The Federation provides a Beis Horo’oh for small claims.
Claims brought before the Beis Horo’oh must meet the following criteria:
- Claims must not exceed £5000
- Each side is required to pay a nominal fee of £75 (for claims above £2,000 the fee will be £100). This assumes the session will last no longer than one hour.
- The case will be heard by a single Dayan – in most cases this will be Dayan Y D Hool of the Federation Beis Din
- Parties may not bring a To’en Rabbonim or a professional representative but are required to represent themselves
- Before attending a shtar borerus (arbitration agreement) must be signed – click here to download the form
- A brief written psak (giving the ruling but no detailed reasoning) will normally be presented to the parties within 72 hours
