CRITICALCivil cases
Unless the Court directs argument in the tentative ruling, a party seeking oral argument must notify all other parties and the court by 4:00 p.m. on the court day before the hearing, or the tentative ruling becomes the ruling of the court.
The Court does not typically request oral argument on law and motion matters, and if the Court is requesting argument, it will be noticed in the Tentative Ruling. The Court is guided by California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1308(a)(1) whereby notice of intent to appear is requested. Unless the Court directs argument in the Tentative Ruling, no argument is requested and any party seeking argument should notify all other parties and the court by 4:00 p.m. on the court day before the hearing of the party's intention to appear and argue. The tentative ruling will become the ruling of the court if no argument is received. A party's failure to request argument may result in a continuance. Notice may be given either by email at BurDeptA@LACourt.org or by telephone at (818) 260-8412.
