Obtaining Small Claims Forms for Rhode Island Superior Court

[ddeveaux]

I went back and read my original post and apologize, but I now see where the confusion lay. I think both my use of "small claims" vs "civil" created a problem and I wasn't thorough enough in the purpose of the suit, esp now that other information has been added to the answers.

But to clarify, this is Corporation vs. Corporation. So I believe then it is civil. I see that I said "I have to file suit" and just meant "I" as a representative of my S Corp.

Sorry for the confusion and thank you for the input. So I now believe that the $5 to $10K is applicable to us and, if the self mailed envelope is an option, this is likely to the DC?

Oh, I see now. Um, no, you can't do that. Forms or no.

Although I am thoroughly confused by this thread right now (including by tranquility's post?), if you are still just interested in forms then, yes, you can use the self-addressed stamped envelope option for getting forms from the court - although, if this is not a small claims action afterall, the forms could be available for you to download online.

Good luck.

?? Really? I bolded and everything.

A corporation in Rhode Island must be represented by an attorney in legal matters. A corporation cannot prosecute or defend a suit "pro per". A corporation is not a person. A corporation's "representative" cannot prosecute a suit.

No. Not really.

I think I was still thinking small claims (or not thinking, which is also a possibility).

ddeveaux, before sending off for or downloading any court forms, you will benefit from sitting down with an attorney in your area to discuss your claims against the Rhode Island corporation, to see exactly what you need to do to move your legal action forward.

Good luck.
