California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 3 — Of Special Proceedings of a Civil Nature, Title 3 — Of Summary Proceedings, Chapter 1 — Confession of Judgment Without Action, Section 1132
(a) A judgment by confession is unenforceable and may not be entered in any superior court.
(b) This section does not apply to a judgment by confession obtained or entered before January 1, 2023.
Notes
Prohibits entry or enforcement of a judgment by confession in any superior court. Exempts judgments by confession obtained or entered before January 1, 2023, so the prohibition applies to later judgments and expressly leaves the specified pre-2023 judgments outside this bar.
