California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Meniooh v. Superior Court of Cal., A150252 (Cal. App. 2018):

Code of Civil Procedure section 391, subdivision (a) defines "Litigation" as "any civil action or proceeding, commenced, maintained or pending in any state or federal court." It has been judicially construed to include "an appeal or civil writ proceeding filed in an appellate court," even if the appeal or writ proceeding terminates with a dismissal that is not on the merits of the litigation.
