Does the term "deemed" apply to a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Parmett v. Superior Court, 212 Cal.App.3d 1261, 262 Cal.Rptr. 387 (Cal. App. 1989):
Further, as petitioner points out, all cases construing the term "deemed" have held without exception that the meaning of "deemed" is that the deemed state of affairs is conclusively presumed to exist. (See e.g., Irwin v. Pickwick Stages System, Inc. (1933) 134 Cal.App. 443, 448, 25 P.2d 998.) Thus no basis exists in the language or the form of the statute for an exception in favor of a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit.
