California Local Form M 1 PDF Details

When dealing with urgent legal matters that require immediate attention from the court, the California Local M 1 form plays a crucial role. Specifically tailored for the Superior Court of California, County of El Dorado, this document facilitates a streamlined process to request an ex parte hearing—a type of court appearance that’s urgently scheduled without the standard notice typically provided to the other party. The form sets out clear guidelines and requirements for whether and how to notify the opposing party about the ex parte application, aligning with Rule 3.1203 of the California Rules of Court. It demands that, under normal circumstances, notice should be given by 10 a.m. the court day before the hearing, with allowances for cases of exceptional urgency that justify deviation from this rule. Applicants must detail their efforts to notify or reasons for not notifying the other party, underlining the balance between due process and the need for immediate judicial intervention. The adherence to these procedures underscores the seriousness of such requests and the courts' dedication to fairness, even when expediency is paramount.
