Existing law, operative until January 1, 2016, establishes procedures for conducting expedited jury trials in civil cases where the parties sign a consent order to stipulate that those procedures apply, including provisions for a jury of 8 or fewer members, with no alternates, a limit of 3 peremptory challenges for each side, and a limit of 3 hours for each side to present its case. Existing law provides that all parties waive all rights to appeal and to move for a directed verdict or to make any posttrial motions, except as provided. This bill would delete that repeal date, thereby extending the operation of these provisions indefinitely.
