What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
Hi, was hoping for a little advice. We recently had an issue with a contractor we hired to build us some furniture. We ended up filing a suit against him in Small Claims court, and won the full amount we were asking. It has come to our attention, that we totally missed a payment that we made to him during this process. Long story, but in the end, we messed up. The missed payment did come up during the hearing with the Judge, and he said that we couldn't amend what we were asking for at that time. Is there any way that we are we allowed to file another suit for the additional money that we did not ask for in the initial suit? Let's just say that we paid a total of $1,000. We issued a claim for $750 and won. Would we be allowed to initiate another claim, for the additional $250?
