Description:

The Civil and Small Claims Advisory Committee and Court Executives Advisory Committee
jointly propose adding new case categories and case types to Civil Case Cover Sheet (form
CM-010). The addition of the comprehensive groundwater adjudication case type is to be
consistent with Code of Civil Procedure section 838(b) and the concurrent amendment to rule
3.400. The addition of the Asbestos and Employment Development Department (EDD) case
categories will fulfill new data reporting requirements in an upcoming version of the Judicial
Branch Statistical Information System (JBSIS) and eliminate manual data reporting by courts.
