Q: Is there any way tomanage a Small Claims Court Sue by e-mail. I have prove that I was deceived by a shipper - I want to sue for 8000 shekel.
Thanks,
Betty Mendlovic.

A:Dear Betty,
Since I am not a lawyer or expert in the court system (thankfully, I have very little experience with them...) I am probably not the best person to answer this question.

I would expect you need to be present on the day your case is called. You will usually have several months notice so you can plan a trip. If your case is well based (which only the judge will decide), your trip will be paid for when you win.

When you put together your case in small claims court, you should clearly outline your claim with supporting documents. Put together a folder of these documents and clearly label each one with a letter or number so you can easily refer to a particular document.

You should prepare 3 copies of this folder, one for you, the judge and your evil opponent.

I have served as a expert witness in court before and would be happy to review your case and supporting documents to see if I can help you.

Good luck and all the best,
Shmuel
