California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 4 — Of the Place of Trial, Reclassification, and Coordination of Civil Actions, Chapter 1 — Place of Trial, Section 395.2
If an unincorporated association has filed a statement with the Secretary of State pursuant to statute, designating its principal office in this state, the proper county for the trial of an action against the unincorporated association is the same as it would be if the unincorporated association were a corporation and, for the purpose of determining the proper county, the principal place of business of the unincorporated association shall be deemed to be the principal office in this state listed in the statement.
Notes
Sets venue for an action against an unincorporated association that filed a principal-office statement with the Secretary of State as if the association were a corporation. For determining the proper county, requires treating the principal office listed in that statement as the association’s principal place of business in California.
