Mr. Riley does not elaborate on how the Smal! Claims Court’s procedures for admitting
evidence varied from the rules, or on how he was prejudiced by the procedures that were followed.
, The Small Claims Court is designed to provide “simple, informal and inexpensive” procedures for
| settling claims. 12 V.S.A. § 5531(a). The Vermont Rules of Smail Claims Procedure call for the
court to conduct the hearing in a summary manner, Rule 6(a), and the rules of evidence do not apply,
Rule 6(b). After reviewing the record, the Superior Court is unable to conclude that the Small
Claims Court erred in the admission of evidence.
