small claims law suit

just wondering i am in ontario…if i am sued in small claims and don`t attend, I know they will get a default judgment. But, afterwards will they go for `an examination hearing?` Is that typical? I am concerned because if one does not attend an `examination hearing`, I understand one can be held in contempt and then potentially put in prison. is that the usual process whena creditor sues and the debtor does not respond?

You need to contact a lawyer to obtain specific legal advice regarding Small Claims Court – this is a bankruptcy site run by turtsees (not lawyers).

My basic understanding is that what you’ve written is correct – they conduct the examination to determine where you are working and if you own any assets that the creditor may want to put a lien on. I think you are correct regarding the contempt charge too, but you need to speak to lawyer regarding this matter.
