Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Gail J.):
Small claims court - I too have been to small claims court and the problem is you normally sue in the country/district court where the defendant or his agent is located. I'm not sure how you would bring an action against a New York based company where the Defendant is located along with the subject property and where the contract was signed. Seems to me that New York would be the jurisdiction to sue in. Of course, if the defendant has an agent in your State ( ie, does business in your state), then that is a different matter.When you went to small claims court, were you suing someone doing business in or who resided in your own district/country? Course, New York law may be different.
