Courts: complex case fees.
Summary
Existing law requires a $550 fee to be paid by each party at the time of filing its first paper if the case is designated as a complex case, and requires payment of the same fee by each party who has not paid the fee whenever a case is determined to be a complex case. Existing law imposes a limitation of $10,000 on the total amount of fees collected from all plaintiffs, and the same limitation on the total amount of fees collected from all defendants, intervenors, respondents, and adverse parties appearing in a complex case. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
