Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Under provincial limitation statutes, the basic limitation period is typically two years from the date the claim was “discovered”—meaning when you knew, or reasonably ought to have known, that a loss occurred and was caused by an identifiable party. Missing this limitation deadline permanently prevents you from seeking compensation through the courts.

This depends on the monetary value and complexity of your claim. Small Claims Court handles disputes up to statutory thresholds (typically $35,000 to $50,000 depending on jurisdiction) through an expedited, cost-effective process. Claims exceeding this limit must proceed through the formal procedures of the Superior Court of Justice.

In civil litigation, the successful party is generally entitled to a “costs award” paid by the losing party. However, courts rarely award 100% of your actual expenses. Typically, cost awards cover a portion (partial indemnity, roughly 40% to 60%) of your legal fees, plus approved disbursements (such as filing fees and expert reports).

In a mediation session, both parties, alongside their respective lawyers, meet with an accredited neutral mediator. The mediator does not issue a binding judgment; instead, they highlight case weaknesses, evaluate risks, and assist both sides in negotiating a mutually acceptable settlement to avoid trial expenses..
