Rules and Forms | Civil Practice and Procedure: Separate Statements for Discovery Motions (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee recommends that California Rules of Court, rule 3.1345, be amended, effective January 1, 2020, to reflect the change in law regarding separate statements in discovery motions enacted in Assembly Bill 2230 (Stats. 2018, ch. 317). That bill amends three sections of the Code of Civil Procedure to expressly provide that courts, for certain types of discovery, may allow the moving party to submit an outline of the discovery requests and responses in dispute rather than the separate statement currently required by rule. The proposed rule reflects those changes and expands them to several additional types of discovery as well.
