THERE ARE NO APPEALS IN SMALL CLAIMS CASES.
Warning—you do not have the right to appeal the decision of the hearing officer or the justice of the peace in a
small claims court. If you wish to preserve your right to appeal, you may have your case transferred to the
justice court pursuant to § 22-504, subsection A, Arizona Revised Statutes, if you request such transfer at least
ten days prior to the day of the scheduled hearing.
DEFENDANT’S ANSWER
You must file with this court a written answer to the complaint within 20 days after service and deliver a copy to
the plaintiff. If you do not file an answer, judgment may be entered against you for the full amount of the plaintiff’s
claim, plus the plaintiff’s court costs. You must pay a fee to the court to file an answer, although you may request
a waiver or deferral. The court will schedule a hearing date and hold a hearing within 60 days after you file your
answer.
