HOW TO SUE FOR AN AMOUNT OF MONEY UP TO $15,000
(SPECIAL CIVIL COMPLAINT AND SUMMONS – DC CASES ONLY)
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PACKET?
You can use this packet if a person or company owes you up to $15,000 and you want to sue that person
or company. Some reasons you might sue a person or company are:
• a person or company did not comply with a written or oral contract;
• you paid money as a down payment and want it returned;
• your property was damaged in a motor vehicle accident;
• defendant damaged or lost your property;
• merchandise you bought is defective;
• work you paid for was faulty or not completed;
• you want to be paid for work you did;
• someone wrote you a bad check; or
• you gave a landlord a security deposit that was not returned.
You cannot use this form for:
• a claim for child support and/or alimony; or
• a claim arising from a probate matter, a prerogative writ action or a claim for
equitable relief.
NOTE: If you believe you are entitled to more than $15,000, your case should be filed in the Law Division,
Civil Part of the Superior Court. Even if you are suing for more than $15,000, you can still sue in
Special Civil, but you give up your right to recover any amount over $15,000. The additional money
cannot be claimed later in a separate lawsuit.
You must be at least 18 to file your claim. If you are under 18, your parent or guardian has to file the
claim for you. A corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership may not file a
complaint for more than $3,000 without a lawyer; such a complaint may be filed only by a lawyer
representing the corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership.
NOTE: These materials have been prepared by the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts for use by self-
represented litigants. The guides, instructions and forms will be periodically updated as necessary to reflect
current New Jersey statutes and court rules. The most recent version of theforms will be available at the
county courthouse or on the Judiciary’s Internet site (www.njcourtsonline.com). However, you are
ultimately responsible for the content of your court papers.
Completed forms are to be submitted to the county where you are filing your case. A list of
addresses to locate the appropriate Superior Court Office to file your papers is provided at the end of
the packet.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE YOU REPRESENT YOURSELF IN COURT
TRY TO GET A LAWYER
The court system can be confusing and it is a
good idea to get a lawyer if you can. If you
cannot afford a lawyer, you may contact the
legal services program in your county to see if
you qualify for free legal services. The
telephone number can be found in your local
yellow pages under Legal Aid or Legal Services.
If you do not qualify for free legal services and
need help in locating an attorney, you can
contact the bar association in your county. Their
telephone number can also be found in your
local yellow pages. Most county bar
associations have a Lawyer Referral Service.
The County Bar Lawyer Referral Service can
supply you with the names of attorneys in your
area willing to handle your particular type of
case and who may sometimes consult with you
at a reduced fee.
There are also a variety of organizations of
minority lawyers throughout New Jersey, as well
as organizations of lawyers who handle
specialized types of cases. Ask your county
court staff for a list of lawyer referral services
that include these organizations.
WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT IF YOU
REPRESENT YOURSELF
While you have the right to represent yourself in
court, you should not expect any special
treatment, help, or attention from the court. You
must still comply with the Rules of the Court,
even if you are not familiar with them. The
following is a list of some things the court staff
can and cannot do for you. Please read it
carefully before asking the court staff for help.
- We can explain and answer questions about
how the court works.
- We can tell you what the requirements are to
have your case considered by the court.
- We can give you some information from
your case file.
- We can provide you with samples of court
forms that are available.
- We can provide you with guidance on how
to fill out forms.
- We can usually answer questions about court
deadlines.
- We cannot give you legal advice. Only your
lawyer can give you legal advice.
- We cannot tell you whether or not you
should bring your case to court.
- We cannot give you an opinion about what
will happen if you bring your case to court.
- We cannot recommend a lawyer, but we can
provide you with the telephone number of a
local lawyer referral service.
- We cannot talk to the judge for you about
what will happen in your case.
- We cannot let you talk to the judge outside
of court.
- We cannot change an order issued by a
judge.
KEEP COPIES OF ALL PAPERS
Make and keep for yourself copies of all
completed forms and any canceled checks,
money orders, sales receipts, bills, contract
estimates, letters, leases, photographs, and other
important documents that relate to your case.
Bring all documents to court if you are notified
that an appearance is necessary.

How to Sue for an Amount of Money Up To $15,000
(Special Civil Complaint and Summons- DC Case Only)
The numbered steps listed below tell you about what forms you will need to fill out and
what to do with them.
Each form must be typed or printed clearly on 8 1/2 X 11” white paper only. Forms may
not be filed on a different size or color paper.
STEP 1: Fill out the SPECIAL CIVIL
COMPLAINT (FORM A)
The Special Civil Complaint tells the
court and the defendant the facts of the case
and the amount of money that you want
from the defendant.
