Which track is used for claims up to £10,000?

• A. Small claims
• B. Fast track
• C. Intermediate
• D. Multi Track

Answer: (A)

Low-value civil disputes are allocated to the small claims track. This track is designed for simple, quick, and cost-effective resolution of claims up to £10,000. It uses simplified procedures, has limited scope for legal costs, and emphasizes speed and accessibility, often encouraging settlement without a full, formal trial.

If the claim were valued higher, it would move to a different track: the fast track handles mid-range sums with a stricter timetable and typically one-day trials, while the multi-track covers higher-value or more complex cases. The intermediate option isn’t part of the current track system.
