Hello

Last week I went to a large supermarket chain, and among other things I bought some tinned chicken and tomatoes. When I opened one of them for dinner, I saw something smeely inside , probably mould. Can I sur the supermarket?

Hello Ms Bevins,

Yes, you can file a lawsuit in the Small Claims court in the province you live. These small claims are known as civil cases and the court, which deals with them, may sometimes be called the Provincial Civil Court, rather than the Small Claims Court.

Each province sets its own Small Claims Court limit on the maximum amount of money that can be claimed via its Small Claims Courts. If you sue for an amount greater than the Small Claims Court limit stated below, you can still use the Small Claims Court, but you will not receive more than the provincial maximum if the court rules in your favour.

If you decide to go about this through Small Claims court, look here for free additional info: http://legalcanadacommunity.co…..aims-court
