California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 10 — Actions in Particular Cases, Chapter 7 — Actions Relating to Groundwater Rights, Article 4 — Intervention, Section 837.5
(a) The state may intervene in a comprehensive adjudication conducted pursuant to this chapter.
(b) This section does not affect substantive law.
Notes
Allows the State of California to intervene in a groundwater adjudication conducted under this chapter. The provision expressly states that this intervention authority does not affect substantive law, so permitting the state to become a party changes no underlying substantive rights or legal standards by itself.
