California Code of Civil Procedure · 2026-10 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · California
(a) A limited civil case may be brought in the small claims division if the case is within the jurisdiction of the small claims division as otherwise provided by statute. Where a statute or rule applicable to a small claims case conflicts with a statute or rule applicable to a limited civil case, the statute or rule applicable to a small claims case governs the small claims case and the statute or rule applicable to a limited civil case does not.
(b) Nothing in this section affects the jurisdiction of the small claims division as otherwise provided by statute.
