Summary

Summary

The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee proposes amending California Rules of Court, rule 3.545 and adopting rule 3.546 to adjust court procedures for coordinated actions and coordination proceedings. The recommended rule amendment and new rule aim to address concerns that the existing rules on these matters are overly burdensome for courts and do not contain a process to terminate coordination proceedings.
