How long does it take case to get heard in a small claims

Many thanks for your patience. It is difficult to say exactly how long a SCC claim would take. There is no set timeline and different factors will influence the length of the claim. For example, it would depend on the following:{C}· How busy the court you issue the claim in is at the time and also how efficiently they deal with claims.{C}· Availability of judges and court dates.{C}· What the other party does – for example do they ignore the claim or do they fully defend it.{C}· Are there going to be any delays based on applications by the other party or orders of the court, for example to deal with evidence, witnesses etc. All in all you are easily looking at a couple months at least. I would say if it is a relatively straightforward matter you should have it heard within 2-3 months. I hope this has answered your query. I would be grateful if you could please take a second to leave a positive rating (3, 4 or 5 stars) as that is an important part of our process and recognises the time I have spent assisting you. If you need me to clarify anything before you go - please get back to me on here and I will assist further as best as I can. Thank you
