On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Federico Ast, founder of Kleros, to explore how decentralized justice systems can resolve both crypto-native and real-world disputes. We talk about the pilot with the Supreme Court in Mendoza, Argentina, where Kleros is helping small claims courts resolve cases faster and more transparently, and how this ties into a broader vision for digital governance using tools like proof of humanity and soulbound tokens. We also get into the philosophical and institutional implications of building a digital republic, and how blockchain can offer new models of legitimacy and truth-making. Show notes and more about Federico's work can be found via his Twitter: @federicoast (https://twitter.com/federicoast) and by joining the Kleros Telegram community.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:38 Claros Pilot Program in Mendoza02:00 Claros and the Legal System05:13 Personal Journey into Crypto07:16 Challenges and Innovations in Kleros18:02 Proof of Humanity and Soulbound Tokens26:54 Incentives and Proof of Humanity27:01 Interesting DAO Court Cases27:21 Prediction Markets and Disputes31:36 Customer Service and Dispute Resolution38:21 Governance and Online Communities40:02 Future of Civilization and Technology47:16 Bounties and Legal Systems49:06 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsDecentralized Justice Can Bridge the Gap Between Traditional Legal Systems and Web3: Federico Ast explains how Kleros functions as a decentralized dispute resolution system, offering a faster, more transparent, and more accessible alternative to conventional courts. In places like Mendoza, Argentina, Kleros has been piloted in collaboration with the Supreme Court to help resolve small claims that would otherwise take years, demonstrating how blockchain tools can support real-world judicial systems rather than replace them.Crypto Tools Are Most Powerful When Rooted in Real-World Problems: Ast emphasizes that his motivation for building in the blockchain space came not from hype but from firsthand experience with institutional inefficiencies in Argentina—such as corruption, inaccessible courts, and predatory financial systems. For him, crypto is a means to address these structural issues, not an end in itself. This grounded approach contrasts with many in the space who begin with the technology and try to retrofit a use case.Proof of Humanity and Soulbound Tokens Expand the Scope of Legitimate Governance: To address concerns over who gets to participate in decentralized juries, Kleros integrates identity verification through Proof of Humanity and uses non-transferable Soulbound Tokens to grant eligibility. These innovations allow communities—whether geographic, organizational, or digital—to define their own membership criteria, making decentralized courts feel more legitimate and relevant to participants.Decentralized Courts Can Handle Complex, Subjective Disputes: While early versions of Kleros were built for binary disputes (yes/no, Alice vs. Bob), real-world conflicts are often more nuanced. Over time, the platform evolved to support more flexible decision-making, including proportional fault, ranked outcomes, and variable payouts. This adaptability allows Kleros to handle a broader spectrum of disputes, including ambiguous or interpretive cases like those found in prediction markets.Incentive Systems Create New Forms of Justice Participation: Kleros applies game theory to create juror incentives that reward honest and aligned decisions. In systems like Proof of Humanity, it even gamifies fraud detection by offering financial bounties to those who uncover duplicate or fake identities. These economic incentives encourage voluntary participation in public-good functions such as identity verification and dispute resolution.Kleros Offers a Middle Ground Between Corporate Automation and Legal Bureaucracy: Many companies use rigid, automated systems to deny customer claims, leaving individuals with no real recourse except to complain on social media. Kleros offers an intermediate option: a transparent, peer-based adjudication process that can resolve disputes quickly. In pilot programs with fintech companies like Lemon, over 90% of users who lost their case still accepted the result and remained customers, showing how fairness in process can build trust even when outcomes disappoint.Digital Communities Are Becoming the New Foundations of Governance: Ast points out that many people now feel more connected to online communities than to their local or national institutions. Blockchain governance—enabled by tools like Kleros, Proof of Humanity, and decentralized IDs—allows these communities to build their own civil infrastructure. This marks a shift toward what he calls a “digital republic,” where shared values and participation, rather than geography, form the basis of collective decision-making and legitimacy.

Montrealer Graeme Bishops recently won a small claims court case after an appliance manufacturer refused to replace a part from his stove. He spoke to Andrew Carter about it.

