ADMINISTRATION OFFICE: Located on the ground floor of 7755 Hurontario (pictured above).  If you require counter service (eg. to file a plaintiff’s claim or a defence) you will need to pass through courthouse security, go to the information desk for a ticket and then proceed to the administration office and wait until your ticket is called.  Wait times can be in excess of one hour.

Specific Hearing Types

MOTIONS: We have been advised the proper procedure for bringing a motion is to attend at the clerk’s office and file the motion at which time a hearing date will be given.  After the motion has been filed it must then be served.  Motions are heard every day of the week and usual appear near the top a courtroom’s docket after any assessment hearings.

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCES: When a Defence disputing some or all of a Plaintiff’s Claim is filed the Clerk of the Court will automatically schedule a Settlement Conference.  Often the Hearing Notices will be mailed along with the Plaintiff’s copy of the Defence.  In Brampton there are often three or four Settlement Conferences scheduled for 10am and 11am and usually less than that for 12pm.   

TRIALS: If a defended matter is not resolved at a Settlement Conference than any of the parties to the proceeding may request a trial date by completing a Request to Clerk Form and sending it to the Brampton Small Claims Court along with payment of the required fee.

DEBTOR’S EXAMINATIONS: These hearings are usually held at least twice a month.  Completed paperwork must be submitted to the Clerk of the Court in order to receive a hearing date.  (This may not be case with a hearing that has previously been adjourned).
