Exclusions
Small claims exclusions in Ireland
Debt, personal injury, insurance, leasing, Government claims, and other disputes that usually need another route.
Check your dispute first
Answer a few questions to see your options before writing your complaint.
Check your optionsIrish small claims is useful, but it is narrow. Debt, personal injury, insurance, hire purchase, leasing, and most rental deposit disputes are common exclusions.
A fast no is useful. If your dispute belongs elsewhere, use the right route before spending energy on a small-claims path that may be rejected.