Kirk Beck understanding of the “Power of Paper” has led to the usage of affidavits in many areas. ---   UPGRADE YOUR BRAIN UNLEASH AND USE YOUR UNIQUENESS   https://braingym.fitness/   ------------   Speaking Podcast Social Media / Coaching My Other Podcasts ⁠https://bio.link/podcaster⁠ ------------------ About my Guest: Kirk Beck is an educator for over 40 years and has dreamed of the day when he can “teach things that really matter.” His love for kids and mathematics led him to leave his work as an engineer with Shell Oil Company to devote his life to reaching kids with compassion and truth. Kirk has been an editorialist for a Gannett newspaper and served in the U.S. Army attaining the rank of Capt. Known by many as “the real Capt. Kirk”, he has dedicated his life to his Christian faith, his family and the search for the truth regarding America's Constitutional common law roots. His understanding of the “Power of Paper” has led to the usage of affidavits in many areas. Frederic Bastiat wrote in “The Law” that if the law can be kept to its proper boundaries, it makes no difference who is elected. It is the affidavit process that has led to his numerous successes in defending his own personal liberty from government encroachments. He is the author of “Parenting the Passive Rebel” and is in the process of publishing his second book: “Officer Hanson, Compassion in Blue.” It is this book that Kirk attempts to entertain, educate and elevate the souls of the readers to make the commitment of sacrifice for a more compassionate method for handling potentially violent situations.

Lana tries Blind Karaoke, the strangest thing in Small Claims Court, what female actor would make a good James Bond , World's best band is selling up and loads of laughs here

What is Small Claims Court? Let's start with the basics. Small Claims Court is a specialized court designed to handle minor civil disputes without the need for formal legal representation. It provides a simplified and less adversarial alternative to the traditional court system. The primary purpose is to offer a fair and accessible means for individuals and small businesses to resolve conflicts involving relatively small amounts of money. This includes cases like breach of contract, property damage, debt collection, consumer disputes, and minor personal injury claims. However, it's important to note some limitations. Each state has monetary limits on what can be claimed, typically ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. Complex legal matters like family law cases are generally not handled here. Additionally, jury trials are not available - cases are decided by a judge or hearing officer. Despite these limitations, Small Claims Court offers several key benefits over traditional courtrooms: Accessibility - The process is designed to be user-friendly for those without legal training. Cost-effectiveness - Filing fees are significantly lower compared to higher courts. Efficiency - Cases move through the system much faster than traditional litigation. Fairness - Both parties have an equal opportunity to present their side impartially. Filing a Small Claims Case So how do you actually use this system? The first step is gathering evidence to support your claim. This includes documents like contracts, invoices, receipts, photos, and witness statements. If needed, you can subpoena witnesses or evidence. Next is preparing the paperwork, which varies by location but typically includes a Statement of Claim that lays out the details of your dispute. The court clerk can provide the required forms and instructions. It's crucial to fill these out completely and accurately. Make sure you have the correct names, dates, amounts owed if applicable, and a clear description of what happened. Incomplete paperwork can delay or derail your case. You'll also need to understand the court fees for filing and serving notice. These are very affordable compared to higher courts - often just $30-100. However, make sure you budget for these costs. Additionally, pay close attention to all deadlines and timelines. You'll get a hearing date that you absolutely must attend, and there may be other cut-off dates for submitting evidence. The Court Hearing Now for the courtroom experience. While you aren't required to have an attorney in Small Claims Court, the proceedings are still formal. Showing up prepared is crucial. You'll want to review all documentation again and organize any physical evidence like photos. If you have witnesses, prepare them to present their testimony clearly. The court will follow a set procedure - the plaintiff (person filing the claim) presents their case first by giving an opening statement, questioning witnesses, and showing evidence. The defendant then has an opportunity to cross-examine the plaintiff's witnesses. The same process is then repeated with the defendant presenting their side of the story. The judge will analyze all the information presented and make a final ruling, typically that same day. Representing yourself effectively takes practice, but doesn't require extreme legal knowledge. The key is sticking to the relevant facts, avoiding excessive emotion, and letting your evidence tell the story. Be prepared for objections and cross-examination by having a clear narrative. If you're struggling, don't be afraid to ask the judge for clarification on the procedures or rules. They want to ensure fairness and will provide guidance to self-represented litigants. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

