Legal Question in Consumer Law in New York
A company based in New York State has refused to give me a refund for a product that I never received. I believe I'm in entitled to my money back. The Better Business Bureau process has yielded me no results.
The only problem is: I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Can I sue this company even though I'm a Canadian citizen? If so, how would I go about doing this? Would I have to be present in a court in New York if the lawsuit went to trial?

Q. Can I sue this company even though I'm a Canadian citizen?
A. Yes.
Q. If so, how would I go about doing this?
A. If the product was valued under $5,000, you may be able to commence an action yourself in small claims court. The Court's venue would be the county where the defendant has an office. You can mail for the small claim forms, complete and file by the mail. You will receive a date where you have to appear.
Q. Would I have to be present in a court in New York if the lawsuit went to trial?
A. Yes.
