I'm not sure, but I think that might be a pot of $$$. So $6,000 altogether with $5000 the jurisdictional limit. Say Plaintiff wins full amount of $5000, then the 2 parties would split the remaining $1000. Plaintiff goes home with $5,500 and defendant still walks away with $500.

If the plaintiff loses, then yes, they each go home with $3000.
