Section § 1132

Explanation

If you want to get a judgment by the other party's confession, you can no longer do that in California courts. This rule started in 2023, but it doesn't affect judgments that were already made this way before then.

(a)CA Civil Procedure Code § 1132(a) A judgment by confession is unenforceable and may not be entered in any superior court.
(b)CA Civil Procedure Code § 1132(b) This section does not apply to a judgment by confession obtained or entered before January 1, 2023.
