The Provincial Court has announced that effective July 13, 2020, BC’s Small Claims Court will be accepting new claims once again. This is the first opportunity for parties to initiate new claims at Small Claims Court since March 18, 2020, when the Provincial Court stopped accepting any non-urgent filings due to COVID-19. Parties concerned with having missed a limitation date during this time should be aware of the province’s announcement of the temporary suspension of limitation periods.
