Q: I am still owed $16,248 from a company for which I trade as a contractor. Fastest/Best way to sue for my money?
I trade futures as a contractor for a company. We have a contract in place. They owe me $16,248. They've paid me in the past, but suddenly everything is delayed and unresponsive, and I can never get a straight answer from these people. What is the fastest/best way to sue them for my funds if it comes to that?
A: Waive the amount over $15000.0 and file suit in Special Civil Part if you wish to sue for the full amount, you file in Superior Court. It will take years for a final resolution. In Special Civil Court, the matter will usually be heard in less than six months. Although Covid may cause a slight delay.
A: Waive the balance over $15000.00 and file suit in Special Civil Part.
