To sue for more than $35,000, you must go to [http://www.courts.gov.bc.ca/supreme_court/ BC Supreme Court]. There are fast track options in BC Supreme Court: a summary trial or “fast track litigation”. It’s wise to get legal advice before suing in Supreme Court, as the rules are more complex and the process is more expensive.
