The California SC-114 form serves a critical function within the small claims process, allowing parties to request amendments to the names of individuals or entities involved in a case prior to a hearing. This form is essential for ensuring that all parties are correctly identified, which is vital for the integrity of the legal proceedings. It includes sections for the names and addresses of the parties, as well as optional contact information such as telephone numbers and email addresses. Notably, the form requires the requesting party to provide proof of notification to all other parties involved, either through mailing or personal delivery, ensuring that everyone is informed of the changes being sought. Filing this request with the court is mandatory, and it is important to retain a copy for personal records. Should the claim not yet be served, the form advises against filing and instead suggests submitting an amended claim or dismissing the current claim to initiate a new one, provided the statute of limitations allows for it. The judge will make a determination regarding the request during the hearing, which underscores the importance of timely and accurate submissions.
