body
Summary
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee proposes that the Judicial Council revise form SUM-130, Summons--Unlawful Detainer--Eviction, to expand use of the mandatory form to expressly include forcible entry and forcible detainer proceedings. The revisions are intended to address confusion by courts and litigants as to whether form SUM-130 may be used in these types of proceedings.
Recommendation
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 1, 2023, revise the title of form SUM-130 to expressly include forcible entry and forcible detainer proceedings among the types of proceedings for which the form may be used.
