Unlawful Detainer Pilot Program

Under the general framework of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11570–11587), one of the key provisions of the pilot program is the additional authority granted to city attorneys and city prosecutors to file unlawful detainer (UD) actions against any tenants who are engaged in illegal drug activities. By establishing this program, the Legislature hoped that city attorneys would be able to deal with drug nuisance problems in the community more effectively if property owners, out of safety concerns or other considerations, are unwilling to file unlawful detainer actions to evict offending tenants. In 2004, AB 2523 added additional protections for tenants and expanded the reach of the pilot program, including extending the pilot program for five more years until January 1, 2010; adding the cities of Oakland and San Diego to the pilot program; and requiring the cities participating in the pilot program to track and report cases in which either the unlawful detainer action was withdrawn or the tenant prevailed, as well as cases in which the eviction notice was erroneously sent to the tenant. In 2007, AB 1013 expanded the authority of city attorneys and city prosecutors to file unlawful detainer actions against any tenant who commits an offense involving the unlawful possession or use of illegal weapons or ammunition, or who uses the premises to advance that purpose (see Civ. Code, § 3485). It further added the city of Sacramento to the new pilot program and augmented reporting requirements to include the number of cases for unlawful detainer filed for a weapons or ammunition nuisance

Children’s and parents’ involvement in care order proceedings: a cross-national comparison of judicial decision-makers’ views and experiences

This paper presents the views of judicial decision-makers (n= 1794) in four child protection jurisdictions (England, Finland, Norway, and the USA (California)), about whether parents and children are provided with appropriate opportunities to participate in proceedings in their countries. Overall, the study found a high degree of agreement within and between the countries as regards the important conditions for parents and children´s involvement, although the four systems themselves are very different. There was less agreement about children’s involvement than parents’, and the court decision-makers from Norway and Finland were more likely to express doubts about this. Nevertheless, the main message from the judicial decision-makers is that they are relatively satisfied as to how parents and children´s involvement is handled in their countries. Whether or not this confidence is justified, the emphasis on achieving effective involvement of children and parents in court proceedings is likely to grow, with major implications for the workers, decision-makers and agencies involved
