Summary
Summary
Members of the public and Judicial Council staff have identified changes required for several proof of service forms as a result of previous rule amendments that remove the requirement that the time of service by fax or electronic service be stated on the forms. The staff to the Judicial Council recommends making the necessary corrections to avoid confusing litigants, clerks, and judicial officers.
