Opposing party in a small claims case is requesting information that was already provided. What steps should be taken to ensure they have received all the necessary information?
Answer: In a case where an attorney from a company is demanding additional documents and information after a small claims court filing, the documents that were originally filed with the court, such as the statement of claim, should have been served to the defendant, and thus they should have access to everything that was filed. If the opposing attorney needs further documents or information, they can make a formal discovery request through the court.
