This doesn't answer your questions completely, but might get you headed in the right direction!
I did a Google search for "unlimited jurisdiction" and one of the sites (a California court site), had this info:
Unlimited Jurisdiction cases:
If you have a case worth more than $25,000, you have an unlimited jurisdiction case. For these cases, you have to give the Clerk:
The Complaint, or petition,
A Civil Case Cover Sheet,
The filing fee (click here for Civil Filing Fees), and
An original copy of the Summons.
top of page �ª
The Clerk will endorse the Complaint, the Cover Sheet and the Summons, and give them back to you with something called a �gCivil Lawsuit Notice�h. This tells the date and time of your first Court hearing, and which Department and Judge your case is assigned to.
You�fll also get an ADR Information Sheet and a receipt for your filing fee. If you file your case on something called pleading paper instead of on a complaint form, your papers must follow the Rule of Court 201.
Limited Jurisdiction cases:
If your case is worth more than $10,000 but less than $25,000, you have a limited jurisdiction case. You have to file the same forms as Unlimited jurisdiction cases. And, your papers have to be numbered at the bottom of every page. The front page has to say, "demand exceeds $10,000.00" or "demand does not exceed $10,000.00". The front page also has to say "Limited Civil Case."
Thank God I'm not an attorney! So, use this info as just that....INFO!
