An individual may sue for numerous reasons. Some of the most common reasons to bring forth a Plaintiff's Claim in the Small Claims Court are property damage, breach of contract, real estate and renovation disputes, personal injury, etc.
A Consumer is an individual who purchases goods and services from a business for personal use. The Consumer Protection Act ("CPA") has been introduced to protect Consumers from unfair and deceptive business practices. A consumer may sue for misrepresentation, undisclosed or hidden fees and false undertakings.
It is important to keep in mind, an individual acting on behalf of a business is not a Consumer, regardless of any personal guarantees.
