This Big Win for Civil Debt Litigation Could be Contagious, with Tim Browatzke

Overdue Advice: Cash Flow & Debt Collection Strategies to Grow Your Business

Small Claims Court just became bigger, at least in one jurisdiction. In the Canadian province of Alberta, the limit for civil litigation in the Provincial Court system has recently doubled from CAD $50,000 to $100,000. This means Albertans and agents like MetCredit can go to court without a lawyer in the province to collect much larger debts, benefitting from reduced costs and shorter wait times. Tim Browatzke is MetCredit’s Manager of Corporate Integrity and Legal Strategies, and he joins host Bryn Griffiths to talk about why Alberta's provincial court claim limit increase is a significant move — and one that other provinces and states may soon follow.
