Saskatchewan Small Claims Court Forms: Every Form Explained

Saskatchewan's Small Claims Court uses 13 official forms — Form A through Form M — prescribed under The Small Claims Regulations, 2017. You won't need all of them, but knowing which ones apply to your situation prevents a wasted trip to the registry.

The Complete Form List

The Forms You'll Actually Use as a Plaintiff

For a standard claim, a plaintiff typically uses Form A and Form E or F; Form K is used if a witness needs to be subpoenaed.

Form A — Summons

This is your claim. It starts the action. The Summons requires numbered paragraphs covering:

1. Your full name, address, and contact information
2. The defendant's full legal name and address
3. A chronological account of what happened — the agreement, the breach, the loss
4. Confirmation that you demanded payment and were refused
5. An itemized list of what you're claiming — principal, interest, filing fee, service costs

Keep the language factual. Saskatchewan Small Claims Court emphasizes substance over legal formality. You file it with the court registry along with the C$100 filing fee.

Form E or F — Affidavit of Service

After you serve the defendant, you need to prove it. Use Form E if you served by personal hand delivery, or Form F if you used Canada Post Registered Mail (attach the delivery confirmation). Swear the form before a Commissioner for Oaths — court registry clerks do this at no charge.

Form K — Subpoena (if needed)

If a witness won't attend voluntarily, request this from the court clerk (C$10). You must also pay the witness C$15/day plus travel allowance. Serve it with enough lead time before trial.

How to Write Form A (Summons)

The courts publish sample claims for common dispute types on sasklawcourts.ca — accounts receivable, poor workmanship, property damage. Use these as structural models, not templates to copy verbatim.

Tips for a strong Form A:

• Use the defendant's legal name. If suing a business, run an ISC Corporate Registry search first. "Bob's Plumbing" isn't good enough — you need "Robert Smith operating as Bob's Plumbing" or "12345 Saskatchewan Ltd."
• Be chronological. Start with the agreement, move through performance (or non-performance), and end with the amount owed.
• Itemize the claim amount. Break out principal, interest, and disbursements separately. If claiming contractual interest, cite the rate and the contract clause. If claiming statutory interest, reference The Pre-judgment Interest Act.
• Stay factual. Don't argue your case in the Form A. State what happened and what you're owed.

Where to Get the Forms

Official forms are available as free PDF downloads from sasklawcourts.ca under the Small Claims Court section. The court also offers sample filled-in forms showing how to complete Form A for different claim types.

Forms are paper-based — Saskatchewan does not offer e-filing for self-represented Small Claims litigants. You can print the PDFs, fill them in, and submit in person or by mail.

Tracking What You've Filed

Between the Summons, affidavits, subpoenas, and evidence, it's easy to lose track. A simple filing log helps:

Our Saskatchewan Small Claims Filing Guide includes a filing tracker, Form A drafting guide with worked examples, and a service documentation checklist — the organizational layer that the free court forms don't provide.
