CONCILIATION COURT

Conciliation Court is an option for people or businesses in Minnesota to bring a lawsuit against another party when the claim is less than $15,000. A lawsuit brought in conciliation court involves a party who is suing another person or entity and is referred to as the Plaintiff. The plaintiff is responsible for drafting, filing and serving a summons and complaint on the party being sued [the Defendant(s)].

​

Lawsuits in conciliation court are less formal than District Court. Conciliation Court cases have lower filing fees, present opportunities for settlement, and provide a right to both parties to demand a contested hearing (a trial) before a judge on the merits and facts of the case.

​

While these actions are less formal, there are still legal formalities that apply to ensure the rights of either party are upheld.
