§ 1221 Notice Period And Manner

This law says that if you have to tell someone about a hearing and the rules don’t say how long or how to give the notice, you must follow the timing and method set out in Section 1220, unless a judge orders something different.

Key Takeaways

•Use the period and method from Section 1220 when no other rule is given.
•A court or judge can change the period or method if they order it.
•Applies any time a hearing notice is needed but the law is silent on how to give it.

Example

A landlord must notify a tenant about a court hearing for eviction, but the eviction law doesn’t say how many days in advance the notice must be given.

Because the law doesn’t give a specific time or way to give the notice, the landlord must use the same period and method that Section 1220 requires (for example, 10 days by certified mail), unless the judge tells them to do it another way.

Where notice of hearing is required but no other period or manner is prescribed by statute, unless the period or manner of giving the notice is ordered by the court or judge, the notice of hearing shall be given for the period and in the manner provided in Section 1220. (Enacted by Stats. 1990, Ch. 79.)
