In the complex landscape of real estate transactions within California, the RE 807B form serves as a critical tool for individuals seeking restitution through the State’s Consumer Recovery Account. This form, mandated by the State of California Bureau of Real Estate, is essentially an application for payment that must be filed in court when a proration action has been initiated. It meticulously outlines the procedure for claiming compensatory damages from transactions that have gone awry, specifically those involving fraud, misrepresentation, deceit, or conversion of trust funds by a real estate licensee. Applicants are required to provide detailed information including the claimant's and judgment debtor's identity, the date and details of the civil judgment or criminal restitution order, an itemized account of the judgment's components, and a narrative statement of facts underlying the judgment. Of paramount importance, the form discerns between the judgment's awarded amounts and the "actual and direct loss" recognized by statute and case law, excluding anticipated profits, attorney's fees, and punitive damages from recoverable amounts. Furthermore, this form mandates applicants to demonstrate diligent pursuit of all collection avenues against the judgment debtor and any other liable parties, emphasizing the need for exhaustive efforts before tapping into the Consumer Recovery Account. This application process, governed by nuanced statutory and decisional rules, reflects the balancing act between compensating wronged parties and safeguarding the fund's integrity from unwarranted claims.

4.Amount of claim against the Consumer Recovery Account: $_____________________________________________
______
Note: By statute and decisional case law, only a claimant's “actual and direct loss,” plus interest at the legal rate from
the date of loss, and court costs, are payable from the Consumer Recovery Account. Therefore the actual and
direct loss may differ from the amounts awarded in the judgment. Actual and direct loss usually does not include such things as loss of anticipated proits and attorneys fees, and never includes punitive damages. The following
questions must be answered in order that it may be determined whether the amounts sought to be paid from the Consumer Recovery Account are allowable.
A.Itemize and explain how the amount of the claim was computed:

C.Itemize and explain any amount being claimed above and beyond the actual and direct loss and explain why it is
believed that those amounts are collectible from the Consumer Recovery Account. Punitive damages are not col- lectible from the Consumer Recovery Account, and loss of anticipated proits and attorneys fees are also normally not collectible, so if anything is claimed for those items be sure to explain why it is asserted that those items are collectible.

6.Attach to the Application a detailed narrative statement of facts, signed under penalty of perjury, explaining the allega- tions of the complaint upon which the civil judgment or criminal restitution order is based.

7.Attach to the Application a statement by the claimant, signed under penalty of perjury, that the complaint upon which the underlying civil judgment is based was prosecuted conscientiously and in good faith. “Conscientiously and in good faith” means that no party potentially liable to the claimant in the underlying transaction was intentionally and without good cause omitted from the complaint, that no party named in the complaint who otherwise reasonably appeared capable of responding in damages was dismissed from the complaint intentionally and without good cause, and that the claimant employed no other procedural tactics contrary to the diligent prosecution of the complaint in order to provide access to the Consumer Recovery Account.
For an application based on a criminal restitution order, claimant must provide a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that:
•The claimant has not intentionally and without good cause failed to pursue any person potentially liable to the claim- ant in the underlying transaction other than a defendant who is the subject of a criminal restitution order.
•The claimant has not intentionally and without good cause failed to pursue in a civil action for damages all persons potentially liable to the claimant in the underlying transaction who otherwise reasonably appeared capable of re- sponding in damages other than a defendant who is the subject of a criminal restitution order.
•The claimant employed no other procedural means contrary to the diligent prosecution of the complaint in order to seek to qualify for the Consumer Recovery Account.
8.Explain the basis of the contention that the defendant was performing acts for which the license held by the defendant was required.
