California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 14 — Of Miscellaneous Provisions, Chapter 2 — Bonds and Undertakings, Article 2 — General Provisions, Section 995.210
Unless the provision or context otherwise requires:
(a) If a statute provides for a bond, an undertaking that otherwise satisfies the requirements for the bond may be given in its place with the same effect as if a bond were given, and references in the statute to the bond shall be deemed to be references to the undertaking.
(b) If a statute provides for an undertaking, a bond that otherwise satisfies the requirements for the undertaking may be given in its place with the same effect as if an undertaking were given, and references in the statute to the undertaking shall be deemed to be references to the bond.
Notes
Allows an undertaking satisfying bond requirements to substitute for a statutorily required bond, and a qualifying bond to substitute for a statutorily required undertaking, unless context or another provision requires otherwise. Gives the substitute the same effect and treats statutory references to the original form as references to the substitute.