STEP 2: Fill out page 2 of the SPECIAL
CIVIL PART SUMMONS (FORM B)
The Special Civil Part Summons is
delivered by the court to the defendant in the
case (the person or company being sued). It
puts the defendant on notice that you have
filed a complaint against them. It also
informs the defendant of the steps he or she
must take to dispute the claim. Attach page
2 of the summons form and the filing fee
(see Step 4) to the complaint before mailing
or delivering your papers to the court.
Page 1 of the summons is a pre-printed
form that the court will attach when it
delivers the summons to the defendant.
STEP 3: Be sure that the papers can get
to the defendant
It is very important that you provide the
court with the defendant’s correct address.
After you file your papers with the court, the
court will mail or deliver the papers to the
defendant using the address you gave the
court. If the defendant cannot be found at
the address you give the court, Service of
Process is considered incomplete and the
court will ask you for another address they
can use to contact the defendant. If the
address is correct and the defendant is
served with the papers and answers the
complaint, then the court will notify both
sides of a trial date.
STEP 4: Attach the filing fee
Make a check or money order payable to
the Treasurer, State of New Jersey. See page
6 for more information on how to compute
the filing fee.
STEP 5: Where to file the SPECIAL
CIVIL COMPLAINT (FORM A)
The complaint must be mailed or
delivered to the Office of the Special Civil
Part Clerk in the county where at least one
defendant lives or where the defendant’s
business is located. If there is more than one
defendant, the complaint can be filed in the
county where any of the defendants live or
are located. If none of the defendants live or
are located in New Jersey, the complaint
must be filed where the claim happened.
STEP 6: Check your completed forms
Check your forms and make sure they
are complete. Remove all instruction sheets.
Make sure you have signed the forms where
you are asked to sign them.
You must have all of the following items
in this order:
Complaint (FORM A)
Summons (FORM B)
Filing fee in the form of check or
money order. Please do not mail
cash. You may however use cash if
you pay in person, but keep the
receipt you get from the court staff
for your records.
DC - Complaint - $15,000 Limit
Revised 11/2007, CN 10541 - English (How To Sue For An Amount Of Money Up To $15,000) page 5 of 14
STEP 7: Mail or deliver your package of
completed papers to the court.
You can deliver your papers to the court
in person or you can mail them. If you mail
the papers, we recommend that you use
certified mail, return receipt requested. This
will provide you with a green receipt card
that can serve as proof that you mailed the
papers. Your post office can tell you how to
send certified mail, return receipt requested.
• Make at least 4 copies of the entire
packet of completed forms.
• Mail or deliver to the court the original
and 2 copies of all the forms if there is
one defendant, plus two more copies for
each additional defendant.
• Keep one copy of the entire packet for
your own records.
STEP 8: The defendant may file an
ANSWER
After you file your papers with the court and
Service of Process is complete, the
defendant has the opportunity to dispute the
claims in your complaint by filing and
serving a written answer. A court date will
not be set unless the defendant mails or
delivers a written answer, along with the
proper fees, to the Clerk of the Special Civil
Part within 35 days from the date the
complaint was served on the defendant. If
the defendant does not file an answer within
the time allowed, you may be entitled to a
default judgment once you submit your
proofs to the court.
STEP 9: You will get a court date for
your trial
After you file your papers with the court,
and assuming that the Service of Process is
complete and the defendant files an answer,
the court will send both sides a notice which
tells each side the date, time and the place
they must go to. You must appear in court
on this date; if you do not, your case may be
dismissed. If the other party does not appear,
the court may find the other party to be in
default. If you cannot make your court date
because of circumstances beyond your
control, you must contact the other side and
the court in advance and request that your
trial date be rescheduled.
Bring all the evidence (documents,
photographs and witnesses) you need to
prove your case with you to court on your
court date. A witness’ written statement,
even if under oath, is not admissible in
court. Only actual testimony in court of
what the witness heard or saw will be
allowed. Prepare your questions in advance.
Even if the defendant does not appear in
court, the judge may schedule a Proof
Hearing at which you must present all
documents that support your case such as
canceled checks, money orders, sales
receipts, bills, contracts, estimates, leases,
letters, photographs, and other documents
proving your claim.
If you need an interpreter or an
accommodation for a disability for your
trial, please contact the court before your
trial date.

SUMMONS AND RETURN OF SERVICE
THE SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY
Law Division, Special Civil Part
SUMMONS
YOU ARE BEING SUED!
