Superior Court of Justice, Here Come the Non-Payment Claims

A recent decision by Justice Nordheimer confirmed that Lawyers can no longer bring claims for non-payment against their clients to the Ontario Small Claims Court. They must now be assessed at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

An excellent article by Yamri Taddese of the Law Times, details how this will impact the profession.
