Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: forms use to respond to a civil court appeal

You have to file a Motion to Confirm the Arbitration Award for a monetary judgment. You can also file your judgment claim against the contractor's bond maybe. Please contact us if you have any more questions.

You need to oppose the request with your own declarations, evidence, and Points and Authorities.

You should also consider filing your own Petition to Confirm the Arbitration Award. If granted, this will reduce your Award to a judgment. And only by reducing it to a judgment can the Award be enforceable via regular enforcement procedures.

Also check any agreements that control the process to see what is required, are you entitled to attorney fees, etc. Check with the License Bureau as to what help they can give you. Usually one would treat the case as starting all over again as though it had never been tried, so you have t look if there are special rules for this procedure
