Small Claim Case

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Florida

We were in a business together with a sister and brother-in-law which is an S Corporation. We have tried to work with them and can not because they are "milking" the corporation dry because they own 80% and we own 20%.

We are owed $ 2,268 by the corporation and we had some of their property at our home. We suggested they give us the property for the money they owe us but they refused and filed in a small claims court for the return of this property. We had returned the property before knowing they had filed in small claims court. When we received the "replevin order" they had filed in small claims court we immediately filed a counter claim for our $ 2,268, $ 73 for the storage unit (their property was placed in), and a legal document showing we are released from all liabilities associated with the corporation.

This is my question: In small claims court, do we wait until the court date which is Nov. 3, 2005 to give the judge a "heads up" of our side of the case or can we get to him our side before the case is heard? Does small claims court issues wait until the day of court to show your total case?

Thanks, Jchssr

You show up on the scheduled date and time. You wait until the court calls your case. You then step forward and present your case. You do NOT present your case to the court without the other side being there.
