In addition to the legal issue in dispute, the subject matter jurisdiction of a court may be determined by the monetary value of the dispute—the dollar amount in controversy. Small claims courts, also known as conciliation courts, are limited by state statutes to small amounts of money in controversy, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 depending upon the state. Therefore, if a plaintiff sues a defendant in Small Claims Court for $50,000, the court will reject the lawsuit because it lacks subject matter jurisdiction based on the amount in controversy. The amount in controversy limitations are designed to regulate the flow of litigation in the various courts of the state, ensuring that complicated disputes over large sums of money will be heard in courts that have the time and resources to hear such cases.

the ultimate quorum of the Supreme Court

or

the ultimate quorum of the High Court

Quorum: النصاب القانوني
(عدد الاعضاء الذين يتعيين حضورهم)

Here is the definition of the word Quorum:

A quorum is the minimum number of people who must be present to pass a law, make a judgment, or conduct business. Quorum requirements typically are found in a court, legislative assembly, or corporation (where those attending might be directors or stockholders). In some cases, the law requires more people than a simple majority to form a quorum. If no such defining number is determined, a quorum is a simple majority.

A quorum also might mean the number of members of a body defined as competent to transact business in the absence of the other members. The purpose of a quorum rule is to give decisions made by a quorum enough authority to allow binding action to be conducted.

In both houses of Congress, a quorum consists of a simple majority of members.

لکل محکمة نصاب نهائي لایمکن التجاوز علیە. مثلا، في القانون التجاري المصري - أحکام الافلاس والصلح الواقي منە، تنص المادة 656 کما یلي؛
1- يجوز الطعن امام المحكمة فى القرار الصادر من قاضى التفليسة بقبول الدين أو رفضه، وذلك خلال عشرة ايام من تاريخ صدور القرار. اذا كانت قيمة الدين تزيد على النصاب الانتهائى للمحكمة الجزئية، ولا يترتب على الطعن وقف اجراءات التفليسة الا اذا أمرت المحكمة بوقفها.
2- ويجوز للمحكمة قبل الفصل فى الطعن ان تقضى بقبول الدين مؤقتاً بمبلغ تقدره.
3- ولا يجوز الطعن فى حكم المحكمة برفض الدين نهائياً أوبقبوله.
4- واذا كان اطعن فى الدين متعلقاً بتأميناته وجب قبوله مؤقتاً بوصفه دينا عادياً.
5- ولا يشترك الدائن الذى لم يقبل دينه نهائياً أو مؤقتاً فى اجراءات التفليسة
