Magistrate Court Claims

Magistrate Court and Small Claims Cases

Magistrate court cases in Georgia are limited to cases in which the amount sought is $15,000 or less. Claims in magistrate court are heard and decided by a judge without a jury. Frequently, these cases relate to credit card debt or other small claims for money.

Just because a claim is brought in magistrate court does not change the burden of proof. A plaintiff bringing the case must still prove the claim.

​
