Exceptions and details
Heard in the Circuit Court, District Division; limit is exclusive of interest and costs and excludes actions involving title to real estate (RSA 503:1, I). The $10,000 limit has applied since July 1, 2015, and applies to both people and businesses. Claims over $5,000 require mandatory mediation (unless moved to jury trial); if the claim exceeds $1,500 the defendant may request a jury trial, which transfers the case to Superior Court (RSA 503:1, II–IV). Also confirmed on the Judicial Branch small-claims page: https://www.courts.nh.gov/our-courts/circuit-court/district-division/small-claims.
3 years from the act or omission for personal actions, with a statutory discovery rule: if the injury and its cause could not reasonably have been discovered, the 3 years run from discovery. Applies 'except as otherwise provided by law'. Last amended 1986 per the RSA source note.
