California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 4 — General Provisions, Part 6 — Works of Improvement, Title 1 — Works of Improvement Generally, Chapter 1 — General Provisions, Article 1 — Definitions, Section 8044
(a)(1) For the purposes of Title 2 (commencing with Section 8160), “stop payment notice” means the notice given by a claimant under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 8500) of Title 2.
(2) A stop payment notice given under Title 2 (commencing with Section 8160) may be bonded or unbonded. A “bonded stop payment notice” is a notice given with a bond under Section 8532. An “unbonded stop payment notice” is a notice not given with a bond under Section 8532.
(3) Except to the extent Title 2 (commencing with Section 8160) distinguishes between a bonded and an unbonded stop payment notice, a reference in that title to a stop payment notice includes both a bonded and an unbonded notice.
(b) For the purposes of Title 3 (commencing with Section 9000), “stop payment notice” means the notice given by a claimant under Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 9350) of Title 3.
(c) A reference in another statute to a “stop notice” in connection with the remedies provided in this part means a stop payment notice.
Notes
Defines “stop payment notice” for Title 2 as the referenced claimant notice, which may be bonded or unbonded, and treats general references there as including both unless distinguished. Defines the term separately for Title 3 and establishes that another statute’s “stop notice” reference connected to these remedies means a stop payment notice.
