Claim No.
REASONS FOR CLAIM AND DETAILS
Explain what happened, including where and when. Then explain how much money you are claiming or what
goods you want returned.
If you are relying on any documents, you MUST attach copies to the claim. If evidence is lost or unavailable, you
MUST explain why it is not attached.
What happened?
Where?
When?
What happened:
I would want to claim against Carol and John Allen Brown regarding my payment of
$30,000. A contract was made between us regarding artificial insemination of a baby
in which I was to be paid $50,000. However, the defendant has paid $20,000 in
advance in John and Carol's home in Toronto and promised to pay the remaining
$30,000 will pay after delivery of the baby. On June 1st, 2012, the defendant was
pregnant and denied to pay the pending money prior to one month before the
delivery of the surrogate child. The defendants told that they now do not want the
baby. Based on the situation, we have a proper contract to get money $30,000 after
the delivery but the defended has conducted a breach of contract before its maturity
(Pinto James LLP, 2019; Legal Line, 2019). Based on this scenario, I would request
the court to take a strict decision against the defendants so that I can receive my
remaining payment as per the contract mentioned (UWO, 2015). With respect to the
document, we have conducted a verbal contract, wherein the defended agreed to pay
the money within the specified time. I would further request that the defendant must
pay the pending money based on the contract made. In the context of returning
goods, it is not possible because it has a biological constraint. Hence, defended has
to pay the money and the court can conduct medical tests for the purpose of finding
the truth behind the scene. With respect to the evidence, it is a verbal contract,
hence I do not have proper evidence against the case. Nevertheless, the court can
find evidence if they conduct medical actions against the defendant.
Where:
The contract was made in Carol and John’s house in Toronto.
When:
On December 3rd, 2011, I flew to Toronto to Carol and John’s house in Toronto for
signing the contract regarding the artificial insemination. The date of delivery was on
July 2012 and the contract was breached by John and Carol due to her pregnancy.

Instructions for Making a Claim
You can now file your claim online. Please visit: www.ontario.ca/smallclaims.
Step 1: COMPLETE the Plaintiff’s Claim form. Be sure to get the defendant’s name right.
Explain what happened in detail. Include dates and places. State how much money you want or
what goods you want returned. Attach copies of any documents that help your case. Examples
are contracts, repair bills and photographs of damaged goods. If you want interest on money
you are claiming, ask for it on the claim form. You and the defendant may have a contract that
sets an annual interest rate. If so, use that rate. If not, claim the Courts of Justice Act interest
rate posted on the Ministry of the Attorney General web-site at
www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca.
If there is more than one plaintiff or defendant, complete an Additional Parties form (Form
1A) and put it right behind page one of your plaintiff's claim form. You can get the additional
parties form from the court office or at the following website: www.ontariocourtforms.on.ca.
Step 2: FILE the plaintiff’s claim and related documents by taking it or mailing it to the Small
Claims Court office. You must also file a copy for every defendant. There is a fee. Cheques or
money orders are payable to the Minister of Finance. The fees are listed at the court office
and online at: www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca. The clerk will return stamped copies of the
plaintiff's claim to you.
Step 3: SERVE. You must deliver a copy of the filed claim and your documents to each
defendant. This is called “serving” the defendants. There are rules about how this must be
done. See the Small Claims Court “Guide to Serving Documents” at the court office or online
at www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca.
Is it worth it? It is important to consider whether the person or company you are claiming
from is likely to be able to pay. If they:
. are unemployed;
. are bankrupt;
. have no money of their own;
. have no personal property and have nothing else of value belonging to them (such as a
car) which is not subject to a lease agreement;
. have ceased to carry on business; or
. have other debts to pay,
the court may not be able to help you get your money. However, you may be able to get your
money if you are prepared to accept small instalments over a period of time. See the Small
Claims Court "After Judgment – Guide to Getting Results" at the court office or online at
www.attorneygeneral.jus.gov.on.ca.
