring]

See Rule 81(b)and (c).  What I have done is file my compulsory counterclaim in Magistrate's division and the small claims case then gets pulled over and consolidated.   If there is no counterclaim, then ????  You may be stuck there.

Subject: [CLBS] small claims jurisdiction

If a case is filed in magistrate court over a $300 dispute, in no case over $1000, can the defendant force the case to small claims, or are they stuck in magistrate court?
