Small Claims Assistance
“Accessible, Practical Legal Guidance for Subordinate Court Claims (Up to RM5,000)”
Overview & Legal Representation
Under Order 93 of the Rules of Court 2012, the Small Claims Court is a simplified, cost-effective judicial mechanism established in the Magistrates’ Court for individuals to recover debts or damages not exceeding RM5,000 without requiring lawyer representation during the trial hearing itself.
However, many claimants struggle with structuring their legal causes of action, filling out statutory court forms (Form 198), complying with service rules, or assembling admissible evidence to substantiate their claims against uncooperative debtors or defaulting merchants.
Messrs. Low Wah Chin & Co. provides accessible, fixed-fee behind-the-scenes legal assistance. We evaluate your claim merits, draft your Form 198 Statement of Claim or Form 199 Defense/Counterclaim, organize your documentary proof, coach you on courtroom presentation before the Magistrate, and assist with post-judgment enforcement procedures.
