Is a self-represented party entitled to the same consideration as an attorney on appeal?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Borges v. W. Progressive, LLC, A151077 (Cal. App. 2018):
The rule is that self-represented parties on appeal are " 'to be treated like any other party and are entitled to the same, but no greater consideration than other litigants and attorneys. . . .' Thus, as is the case with attorneys, pro. per. litigants must follow correct rules of procedure." (Nwosu v. Uba (2004) 122 Cal.App.4th 1229, 1247.)
