Whether it is an unpaid invoice for a service rendered or a product sold, when an individual owes you money you can take them to court either for breaking a contract (if one exists) or for unjust enrichment.
Exactly which court to take them to will depend on the amount of money owing. As of January 2020, the Small Claims Court in Ontario has jurisdiction to hear matters involving $35,000.00 or less. For amounts greater than $35,000.00, you can proceed in the Superior Court of Justice.
Powell Litigation regularly represents its clients in both the Small Claims Court and the Superior Court of Justice. For more information, call us today at (647) 360-7147.
It often takes people by surprise that you only have so much time before you have to sue someone. If you wait too long, your case will be thrown out. These are known as limitation periods. Generally speaking, in Ontario you have two years from the day you knew or ought to have known that you had a claim to commence a proceeding in court.
There are exceptions to this rule and there times when the two-year period can be extended. For more information, give us a call today at (647) 360-7147.

We hired Powell Litigation to help us with a condo dispute. Weston was absolutely fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable, eager, and trustworthy. He helped us to understand the legal nuances of our case and our options moving forward. We recommend Powell Litigation in the strongest possible terms and will trust him with our business going forward!

You know the injustice we’re talking about. Someone has wronged you. It could be in any number of ways. Maybe they owe you money. Maybe they’ve told lies about you and hurt your reputation. Maybe they didn’t keep their promise to you and left you high and dry. You can just picture their smug face asking, “What are you going to do about it?”

Do you want to know a secret about why large law firms in Toronto are so outrageously expensive? Well, for starters, they have massive overhead. Their offices are in the financial district which has the highest commercial rents in the entire province. Do you benefit at all from them having those really nice offices? Nope. Not at all. Lawyers argue their cases at court, not at their offices, so it doesn’t matter whether their offices are in overpriced steel and glass towers downtown or in a nice professional building in North York like us.
We are a young legal team, yet we have more courtroom experience than most lawyers who have been practising for decades. At the end of the day, what matters is the experience and skill that your lawyer brings to the table. What you really need is a lawyer who is as comfortable in the courtroom as they are in their own living room. The only way to get that level of comfort is by going to court. A lot. And that is exactly what you can expect from your Toronto civil litigation lawyer at Powell Litigation.
You’ll be shocked by this. At a recent trial, I was facing off against a lawyer who has literally been practising law since I was born. He did a fine job (although we ended up winning the trial and getting $170,117.84 for our client. You can read the decision here). What was shocking was that this lawyer confided in me that, after decades of practising law, this was his very first trial! Can you imagine that?
To get a lawyer with the courtroom experience you need to win your case, call us today at (647) 360-7147.
I contacted Powell Litigation for some legal assistance concerning my business and immediately felt very comfortable and knew I was in the right place.
Mr. Powell’s communication and responsiveness were beyond my expectations throughout the process; he was clear, intelligent and honest with a real understanding of my concerns. He was always accessible, listened intently and answered all my questions directly, offering both highly professional advice and recommendations.
When my case went to court, is when I saw Mr. Powell’s true skill and brilliance at work.
He handled the proceedings with the highest degree of professionalism, achieving an outcome in my favor and a monetary result higher than I could have ever expected.
Mr. Powell’s passion for his work is definitely clear. He is knowledgeable, efficient and extremely attentive to detail which makes him very pleasant to work with. Weston Was instrumental in winning my case and I am extremely fortunate to have found him. I would without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend working with him to my friends and colleagues, knowing they would be in strong capable hands with an attorney who truly cares.
Thank you does not seem like enough for what Weston did for me.
