The court will not gather your evidence.Walk in prepared
The Judiciary says it plainly: the court cannot help any party search for or collect evidence. Trial AI runs your case as a full mock trial — civil, criminal, IP, commercial or judicial review — with both sides argued, a written judgment, and the questions the bench is most likely to put to you.

What Trial AI hears in Hong Kong
Civil, Criminal, Intellectual property, Commercial, Administrative — all run as full mock trials, each routed to the court that would actually hear it here.
Civil
Claims between private parties over money, agreements, property and harm.
- Contract claims
- Tort and personal injury
- Property disputes
- Employment claims
- Family matters
Heard by
Small Claims Tribunal → District Court → Court of First Instance
The Tribunal to HK$75,000 and the District Court to HK$3,000,000, per the Judiciary. Employment claims go to the Labour Tribunal instead.
What Trial AI gives you here
- Liability and quantum analysed separately, so you know which one is weak
- A written judgment showing which head of loss survives and which does not
- A demand letter you can send before spending anything on filing
- A settlement range, and the argument the other side is most likely to run
Worked examples
The flat above that kept leaking
HK$ 48,000A Kowloon owner’s ceiling was damaged by water from the unit above; the upstairs owner acknowledged the leak, then refused to pay for the repairs.
The Judiciary lists water-leakage nuisance as a tort the Tribunal can hear. The mock trial showed how to open with the acknowledgement and the repair quotation as the case’s spine.
The renovation that overran and underdelivered
HK$ 62,000A Tsuen Wan flat owner paid two progress instalments; the contractor abandoned the job with the kitchen unfinished and kept the balance.
The panel split on whether to claim the refund or the cost of completion — and showed why, at HK$75,000, which measure you pick decides whether you stay inside the Tribunal at all.
Twenty-two case types across five categories. If your dispute does not fit neatly, describe it in your own words and the assistant will place it.
How a case becomes a court-result simulation
Trial AI is not ordinary chat. It puts the case through a simulated trial flow where plaintiff counsel, defendant counsel, and judge roles test each other before producing a court-result preview.

Facts, evidence, role, and jurisdiction
Plaintiff / Defendant Counsel
Counsel claims, defences, and rebuttals
Judge Panel

Reasons, risk, and next steps
A money claim in Hong Kong, cheapest step first
This is the path a small money claim takes. Criminal, IP, commercial and judicial-review matters follow their own routes to the courts above. The Tribunal is fast and cheap, but it will not find your defendant, gather your evidence or advise you.
Letter of demand
State the debt, the basis and a deadline. It costs postage, and it is the first document you will hand up if the other side ignores it.
Postage only
Free legal advice, before you file
The Tribunal cannot give legal advice and says so. It points enquirers instead to the Duty Lawyer Service free legal advice scheme — worth using while you can still choose whether to file.
Free · Duty Lawyer Service
File in person at the Registry
Forms 1 and 2, in person during office hours — not by post, fax or email. You must supply the defendant’s Hong Kong address; the Tribunal will not trace them for you. The first hearing follows within 60 days.
HK$20–120 by claim size
Call-over, then the hearing
At the call-over the Adjudicator will try to mediate, explaining the law and the pros and cons of pressing on. If it does not settle, you argue it yourself — and you may ask for your lost wages for attending.

2. Choose role and language
Draft for plaintiff or defendant in the chosen language.
3. Strengthen the claim

What people ask about Hong Kong
No. Parties are not allowed legal representation in the Small Claims Tribunal. You may consult a solicitor beforehand, and the Judiciary itself points enquirers to the Duty Lawyer Service free legal advice scheme — but at the hearing you speak for yourself.