In this episode of "The Actor's Career Compass," host Martin Bentsen tackles an all-too-common issue actors face: not receiving payment for their work. A listener shares their predicament about an agency, now closed, that owes them for a commercial they filmed. Martin's advice is practical and thorough. He begins by emphasizing the importance of having all contracts and communications organized and accessible. He suggests sending a formal follow-up email to the agency, detailing the work done, the amount owed, and referencing the original contract, setting a clear deadline of 4 weeks for payment. Martin also recommends trying to contact former employees or management of the agency directly, both via email and phone, especially if initial emails go unanswered.He acknowledges that sometimes, despite best efforts, payment may still not be forthcoming. At this point, the actor must assess whether the amount owed is worth further pursuit. For smaller sums, it might be more pragmatic to write off the loss. However, for union projects, reaching out to the union for assistance is advised, as they often can help secure owed payments. For significant amounts, Martin suggests either small claims court or consulting with a lawyer, noting that many lawyers offer free initial consultations to explore options. This episode is a guide to navigating the tricky waters of payment in the acting industry, providing actionable steps for actors to follow to assert their rights and seek due compensation.For more insights and resources, you can reach Martin at martin@cityheadshots.com or learn more about his work at Martin Bentsen's website.

A NYPIRG report on Small Claims Court found that while nearly 80 percent of claimants said they had won their cases, nearly 75 percent of the winners failed to collect a cent of their judgments - worse than when NYPIRG did its first survey four decades ago. Attorney Russ Haven of NYPIRG discusses the report with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine. Small Claims Court cases include tenant-landlord disputes, homeowners' issues with contractors, wage theft, and consumer ripoffs.

Do you ever wonder what happens when a small claims lawsuit is baseless? Unlike in Supreme Court, judges cannot award costs to the successful party in Small Claims Court. Costs are intended to both cover some of the legal and other expenses related to a court case. They can also encourage the settlement of meritorious claims and discourage needless litigation.  There is, however, a Small Claims Court rule that permits a judge to award a penalty of up to 10% of the amount claimed if someone proceeds to trial with a claim that has no prospect of success. This 10% penalty can be applied to each party that has a baseless claim brought against them. On the show, a baseless claim made by the purchasers of a home against the couple who sold it is discussed, along with the resulting penalty imposed by the trial judge who concluded the plaintiffs were simply trying to get someone else to pay for renovations they decided to do. Also, on the show, a claim against Google and Apple is discussed. The small British Columbia company was unable to pursue a claim against the large tech companies alleging an overcharge for advertising because of an arbitration clause included in the online agreement to purchase the online ads. Large companies often insert arbitration clauses into user agreements to avoid being sued. Because arbitration can be expensive and requires claims to be made individually, rather than as a class action, these provisions can stop claims completely because they become too expensive to pursue individually. Lastly, we step into the world of murder cases, and autopsy photos. Because judges have an obligation to determine if a piece of evidence would be more prejudicial than probative of an issue in a case, they need to determine if gruesome autopsy photos should be shown to a jury. If, for example, the only issue in a murder case was whether the accused was the person who committed a murder, showing jurors disturbing photos of a dissected body would likely serve no purpose. If, however, the issue was whether the amount of force used in self-defence was excessive, it might be very important for jurors to see images of a fatal injury. In the case discussed, the number of photos was reduced by agreement, and the judge ordered that a particularly disturbing photograph that included late stages of the autopsy dissection be cropped to only show the injury at issue in the case. Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed. 

Small Claims Court just became bigger, at least in one jurisdiction. In the Canadian province of Alberta, the limit for civil litigation in the Provincial Court system has recently doubled from CAD $50,000 to $100,000. This means Albertans and agents like MetCredit can go to court without a lawyer in the province to collect much larger debts, benefitting from reduced costs and shorter wait times. Tim Browatzke is MetCredit's Manager of Corporate Integrity and Legal Strategies, and he joins host Bryn Griffiths to talk about why Alberta's provincial court claim limit increase is a significant move — and one that other provinces and states may soon follow.

