I'm in Calgary and went thru small claims court about 2 yrs ago. It was related to a landscaping screw up by a large landscape company. They completely ignored my calls leaving me no choice but to sue them. There was a outstanding $3000 balance owed to them. I had one arbitration meeting(no success) and a "court appearance" with a judge over about 6 months. Both sides of course present there positions in front of the judge.
I won a partial settlement. The landscape company forgave the $3000 balance and wrote me a cheque for $4000. The alternative to this settlement was to go to trial which would have been expensive and not worth it for the amounts involved.
So the system worked somewhat but it is a drawn out process.
