Courts: civil actions.

(1) Existing law requires the governing association of a common interest development and the builder of the development to comply with specified dispute resolution procedures. However, existing law, until July 1, 2010, provides that if the parties have not settled the matter, the association or its assignee may file a complaint in superior court, as provided. This bill would extend the operation of these latter provisions to July 1, 2017. (2) Existing law specifies various uniform fees for filing specified documents in connection with certain civil proceedings. The fee for filing in the superior court an application to appear as counsel pro hac vice is $250. This bill would increase the fee for filing in the superior court an application to appear as counsel pro hac vice to $500. This bill would provide for $250 of the fee to be deposited into the Immediate and Critical Needs Account of the State Court Facilities Construction Fund and for $250 of the fee to be deposited into the Trial Court Trust Fund.
