    Use dmy dates date April 2011 The European small claims procedure is a small claims procedure that took effect on 1 January 2009 across the European Union for dealing with cross border claims under the Brussels regime up to a value of 2,000 Euro. Small claims procedures provide a middle ground between formal litigation and ADR, where disputes involving small value claims can be resolved in courts faster, cheaply, and less formally. The main limitation of small claims procedures is that they are restricted to particular jurisdictions. In order to overcome this limitation the European Commission has produced a regulation for a European Small Claims Procedure ESCP . ref Regulation 861 2007 EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 July 2007 establishing a European Small Claims Procedure O.
