What the court can and can't do

Maximum claim

$20,000Maximum claimThe most you can sue for in Juab County small claims
01

Where you can file

Filing is generally possible in the county of the events or the county of the defendant.

02

No claim splitting

One dispute cannot be broken into several cases to slip under the cap.

03

Money judgments only

Judgments take the form of money owed; other kinds of relief are heard elsewhere.

04

Attorneys allowed, not needed

Utah permits lawyers at the hearing without requiring them. Everything is built around people presenting their own case.

05

You must be 18 or older

A claim involving a minor is brought by a court-appointed guardian.

Over the limit? Two routes exist: reduce the claim to the cap and stay here, or take the full sum to regular civil court. Reducing it normally forfeits the difference.

Service of Process

How to notify the other side

The defendant must be given formal notice after filing. This is service of process, and as a rule you are not permitted to serve the papers yourself.

Who is allowed to serve

A sheriff, a constable, a professional server, the court clerk using certified mail, or an uninvolved adult can all serve papers, depending on local rules. Fees and permitted methods vary.

When it must be done

Every court fixes a minimum number of days between service and the hearing. The clerk will tell you what it is for your case.

Proof of service

The person who delivered the papers signs a proof of service. That document goes to the court ahead of the hearing.

Service is where many self-filed cases stall. Squabble can coordinate professional Service of Process so it's done correctly and on time.
