A city court has concurrent jurisdiction with the circuit court in civil cases in which the amount in controversy does not exceed five hundred dollars ($500). However, the city court does not have jurisdiction in actions for:

1. (1) slander;
2. (2) libel;
3. (3) foreclosure of mortgage on real estate, in which the title to real estate is in issue;
4. (4) matters relating to a decedent's estate, appointment of guardians, and all related matters; and

5. (5) actions in equity.
