Frequently asked questions about civil litigation on the North Shore
How much does it cost to expect for a civil dispute on the North Shore?
The North Shore includes several judicial districts (Terrebonne, Joliette, Saint-Jérôme). The fees depend on the specific locality and the complexity of the case. Consult with an attorney in the relevant district for a personalized estimate.
What limitation period applies to civil actions?
The general statute of limitations is 3 years from the date of the damage. On the North Shore, as everywhere in Quebec, respecting this deadline is crucial so as not to lose your right of action.
Which court has jurisdiction according to my locality on the North Shore?
It depends on your judicial district. For small claims (up to $15,000), it is the Court of Quebec. Between $15,000 and $85,000, it’s also the Court of Quebec. Beyond that, it is the Superior Court of the relevant district (Terrebonne, Joliette or Saint-Jérôme).
Is mediation effective on the North Shore?
Yes, mediation is very effective. On the North Shore, many disputes are settled through mediation, which is faster, cheaper and less confrontational than a traditional trial.
