New Rules of Court | Effective July 1, 2007
On Friday, April 27, 2007, the Judicial Council approved the collections cases proposal developed by the Collections Cases Working Group. The new and amended rules and revised Civil Case Cover Sheet will be effective July 1, 2007.
The California Creditors Bar Association is very thankful for all of the hard work and effort undertaken to make this possible, and looks forward to streamlined Court dockets, uniform Court Rules across the State of California, and elimination of numerous local procedures for collection cases, all saving countless resources for courts, lawyers and litigants.
