What happens

Small Claims is an Australian television film starring Rebecca Gibney and Claudia Karvan, which first aired on Network Ten in 2004. The film was a co-production with subscription television and was also broadcast on the Foxtel, Austar, and Optus Television Subscription Television services. The series was written by husband and wife team, Keith Thompson and Kaye Bendle. The film is part one of a mystery series about two overworked young mums, de-skilled beyond their worst nightmares, who become a formidable pair of sleuths, directed by Cherie Nowlan. Their cases are the murders, greed and dark passions that lurk behind the anonymous facade of the suburbs. Two sequels followed, entitled Small Claims: White Wedding and Small Claims: The Reunion.
