What is the monetary limit of small claims court in NYS (specifically Warren county) and what would be my next course of action if the amount I was seeking to recover exceeded this limit?
Answer
Warren County as such does not have a small claims court. Small claims courts exist as part of Town Courts and City Courts. Justice Courts hear nothing but Small Claims and minor violations for up to $1,000. See http://warrencountyny.gov/da/courts.php. In both Town and City courts the limit is $5,000. If your claim is bigger then go to a higher court: County Court's limit is $25,000 and Supreme Court has no limit.
