Re: Small claims lawsuit

I never know if these types of questions are jokes or not. You want to file a lawsuit over $103? Well, if you are serious, you can go to your local district justice, but in Philadelphia I would bet that the cost to file the lawsuit is more than $103. While court costs do become part of the lawsuit, that only entitles you to a judgment in that amount if you win. There is no guarantee of payment even if you win.
