Does a notice of motion need to state that the motion is being made upon a particular ground?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Carrasco v. Craft, 164 Cal.App.3d 796, 210 Cal.Rptr. 599 (Cal. App. 1985):
Even though the notice of motion fails to state a particular ground for the motion, where the notice states, as here, that the motion is being made upon the notice of motion and accompanying papers and the record, and these papers and the record support that particular ground, the matter is properly before the court and the defect in the notice of motion should be disregarded. (Savage v. Smith (1915) 170 Cal. 472, 474, 150 p. 353.)
