What if Set-Off Is Involved?]]></title><description><![CDATA[By: Enze Zhang, Licensed Paralegal Ontario Small Claims Court now has a monetary limit of $50,000, excluding interest and costs. For many claims, this means that if your actual loss is higher than $50,000, you must either waive the excess amount or proceed in the Superior Court of Justice. However, there is an important distinction where counterclaims and set-off are involved. In a regular one-sided claim, the plaintiff cannot simply claim $80,000 in Small Claims Court and ask the court to...]]></description><link>https://www.claritylegal.ca/post/can-you-only-recover-50-000-in-ontario-small-claims-court-what-if-set-off-is-involved</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0e6cd39209fbd4f4f33dda</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:25:06 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Enze Z</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[在安省小额钱债法院，最多只能要回 $50,000 吗？如果双方互相欠钱怎么办？]]></title><description><![CDATA[重点说明 安省 Small Claims Court 现在的索赔上限是 $50,000。 一般来说，如果你的索赔超过 $50,000，你不能在小额钱债法院直接要求超过部分。 如果你选择在小额钱债法院起诉，通常代表你愿意放弃超过 $50,000 的金额。 但是，如果案件中有 反诉，counterclaim，并且双方都说对方欠自己钱，情况可能不同。 在有反诉的情况下，法院可能会先计算双方各自应得的金额，再进行抵销。 抵销后，法院真正判给一方的净金额，才是判断是否超过小额钱债法院上限的重点。 这个原则主要适用于有反诉的案件，不适用于普通单方索赔。 如果你想主张抵销，最好在 defence 和 defendant’s claim 中清楚写出来。 小额钱债法院的基本金额上限 在安省，Small Claims Court 可以处理金额不超过 $50,000 的民事索赔。这个金额通常不包括利息和诉讼费用。 如果你的实际损失是 $70,000，但你想在小额钱债法院起诉，你通常只能要求 $50,000。超过的 $20,000 一般需要放弃。否则，你可能需要去 Superior Court 起诉。...]]></description><link>https://www.claritylegal.ca/zh/post/%E5%9C%A8%E5%AE%89%E7%9C%81%E5%B0%8F%E9%A2%9D%E9%92%B1%E5%80%BA%E6%B3%95%E9%99%A2%EF%BC%8C%E6%9C%80%E5%A4%9A%E5%8F%AA%E8%83%BD%E8%A6%81%E5%9B%9E-50-000-%E5%90%97%EF%BC%9F%E5%A6%82%E6%9E%9C%E5%8F%8C%E6%96%B9%E4%BA%92%E7%9B%B8%E6%AC%A0%E9%92%B1%E6%80%8E%E4%B9%88%E5%8A%9E%EF%BC%9F</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0e6c719209fbd4f4f33d0f</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:23:04 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Enze Z</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Are “No Refund” Clauses Always Upheld in Court?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Key Points A “no refund” clause does not always end the dispute. Courts usually start with the contract wording, but they also look at fairness, performance, loss, and the surrounding facts. A business may have a stronger case if the clause was clear, agreed to, and connected to a real loss. A customer may have a stronger case if the clause was hidden, unclear, unfair, or used after the business failed to provide the service. In consumer transactions, Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, 2002...]]></description><link>https://www.claritylegal.ca/post/are-no-refund-clauses-always-upheld-in-court</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0ccd8ad2a72baa2ffcbcdf</guid><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2026 20:52:55 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Enze Z</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can a Home Buyer Cancel a Purchase if Damage or Defects Are Found Before Closing?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Key Points A buyer should not assume they can walk away from a signed Agreement of Purchase and Sale. The first step is to review the purchase agreement and any inspection, insurance, repair, or final walkthrough clauses. If the damage is serious, the buyer may have options such as demanding repair, negotiating an abatement, delaying closing, or seeking legal advice about termination. If the defect existed before closing and was hidden or misrepresented, the buyer may have a stronger claim....]]