Failure to file a cover sheet with the first paper filed in a civil case may subject a party, itscounsel, or both to sanctions under rules 2.30 and 3.220 of the California Rules of Court.To Parties In Rule 3.740 Collections Cases. A "collections case" under rule 3.740 is defined as an action for recovery of money owedin a sum stated to be certain that is not more than $25,000, exclusive of interest and attorney's fees, arising from a transaction in whichproperty, services, or money was acquired on credit. A collections case does not include an action seeking the following: (1) tortdamages, (2) punitive damages, (3) recovery of real property, (4) recovery of personal property, or (5) a prejudgment writ of attachment.The identification of a case as a rule 3.740 collections case on this form means that it will be exempt from the general time-for-servicerequirements and case management rules, unless a defendant files a responsive pleading. A rule 3.740 collections case will be subjectto the requirements for service and obtaining a judgment in rule 3.740.To Parties in Complex Cases. In complex cases only, parties must also use the Civil Case Cover Sheet to designate whether thecase is complex. If a plaintiff believes the case is complex under rule 3.400 of the California Rules of Court, this must be indicated bycompleting the appropriate boxes in items 1 and 2. If a plaintiff designates a case as complex, the cover sheet must be served with thecomplaint on all parties to the action. A defendant may file and serve no later than the time of its first appearance a joinder in theplaintiffs designation, a counter-designation that the case is not complex, or, if the plaintiff has made no designation, a designation thatthe case is complex.
