Seeking justice in Canada is expensive. Soon, it may not be worth taking a case to court unless more than
$100,000 is at stake, says Ron Slaght, a Toronto civil litigation lawyer.
A three-day civil trial is likely to cost at least $60,738 – more than the median family income in Canada of
$58,100. The estimate is conservative because trials often take longer than three days.
