Type of limited civil matter that is adjudicated in the Small Claims division of the CA Superior Court.

%


No right to discovery.
No right of appeal for P, but D may appeal to appellate division for trial de novo.




Reclassification
If case is misclassified or subsequent pleadings show that classification should be changed, a party
(or court on its own motion) can move to reclassify the case.

It is different from a challenge to the fundamental subject matter JDX of CA court by a Demurrer or
motion for JMOL.

Reclassification from Unlimited Civil to Limited Civil

Reclassification from Limited Civil to Unlimited Civil
Court must find that there is a "possibility" that the verdict will exceed $25K.




Reclassification without Motion
%


Can result based on filing of amended complaint or demand in a cross-complaint.




2 Step Due Process Analysis
For a court to exercise specific personal jurisdiction over a defendant, due process requires that the
defendant:
1) Be given adequate notice of lawsuit; AND
2) Be subject to the personal jurisdiction of the court.

-- Long arm statute?:
Enumerated or extends to limits of the US Constitution (See Cal. Civ. Code 410.10)

-- Constitutional Due Process:
Shoe Minimum Contacts plus Fairness

Personal Jurisdiction - California
Personal JDX analysis in California state court is basically same as in federal courts.
General Rule:
California state courts exercise personal JDX over non-resident defendants pursuant to:
1) California's long arm statute (CCP 410. I0); AND
2) The Due Process clause of 14th of U.S. Constitution.




California's Long Arm (CCP S 410.10)
Permits the exercise of personal JDX on any "basis not inconsistent with the Constitution of this state
and the United States."
%



Traditional Basis of General Personal JDX - California
Domicile, physical presence, consent, or general appearance are valid basis for general personal
JDX in California state court.




Due Process/Shoe Test for Specific Personal JDX - California
Due process inquiry of minimum contacts plus 5 factor fairness balancing applies to California state
court's exercise of specific personal JDX.
