AB 747: What It Means for Your Case
If you’re filing a lawsuit in California, one mistake in service of process can delay your entire case. With the introduction of AB 747, the standards for “reasonable diligence” have become stricter—and courts are paying close attention.
At JPL Process Service LLC, we’ve already adapted our approach to meet these higher expectations.
What is AB 747? and why does it matter more than ever!
AB 747 reinforces and clarifies the requirement that a thorough, well-documented effort must be made to personally serve a defendant before using alternatives like substituted service or service by publication.
What’s changed?
- Higher scrutiny from courts
- Judges now expect clear proof that real efforts were made to locate and serve the individual.
- Detailed attempt logs are essential
- Dates, times, addresses, and outcomes must be accurately recorded and consistent.
- Skip tracing is no longer optional
- Verifying addresses and locating individuals through multiple sources is becoming standard practice.
- Greater risk of delays
If diligence isn’t properly demonstrated, your service can be challenged or rejected—costing you time and money.
