District of Columbia Court of Appeals April 24, 1981, No. 80-797 (Bogans v. Jeffers)

PER CURIAM:

Appellant contends the Small Claims court abused its discretion in dismissing a portion of his counterclaim. We find that the court had exclusive jurisdiction over the counterclaim and erred in refusing to hear it. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new trial on the counterclaim.
