California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Fin. Cas. & Sur., Inc., B297052 (Cal. App. 2020):

The particular situation herea trial court purporting to reinstate a forfeited bail bond without giving notice to the suretyis precisely the one addressed in County of Madera v. Ranger Ins. Co. (1991) 230 Cal.App.3d 271. After an extensive review of the legislative history of this reinstatement provision, which we need not repeat here, the court in County of Madera concluded that "[f]ailure to give the surety notice is a jurisdictional defect." (Id. at p. 279.)
