I.C. v. Uber Technologies, Inc. et al.

(35) Tentative Ruling

Re: I.C. v. Uber Technologies, Inc. et al. Superior Court Case No. 24CECG05355

Hearing Date: May 12, 2026 (Dept. 502)

Motion: Petition to Compromise Claim

Tentative Ruling:

To deny without prejudice. In the event that argument is requested, both Petitioner Sonia Bibian and Plaintiff I.C. are excused from appearing.

Explanation:

The petition appears to be sufficiently stated. However, the petition seeks to establish a court-ordered trust pursuant to Probate Code section 3611, subdivision (g). The proposed trust, at Article Six, further requires court approval for various acts by the proposed trustee. Any trust funded by a court order pursuant to Probate Code section 3600 et seq. is subject to continuing jurisdiction of the court. (Cal. Rules of Ct., rule 7.903(a)(1), (b).) This court in a civil proceeding will not retain jurisdiction of such trust supervision. Accordingly, the petition must show that a petition in the Probate Division exists and establishes supervision over the trust to comply with California Rules of Court, rule 7.903. The Probate Division provides the requisite ongoing court supervision of the trust. Once there is an approved probate petition, petitioner may refile for approval to fund the trusts through an order of compromise of claim in this civil matter.

Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312(a), and Code of Civil Procedure section 1019.5, subdivision (a), no further written order is necessary. The minute order adopting this tentative ruling will serve as the order of the court and service by the clerk will constitute notice of the order.
