Question
Greetings,

I am currently at the investigative stage of going to small claims court to seek a resolution to a dispute with a limousine company.

There was no written contract. I have several emails outlining the services required and acknowledgment from the limo company. I also have witnesses who can verify my version of events. I want to be able to present emails/testimonies in a way that will be acceptable to the judge.

Briefly:
- The limo driving bride's sister from ceremony to reception refused to go back and only did so when bride's sister paid them 150 dollars.
- The limo was supposed to come pick people up at 10:30pm, they did not show up and did not answer calls until 11:45.

Thank You for your time,
Max

Answer
In Ontario Small Claims Court you must provide a Witness list.
It is wise for you to get written statements from your witness and have them signed in case they do not show up at trial.
Also any documents you intend to introduce must be provided to the court and the other side prior to trial.
Go to the Ontario Gov't site and search small claims court there is  very useful info there.
