California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 8 — Of the Trial and Judgment in Civil Actions, Chapter 8 — The Manner of Giving and Entering Judgment, Section 666
If a claim asserted in a cross-complaint is established at the trial and the amount so established exceeds the demand established by the party against whom the cross-complaint is asserted, judgment for the party asserting the cross-complaint must be given for the excess; or if it appears that the party asserting the cross-complaint is entitled to any other affirmative relief, judgment must be given accordingly.
When the amount found due to either party exceeds the sum for which the court is authorized to enter judgment, such party may remit the excess, and judgment may be rendered for the residue.
Notes
Requires judgment for the party asserting a cross-complaint when the established cross-claim exceeds the opposing party’s established demand, limited to the excess, and requires any other established affirmative relief to be awarded accordingly. If an amount due exceeds the court’s judgment authority, the entitled party may remit the excess so judgment can be entered for the remainder.
