Motion type
Parties
Ruling
The final Assembly Judiciary Committee Report on AB 1755, the enacting legislation for section 871.26, explains that the purpose of the discovery sanctions provision is to ensure “that attorneys faithfully adhere to these new discovery rules,” and “that the information most relevant to a lemon law case is disclosed early in the litigation process and without the need to argue costly discovery disputes before the court.” (Assem. Com. on Judiciary, Analysis of Assem. Bill No. 1755 (2023-2024 Reg. Sess.) as amended Aug. 30, 2024.) Granting relief from sanctions on these facts would largely frustrate the purpose of section 871.26.
The Court therefore, imposes the mandatory $2,500 monetary sanctions against Defendant’s counsel under section 871.26(j)(2) for the delayed portion of its production. Sanctions are ordered payable within 15 business days from this order
Summary: Deem the motion moot. Award sanctions against Defendant’s counsel in the amount of $2,500 as mandated by section 871.26(j)(1).
