Title
Rules and Forms | Civil Practice and Procedure: Order on Unlawful Use of Personal Identifying Information
(Action Required)
body
Summary
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends revising form CIV-165, Order on Unlawful Use of Personal Identifying Information, for a judicial officer to identify (1) the business entity at issue in the petition underlying the order and (2) its corresponding file number with the Secretary of State if identified in the petition. The recommendation responds to a request from the Secretary of State’s office for more information to allow it to act on a court’s determination that a petitioner’s personal identifying information was used unlawfully in a business entity filing. The revisions are intended to assist the Secretary of State in locating the offending record so that Secretary of State staff can perform the steps necessary to comply with the court’s order granting relief to a petitioner.
Recommendation
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective January 1, 2025, revise Order on Unlawful Use of Personal Identifying Information (form CIV-165) to allow the court to identify the business entity and, if the information has been included in the petition underlying the order, the entity’s file number with the Secretary of State.
