Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Small-claims court would be the most appropriate court for a dispute involving a relatively small amount of money, like the $1,500 cost of paving the driveway. Federal court would not have jurisdiction over this case because it does not involve a federal question or diversity of citizenship. The state supreme court would be too high of a court for a small dispute like this. A family court would not be appropriate in this situation because it typically deals with issues relating to family relationships and domestic matters.