></description><link>https://www.claritylegal.ca/post/can-a-home-buyer-cancel-a-purchase-if-damage-or-defects-are-found-before-closing</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f7cea85caf4ed272b882a3</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 22:40:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Enze Z</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[房屋交割前发现损坏或缺陷，买家可以取消买卖合同吗？]]></title><description><![CDATA[重点说明 签了买卖合同后，买家不能随便反悔。 第一步应查看买卖合同中的验房、保险、维修、交割和房屋状态条款。 如果损坏严重，买家可能可以要求维修、降价、延迟交割，或咨询是否有解除合同的基础。 如果缺陷在交割前已经存在，而且卖家隐瞒或误导，买家的主张可能更强。 如果问题较小，直接拒绝交割风险很高。 法院通常会看被告行为实际造成了什么损失，而不是只看维修报价。 买家应立即保存证据，并在采取行动前联系自己的地产律师。 买家最常遇到的问题 很多买家在交割前才发现房屋有问题。常见情况包括漏水、发霉、火灾损坏、水浸、结构问题、地下室潮湿，或卖家搬走后才显露出来的损坏。 买家最直接的问题是：我还能不能取消这个交易？ 答案通常取决于事实。签署后的 Agreement of Purchase and Sale 是有法律约束力的合同。买家不能因为发现一个问题，就自动取消交易。可是，如果缺陷严重、隐蔽、被卖家误导，或影响合同中承诺的房屋状态，买家可能有法律选择。 先看买卖合同 买家首先应查看 Agreement of Purchase and Sale。合同中可能有关于验房、保险风险、交割前损坏、固定...]]></description><link>https://www.claritylegal.ca/zh/post/%E6%88%BF%E5%B1%8B%E4%BA%A4%E5%89%B2%E5%89%8D%E5%8F%91%E7%8E%B0%E6%8D%9F%E5%9D%8F%E6%88%96%E7%BC%BA%E9%99%B7%EF%BC%8C%E4%B9%B0%E5%AE%B6%E5%8F%AF%E4%BB%A5%E5%8F%96%E6%B6%88%E4%B9%B0%E5%8D%96%E5%90%88%E5%90%8C%E5%90%97%EF%BC%9F</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f7ce51384eb6d61abc598f</guid><pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 22:38:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Enze Z</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[打现金工被无理辞退，能申请补偿吗]]></title><description><![CDATA[重点说明 打现金工不代表你没有劳动权益。 老板用现金发工资，也不代表可以随便辞退员工。 是否能申请补偿，重点看你是否属于雇员。 没有书面合同，也可能存在雇佣关系。 被辞退后，你可能可以追讨欠薪、假期工资、解雇通知金或其他补偿。 你应尽快保存工作记录、聊天记录、转账记录、排班表、工时记录和证人信息。 不要因为老板说“你是现金工”就放弃维权。 打现金工是否受法律保护？ 在安省，现金发工资本身并不一定违法。安省就业标准指引说明，工资可以用现金、支票或直接存款等方式支付。重点不是老板用什么方式付款，而是你和老板之间是否存在雇佣关系。 如果你按照老板安排的时间上班，接受老板管理，使用老板提供的工具，按照老板要求完成工作，你很可能属于雇员。即使没有书面合同，没有工资单，或者老板一直用现金付款，也不代表你自动失去《Employment Standards Act, 2000》下的基本权利。 被无理辞退是否可以申请补偿？ 可以，但要看具体情况。 在安省，雇主并不一定需要给出理由才能终止雇佣关系。但是，如果员工符合条件，雇主通常需要提前通知，或者支付相当于通知期工资的解雇通知金。安省政府的就业标准...]]></description><link>https://www.claritylegal.ca/zh/post/%E6%89%93%E7%8E%B0%E9%87%91%E5%B7%A5%E8%A2%AB%E6%97%A0%E7%90%86%E8%BE%9E%E9%80%80%EF%BC%8C%E8%83%BD%E7%94%B3%E8%AF%B7%E8%A1%A5%E5%81%BF%E5%90%97</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f4ccce90b4365cb86064bb</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 15:55:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/36b1bc_a3e36973a19b4139873ff2ff84e1733c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_941,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Enze Z</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can a Landlord Enter Your Rental Unit in Ontario?]]></title><description><![CDATA[April 28, 2026 Key Takeaways: Tenants have the right to privacy in their rental unit. A landlord cannot enter whenever they want. In most cases, the landlord must give at least 24 hours’ written notice before entering. The notice should clearly state the reason for entry, the date, and the time. The entry time should usually be between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Tenants should not unreasonably block a lawful entry when proper notice is given.
