`CASE NUMBER:
`
`NOTICE TO ALL PARTIES IN THIS CASE:
`
`The Los Angeles Superior Court strongly encourages remote appearances by audio or video for
`Small Claims cases via LACourtConnect (LACC), its remote courtroom appearance technology.
`The Court is waiving the recovery fee and providing LACC at no cost to the litigants for hearings
`beginning September 7, 2021. Offering LACC at no cost will increase the safe access to justice and
`promote remote appearances. Visit the website at https://www.lacourt.org/lacc to learn more and to
`register for a remote appearance.
`
`Pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure, section 116.520, parties in a Small Claims matter
`have the right to present evidence and witnesses at the hearing to support their respective
`positions. In order to facilitate remote appearances, the Court has developed a protocol for the
`exchange of evidence between or among the parties and for submission to the court in advance of
`the hearing.
`
`Any evidence the party wishes the court to consider must be sent to the opposing party and the
`court in a method that ensures receipt at least ten (10) days prior to the scheduled hearing
`pursuant to Standing Order 2020-SJ-015-00 in re Small Claims Protocol for Exchange and
`Submission of Evidence. See enclosed LASC CIV 278 Exchange and Submission of Evidence
`(Small Claims) form and LASC CIV 279 Mailing Label.
`
`Evidence attached to the Plaintiff’s Claim and Order to Go to Small Claims Court will be rejected as
`non-compliance with the Exchange and Submission of Evidence Standing Order.
`
`Evidence will be destroyed after the hearing unless the parties provide a self-addressed envelope
`with sufficient pre-paid postage at the time of the submission of the evidence.
