Record Keeping in Court

The Small Claims Court is not a court of record.  There is no requirement that the Commissioner keep notes of the proceedings or that any of the evidence is recorded.  Any recording equipment present will probably only be used for Magistrates' Court sessions.  The requirement of speedy justice in the Small Claims Court is a further reason why the Commissioner is not expected to record the evidence.
