California CodesCode of Civil Procedure - CCPPart 1 — Of Courts of JusticeTitle 1 — Organization and JurisdictionChapter 5.1 — Limited Civil CasesArticle 1 — Jurisdiction in Limited Civil CasesSection 87
(a) A limited civil case may be brought in the small claims division if the case is within the jurisdiction of the small claims division as otherwise provided by statute. Where a statute or rule applicable to a small claims case conflicts with a statute or rule applicable to a limited civil case, the statute or rule applicable to a small claims case governs the small claims case and the statute or rule applicable to a limited civil case does not.
(b) Nothing in this section affects the jurisdiction of the small claims division as otherwise provided by statute.
Notes
Allows a limited civil case to be brought in small claims court when it otherwise falls within small claims jurisdiction. If small-claims and limited-civil rules conflict, the small-claims rule governs that case; the provision does not otherwise alter the small claims division’s statutory jurisdiction.
