24A.200 Purpose. The purpose of KRS 24A.200 to 24A.360 is to improve the administration of justice in
small noncriminal cases, and make the judicial system more available and
comprehensible to the public; to simplify practice and procedure in the commencement,
handling, and trial of such cases in order that plaintiffs may bring actions in their own
behalf, and defendants may participate actively in the proceedings rather than default; to
provide an efficient and inexpensive forum with the objective of dispensing justice in a
speedy manner; and generally to promote the confidence of the public in the overall
judicial system by providing a forum for small claims. History: Created 1976 (1st Extra. Sess.) Ky. Acts ch. 9, sec. 2.