This week in law, I remember my late client, Barbara Reddick, who was so much more than people know from the chase-the-ace case that put her in the spotlight. I then discuss new federal legislation on bail reform, as well as the just-passed firearms legislation C-21. Then, in caselaw this week, I discuss a small claims court decision on collectable cars and action figures that was appealed from the Residential Tenancies Board to the Small Claims Court, and how the landlord inadvertently helped the tenant make their case, increasing their damages by ten times. A Truro man was sentenced for threatening Provincial Court Judge Begin, a process which required a New Brunswick Judge to be brought in. In R. v. MacEvoy, two brothers who had not spoke in 20 years had an argument that lead to one shooting the other with a 12 gauge shotgun. He claimed self-defense in a case heard by Judge Ross. Finally, I review the CBC story about a Police Review Board decision on the allegations of racism made by Kayla Borden. I comment on the decision, and whether Ms. Borden would be wise to proceed to judicial review, as her lawyer has indicated she is considering doing.

Small Claims Court | The Legal Insider S01E08 by Capital FM

This week in law, I review the historic indictment against former President Trump, and discuss how different that case would be here in Canada, and my assessment of the relative strength of the case. Included is a short digression of the only sitting U.S. President to be arrested - in that case, for speeding a horse. I gave been reading more of the Mass Casualty Commission report, and one piece that has not been covered in the media since the report's release is the criticisms contained in Volume 7, the final part of the report. In this section the Commissioners are very critical of the RCMP and Federal lawyers for the Attorney General in the way they handled disclosure issues. They were also quite critical of Patterson Law for representing clients in both the Inquiry and in civil claims, strongly suggesting this is a conflict of interest, and recommending that law societies study the question. Finally, the Commissioners criticize Premier Tim Houston for issuing a statement on the opening day of the MCC, though say nothing of Federal Minister Sean Fraser, who did the same thing, nor do they show the least bit of contrition for any possible mistakes they may have made that perhaps may have lead to the criticism. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is taking the Federal Government to court over the invocation of the Emergencies Act. Though this has already been the subject of an Inquiry, the question of legality is still open for determination, as the findings of Justice Rouleau in the POEC are not binding on the Federal Court. To start the video, I mention a case out of the NS Small Claims Court that may be of interest - what happens when the price of lumber skyrockets during a pandemic when you have already agreed on the price to build a home? This case involved a claim for the maximum of $25,000 that the Small Claims Court can award.

Ralph welcomes William Kleinnecht, author of “States of Neglect: How Red-State Leaders Have Failed Their Citizens and Undermined America” about how red state governors and legislatures fight culture wars while starving education and health care, empowering polluters, engaging in voter suppression, and neglecting their citizens' well-being in the interest of cutting taxes for their wealthy donors. Plus, Oliver Hall, founder of the Center for Competitive Democracy tells us all about how ordinary people can use an extremely underused legal forum, Small Claims Court.William Kleinknecht is a longtime newspaper reporter who covered politics, government, criminal justice, and the environment for the Detroit Free Press, New York Daily News, and Newark Star-Ledger. He is the author of The Man Who Sold the World: Ronald Reagan and the Betrayal of Main Street America and States of Neglect: How Red-State Leaders Have Failed Their Citizens and Undermined America.I wrote the book because when national news organizations talk about the red states, the focus is always on hot-button issues like abortion, immigration, election subversion, and even Critical Race Theory. And that's by the design of the Republicans who run those states— that's what they want people to be talking about because that fires up their base. What has gotten very little attention is just how damaging Republican leadership in those states has been for a longer period of time and across a much broader range of issues.William Kleinknecht, author of States of Neglect: How Red-State Leaders Have Failed Their Citizens and Undermined AmericaI found that when I went to where the poorest people were— and the people who were suffering from environmental degradation or poor healthcare— I think they got it. I think it's a different segment of their population that is the MAGA Republicans. And I didn't spend as much time around them because I was looking for where the damage was.William Kleinknecht, author of States of Neglect: How Red-State Leaders Have Failed Their Citizens and Undermined AmericaOliver Hall is a public interest attorney in Washington, DC. He is founder of and legal counsel to the Center for Competitive Democracy, which aims to strengthen American democracy by increasing electoral competition.The fact is, in our increasingly corporatized world where transactions are automated, contracts are one-sided (contracts that corporations create with so much fine print you couldn't possibly read it all, and ostensibly require you to sign away your rights), I think people get intimidated. Or they assume that they don't have the right to pursue a claim in small claims court. And the fact is they do have that right. It can be done. And there's no reason more people shouldn't do it, especially given the level and pervasiveness of corporate abuses, just in terms of everyday normal transactions that we all engage in.Oliver Hall on Small Claims CourtI've been listening to Elon Musk speak out against government subsidies of corporations over the months— and talking about himself as a great capitalist entrepreneur— when, in reality, he takes all kinds of corporate welfare… Anytime he opens up a plant or starts a company like Starlink, he demands all kinds of subsidies, handouts, giveaways, grants, and especially a tax referral or tax holidays or tax breaks.Ralph Nader on his Twitter exchange with Elon Musk Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe

