Los Angeles Bail Bonds …just another day

In County of Orange v. Continental Heritage Insurance Co., 2010 WL 740152 (Cal.App. March 4, 2010) the clerk mailed notice of forfeiture to the surety at the address shown on the bond.  The surety had moved but had not notified the court.  The post office returned the notice with the surety’s new address shown on the envelope.  The court filed the returned envelope but did not notify the surety at its new address.  The trial court denied the surety’s motion to exonerate the bond and entered summary judgment against the surety.  The Court of Appeal held that the clerk did exactly what Penal Code §1305(b) required – mailed the notice to the address on the bond – and affirmed the judgment.  [Not published].
