VPIRG urges major reforms in Vermont small claims court
Vermont Public Interest Research Group released a study by Barry Steinhardt showing small-claims courts function mainly as bill collectors for businesses and professionals rather than aiding private consumers. The report notes 93 percent of defendants are private individuals, long delays up to two years deter citizen litigants, and public awareness is minimal. It calls for reforms to improve access and reduce delays while preserving informal proceedings.
