Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Case Management Conference
I have a two part question. If I am the one being sued in a debt collection case, is it necessary for me to file a case management statement? The company suing me has already filed one. Also, a Limited Jurisdiction case was filed and according to Superior Court of Contra Costa Co. Notice to Defendants form, filing a case management statement isnt listed as one of the things I must do, but it is on the Notice to Defendants for Limited Jurisdiction Collections form. It seems their following the rules of a limited jurisdiction collections case instead of the one they filed; a limited jurisdiction civil actions case. Please let me know if I should still file a case management statement. Thanks for your time!

Re: Case Management Conference
A Case Management State is required for any Case Management Conference. It doesn't matter if the case is a Limited Jurisdiction matter or an Unlimited Jurisdictino matter. It must be filed and served 15 days before the hearing.
