Rule 140.01 Rules - When Applicable

Here's a plain English summary:

If your case is being handled in small claims court, a specific set of rules applies to it. These rules, numbered 140 through 152, cover every civil case that goes through the small claims division.

In simple terms, this rule just tells you where to look for the guidelines that control how small claims cases work. Instead of using the regular rules for bigger civil lawsuits, small claims cases follow their own separate set of procedures found in this range of rules.

If you have a case in small claims court, you can expect these particular rules to guide things like how to file your claim, what happens during the hearing, and other steps in the process.
