Summary

In Ontario, all parties in a lawsuit must adhere to the Rules of the Small Claims Court. Changing or adding names to paperwork after filing typically requires an amendment, often needing the courts permission. Misrepresentation or taking advantage of a partys lack of knowledge can be considered misconduct. Court rules prohibit deceitful or misleading conduct, and the Rules of Civil Procedure govern behavior during proceedings. Misconduct can result in penalties, including fines or dismissal of claims. If a defendant fails to respond within a specified time, the plaintiff may request a default judgment. Misusing the amendment process can be seen as misconduct and may have consequences.
