Frequently Asked Questions

Can I claim for diminished value in Canadian small claims?
Yes. Diminished value — the reduction in market value of property even after repair — is a recoverable head of damages in Canadian courts. You will need evidence of the pre-incident value and the reduced post-repair value, such as an appraisal or market comparables.
How do courts calculate property damage in Canada?
Canadian courts generally award the lesser of: (1) the cost of repair, or (2) the replacement value less depreciation. If repair costs exceed replacement value, courts typically award replacement value.
Do I need a repair estimate to sue for property damage?
You should have at least one written repair estimate. Courts require evidence to quantify your damages. Two or more estimates strengthen your claim significantly.
