Summary
Summary
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends amending California Rules of Court, rule 3.764 to lengthen the deadlines for filings related to class certification motions to ensure courts have sufficient time to review the papers in advance of the hearing. The proposed deadlines offered in this report would address that concern and coordinate the deadlines for opposition and reply filings for these motions with the corresponding deadlines applicable to filings for motions for summary judgment.
