Bare Act

The Goa Civil Courts (Amendment) Act, 1989

This law amends the fee structure for civil courts in the Goa region by raising the maximum amount a person can claim in a standard lawsuit without special permission. Specifically, it changes the upper limit for claiming damages in unattached civil cases from five thousand to fifty thousand rupees. This modification benefits ordinary citizens and small businesses by lowering the financial hurdle to accessing the justice system. It streamlines the court process for disputes within this new financial range and ensures that the legal framework better supports local people dealing with property and monetary conflicts.
