Before you rush off to sue every Tom, Dick and Harry, take note that only the following types of claim are eligible:
- A claim in respect of goods or services bought for private use from someone selling them in the course of a business (consumer claim).
- A claim in respect of minor damage to property (but excluding personal injuries).
- A claim in respect of the non-return of a rent deposit in relation to a holiday premises (actions relating to rent deposits for places of residence must be brought to the Private Residential Tenancies Board.)

Dear Sir, Madam
i am writing to you to ask does the small claims court deal with this service,
For example a conservation report done by a person that was to be qualified to do this job that he was hired to do and when it came to the council they said this person was not qualified to this, and now i cannot get any good of this person involved. i would be very grateful if you could let me know if the small claims court deals with this matter so i can lodge this with the small claims court.
