§ 33-35-2-6 — City courts in third class cities that are not county seats; civil jurisdiction; limitations

Indiana § 33-35-2-6

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 35: CITY AND TOWN COURTS
• Ch. 2: Judge's Powers and Jurisdiction

Text

A city court in a third class city that is not a
county seat and to which section 5 of this chapter does not apply has
concurrent jurisdiction with the circuit court in civil cases in which the
amount in controversy does not exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000).
However, the city court does not have:
(1) jurisdiction in actions for:
(A) slander;
(B) libel;
(C) foreclosure of mortgages on real estate, in which the title to
real estate is in issue;
(D) all matters relating to a decedent's estate, appointment of
guardians and all related matters; and
(E) actions in equity; and
(2) original jurisdiction in which the principal defendant resides
within another city having a city court with a civil jurisdiction.
Judgments rendered in the city court, when a certified transcript is filed
with the clerk of the circuit court, have the same force as judgments
rendered in the circuit court.