“I sued a hospital in small claims court and lost — here's what I learned.” That was the subject line for an email we got from listener Lauren Slemenda. She wrote: “I feel like I won” — and we knew we needed to talk with her.She wants to encourage more people to try taking providers to court over unfair bills. “If everybody that they screw stands up,” she says, “They can't afford to pay a lawyer to defend against all of those [cases].” It's an interesting idea for sure — What if more people use small claims court to fight messed-up medical bills? Like, a lot more people? — and we'll be exploring it in the coming months. Meanwhile, Lauren's story has lessons for all of us. For instance, even though she lost her case, she doesn't expect to pay a cent. Here's a transcript of the episode. More helpful resourcesWant to try some of Lauren's tactics?

July 29 2022 - TCHT_ Mail Bag Friday - Small Claims Court

A new alternative to federal court for copyright holders may provide an inexpensive route towards justice for small businesses. But is cheaper, better? How well will it work?

Have you ever been ripped off by someone and were so mad you wanted to take them to small claims court? It happens all the time, and many people decide not to go through with it because they don't know how the process works. But going through the court process is easier than you think. That's why we're talking to the Honorable Gerald Williams. He serves as Justice of the Peace for one of Maricopa County's precincts. He'll break down all the do's and don'ts of filing a small case lawsuit and offer helpful tips to get your case heard.

This week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan:Twenty-five years ago, a man and his family moved into a home they had built in the Highlands with only a temporary occupancy permit. A final occupancy permit was never obtained, and the lack of compliance was noted on title. As his wife passed away and his children had moved out, the homeowner decided it was time to sell the home. The homeowner hired a contractor to complete some repairs including work on some badly weathered decks. The agreement to do the work was oral and the scope of the project changed several times. The contractor was asked to replace two smaller decks completely but, to save money, only replace the decking on a large main deck. The contractor pointed out to the homeowner that the structure of the main deck was rotten but agreed to continue replacing only the decking.When the home was listed for sale, a building inspector was called by a real-estate agent and several deficiencies were noted, including the rotten main deck. The homeowner was upset that the building inspector had attended and demanded that the contractor replace the main deck as his own expense. The contractor refused because he had only been hired to replace the decking and litigation ensued. Following a three-day trial, the judge concluded that while the contractor wasn't responsible for the full cost of replacing the main deck, he shouldn't have proceeded with replacing the decking given the rotten structure. The contractor was ordered to pay for the wasted time and decking material. Because the homeowner sued in Supreme Court, seeking the full cost of a new main deck, and was awarded only $5,175, he is unlikely to receive costs that would ordinarily be awarded to a successful party because the amount awarded is within the jurisdiction of Small Claims Court. The legal costs of the three-day trial are likely to have been substantially more that the amount awarded. The contractor represented himself at trial. Also on the show, the BC Court of Appeal resolved a dispute over an estate that occurred because the deceased didn't have a valid will. The BC Wills, Estates and Succession Act has provisions that deal with who should receive an estate when someone dies without a will. If someone has a spouse and no descendants, the estate passes to the spouse. The central issue on the appeal was whether the man who had lived with the deceased was her spouse. The Wills, Estates and Succession Act provides that when someone is in a “marriage like relationship” for two years prior to someone's death is their spouse. There are a variety of factors that courts have looked at to decide if a relationship is “marriage like”.The trial judge focused on the fact that the man and woman didn't engage in a conjugal relation and concluded that the man wasn't a spouse. The Court of Appeal disagreed and pointed out that there should not be a checklist of factors and that relationships are diverse.  The man shared a bed with the deceased for three years prior to her death. He took her to hundreds of medical appointments, did the grocery shopping, they shared meals and celebrations together and he testified that he loved her. While, ultimately, the result is likely to have been in accordance with the deceased woman's wished, several years or litigation and uncertainty could have been avoided if she had prepared a proper will.
