What is the proper notice of the date of trial in a personal injury action?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from O'Dell v. Freightliner Corp., 10 Cal.App.4th 645, 12 Cal.Rptr.2d 774 (Cal. App. 1992):
The date of trial is significant because it limits the employer's right to intervene in the action. ( 3853.) "Since the right to intervene exists up to the time of trial on the facts, proper notice of the trial date is essential. Proper and orderly procedure dictates that the notice be a formal one and not be left to informal communication between counsel." (Carden v. Otto, supra, 37 Cal.App.3d at p. 897, 112 Cal.Rptr. 749.)
