Wage Law

The California Rules of Court changed, effective July 1, 2006, so as to require each party to an appeal to serve and file a Certificate of Interested Entities or Persons at the time it files its first document in an appellate court. Each party must also include a copy of the Certificate of Interested Entities or Persons in its principal brief. The certificate must appear after the cover and before the tables. A party that learns of changed or additional information that must be disclosed must promptly serve and file a Supplemental Certificate of Interested Entities or Persons. See Rule 14.5. Also effective July 1, 2006, similar requirements apply to writ petitions. See Rules 56(i), 57(c), 58(c), 59(d).