IF YOU WANT THE COURT TO HEAR YOUR SIDE OF THIS LAWSUIT, YOU MUST
FILE A WRITTEN ANSWER WITH THE COURT WITHIN 35 DAYS OR THE COURT
MAY RULE AGAINST YOU. READ ALL OF THIS PAGE AND THE NEXT PAGE
FOR DETAILS.
In the attached complaint, the person suing you (who is called the plaintiff) briefly tells the court
his or her version of the facts of the case and how much money he or she claims you owe. You are
cautioned that if you do not answer the complaint, you may lose the case automatically, and the
court may give the plaintiff what the plaintiff is asking for, plus interest and court costs. If a judgment is
entered against you, a Special Civil Part Officer may seize your money, wages or personal property to pay
all or part of the judgment and the judgment is valid for 20 years.
You can do one or more of the following things:
1. Answer the complaint. An answer form is available at the Office of the Clerk of the Special
Civil Part. The answer form shows you how to respond in writing to the claims stated in the complaint.
If you decide to answer, you must send it to the court’s address on page 2 and pay a $15 filing fee with
your answer and send a copy of the answer to the plaintiff’s lawyer or to the plaintiff if the plaintiff does
not have a lawyer. Both of these steps must be done within 35 days (including weekends) from the date
you were “served” (sent the complaint). That date is noted on the next page.
AND/OR
2. Resolve the dispute. You may wish to contact the plaintiff’s lawyer, or the plaintiff if the
plaintiff does not have a lawyer, to resolve this dispute. You do not have to do this unless you want to.
This may avoid the entry of a judgment and the plaintiff may agree to accept payment arrangements,
which is something that cannot be forced by the court. Negotiating with the plaintiff or the plaintiff’s
attorney will not stop the 35-day period for filing an answer unless a written agreement is reached and
filed with the court.
AND/OR
3. Get a lawyer. If you cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, free legal advice may be available by
contacting Legal Services at ________________. If you can afford to pay a lawyer but do not know one,
you may call the Lawyer Referral Services of your local county Bar Association at _______________.
If you need an interpreter or an accommodation for a disability, you must notify the court immediately.

EL TRIBUNAL SUPERIOR DE NUEVA JERSEY
División de Derecho, Parte Civil Especial
NOTIFICACIÓN DE DEMANDA
¡LE ESTÁN HACIENDO JUICIO!
SI UD. QUIERE QUE EL TRIBUNAL VEA SU VERSIÓN DE ESTA CAUSA, TIENE
QUE PRESENTAR UNA CONTESTACIÓN ESCRITA EN EL TRIBUNAL DENTRO DE
UN PERÍODO DE 35 DÍAS O ES POSIBLE QUE EL TRIBUNAL DICTAMINE EN SU
CONTRA. PARA LOS DETALLES, LEA TODA ESTA PÁGINA Y LA QUE SIGUE.
En la demanda adjunta, la persona que le está haciendo juicio (que se llama el demandante) da al
juez su versión breve de los hechos del caso y la suma de dinero que alega que Ud. le debe. Se le
advierte que si Ud. no contesta la demanda, es posible que pierda la causa automáticamente y que el
tribunal dé al demandante lo que pide más intereses y costas. Si se registra una decisión en su contra, es
posible que un Oficial de la Parte Civil Especial (Special Civil Part Officer) embargue su dinero, salario o
bienes muebles para pagar toda o parte de la adjudicación, y la adjudicación tiene 20 años de vigencia.
Usted puede escoger entre las siguientes opciones:
1. Contestar la demanda. Puede conseguir un formulario de contestación en la Oficina del
Secretario de la Parte Civil Especial. El formulario de contestación le indica cómo responder por escrito a
las alegaciones expuestas en la demanda. Si Ud. decide contestar, tiene que enviar su contestación a la
dirección del tribunal que figura en la página 2, pagar un gasto de iniciación de la demanda de $15 dólares
y enviar una copia de la contestación al abogado del demandante, o al demandante si el demandante no

2. Resolver la disputa. Posiblemente Ud. quiera comunicarse con el abogado del demandante, o
el demandante si el demandante no tiene abogado, para resolver esta disputa. No tiene que hacerlo si no
quiere. Esto puede evitar que se registre una adjudicación y puede ser que el demandante esté de acuerdo
con aceptar un convenio de pago lo cual es algo que el juez no puede imponer. Negociaciones con el
demandante o el abogado del demandante no suspenderán el término de 35 días para registrar una
contestación a menos que se llegue a un acuerdo escrito que se registra en el tribunal.
ADEMÁS, O DE LO CONTRARIO, UD. PUEDE
3. Conseguir un abogado. Si Ud. no tiene dinero para pagar a un abogado, es posible que pueda
