Your friend would have two choices. He/She could either waive the balance over the jurisdictional limit of the special civil part ($15,000) or sue for the full amount in the law division. Should your friend require any assistance in the matter I would suggest he/she reach out to discuss this matter with an attorney. Good luck.
