JURISDICTIONAL AMOUNT
Where the jurisdictional amount is not satisfied, transfer to the proper court is mandatory, not discretionary.
A court cannot retain a case when it lacks subject matter jurisdiction.
Only liquidated, contractually promised fees count toward jurisdiction; speculative fees do not.
Potential attorney's fees cannot be used to satisfy jurisdictional requirements.
A contingent prevailing party fee provision does not contribute to the jurisdictional amount.
You'll probably need to reference a legal glossary during your pursuit of justice.
For instance, you may need the technical definition of a word in order to protect yourself from organizations/judges/lawyers who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).
Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.
Sincerely,
