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