They can countersue for the jurisdictional limit of the court. For individuals, that can be as much as $10,000.

The previous answers are only correct if they CHOOSE to limit themselves to $10,000. They can also sue for more and have the case moved to regular Superior Court.

And why would you only sue for one cent? Makes no sense - pardon the pun
