This form is useful in cases where the amount involved does not exceed P100,000.00. It is important to note that in small claims cases, a lawyer is not necessary, except when he is the plaintiff or the defendant. In case the plaintiff or defendant cannot personally attend to his case, he cannot be represented by a lawyer. The representative must be related to him or his next of kin.
