County Court deals with money-only claims up to value £100,000 unless damages are sought for personal injuries.

• A. £50,000
• B. £500,000
• C. £100,000
• D. £1,000,000

Answer: (C)

Understanding where a claim should be started hinges on the court’s monetary jurisdiction. For money-only claims in the County Court, the limit is £100,000. This ceiling applies to standard money claims unless the claim involves damages for personal injuries, which is noted as a separate consideration. So the maximum value that the County Court can handle for such money claims is £100,000. The other amounts do not represent this cap, either being below it or exceeding it and typically moving the case to a different part of the system if the value is higher.
