: BRB's Public Records BlogWashington State Increases Lower Court Civil Limits
Effective July 1, 2008, the maximum claim amount that can be heard at the limited jurisdiction District Court level will increase from $50,000 to $75,000. The increase will not take place at the Superior Court level; the minimum claim amount will remain the same at $50,000. This means that cases can be filed at either court if they involve over $50,000 but under $75,000. In addition, the small claims limit at the District Court will increase from $4,000 to $5,000.
To view a copy of the bill, go to www1.leg.wa.gov/legislature and use the Bill Search tab to enter 2557.
