I am editing a Spanish court document and I can't seem to figure out if the translation used is correct. The translator translated JUICIO MONITORIO as SMALL CLAIMS PROCEDURE but I don't think that's correct.

According to the website: mundojuridico.info, a juicio monitorio is:
El juicio monitorio es un procedimiento judicial para reclamar el pago de deudas dinerarias de cualquier importe siempre que reunan una serie de requisitos.

Para que la deuda se pueda reclamar mediante el juicio monitorio, debe de reunir una serie de requisitos: debe ser una deuda dineraria, líquida, determinada, vencida y exigible.

agree  AllegroTrans: or small claims proceedings (but not procedure). I think one needs to look beyond Tom West into the real world at times

agree  Robert Carter: I agree with Chris about "small-claims proceeding" or at the very least this term needs hyphenating to "small-debt proceedings", because it took me a moment to click to what this term meant.

El juicio monitorio

El juicio monitorio es un procedimiento judicial para reclamar el pago de deudas dinerarias de cualquier importe siempre que reunan una serie de requisitos.

Para que la deuda se pueda reclamar mediante el juicio monitorio, debe de reunir una serie de requisitos: debe ser una deuda dineraria, líquida, determinada, vencida y exigible.

Deuda DINERARIA, significa que el derecho de crédito exigido debe expresarse en dinero en sentido estricto, es decir, en moneda de curso legal, nacional o extranjera, por lo que quedan excluidas del proceso monitorio la obligaciones de hacer, así como las obligaciones de dar cosas determinadas.

Deuda VENCIDA, es aquella cuyo plazo de pago ha transcurrido, es decir, ha vencido. No cabe por tanto mediante un juicio monitorio reclamar deudas de futuro, que no han vencido todavía.
Abogado Francisco Sevilla Cáceres

Abogado Francisco Sevilla Cáceres

Deuda EXIGIBLE, debe entenderse aquella que no depende de contraprestación, ni está sujeta a condición alguna.

Deuda DETERMINADA, lo que significa que la deuda debe ser líquida, es decir, que está concretada en una suma de dinero o que su determinación dependa de una simple o mera operación aritmética.
