Prepare a 'Statement of Claim' from completed draft to lodge in small claims court
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am Dyslexic. Require help editing my (poorly written) statement of claim
I have drafted 4.5 pages of simple text that need rewriting better grammar (see attached)
Template format instructions provided, (see link below)
Small claims court 'statement of claim' not to be heavy in legal terminology/jargon but in layman's
I just want the clam wording well formatted / written
MS Word with tracking required
Draft Attached

A statement of claim tells the court and the defendant/s what you are seeking and why you are seeking it.
Y
A statement of claim needs to:
list the full name, address and occupation of each party involved (for example, you as applicant and the respondent/s) on the coversheet
clearly set out the events or circumstances that caused you to make a claim (called the causes of action) with a separate paragraph for each event or circumstance
describe the causes of action in enough detail to allow the court and the defendant/s or respondent/s to understand specifically what you are alleging against each defendant or respondent (for example, you should refer to particular times, places, amounts etc but you do not need to describe the evidence that supports the facts you are alleging at this stage)
clearly say what you are seeking or what relief you are claiming (for instance, the amount of money you are seeking from the defendant) – note: the only relief available in judicial review proceedings is for a decision to be quashed and referred back to the original decision-maker, or for the decision to be quashed and substituted by a new decision of the High Court
if there is more than one cause of action, state the relief you are seeking immediately after each cause of action (a cause of action should only be included if you are seeking something as a result).
The information in a statement of claim should be specific, concise and relevant. It should not be vague or contain information that is not specifically relevant to what you are claiming.
