Re: Small Claims

If the action is on the small claims schedule, then you may (as the plaintiff) withdraw the petition and re-file in another jurisdiction. You may be required to re-file in regular court and not small claims (there are geographic restrictions on the authority of small claims court).

If you are the defendant, then you may be required to defend in the original small claims court.
