[1] Person is the intended root element of the schema. Person includes information about a person's names; addresses; phone numbers; email addresses; identifiers, such as a bar number or a badge number; descriptions, such as height, weight, or age; and roles, such as Plaintiff or Defendant. Attributes[2] The Person element has four optional attributes (a) PersonKey, (b) NoticeType, (c) NoticeRole, and (d) NoticeSwitch. Although these attributes are optional in most situations, they are all required when used in Notice List XML. Person Key[3] The PersonKey value is a unique identifier for a person. In Notice List XML, no two Person elements may have the same PersonKey value. Notice Type[4] The NoticeType attribute can have the value (a) Paper or (b) Electronic. The value Paper means the person wishes to send and receive notices using paper. The value Electronic means the person wishes to send and receive notices electronically. Notice Role and Notice Switch[5] Notice List XML defines a number of notice roles. Notice roles are associated with people and organizations using the NoticeRole attribute that is on both the Person schema's root element and the Organization schema's root element. Notice roles are divided into three categories as follows: Right to NoticeUnrepresented LitigantRepresentativeJudgeClerkOfficialOn Behalf OfRepresented LitigantNo Right to NoticeMediaWitnessVictimOther[6] In the Right to Notice category are Unrepresented Litigant, Representative, Judge, Clerk, and Official. An Unrepresented Litigant is a party to a case that does not have an attorney. A Representative is an attorney that is engaged by a party and that is to receive service instead of the party. A Judge is the judge assigned to the case. A Clerk is the clerk managing the case. An Official is any other court staff, law enforcement, or other official that is not a judge, a clerk, or a party to the case, but that should nevertheless receive notice of a filing. Any person with one of these notice roles must have a right to receive service. The default rule for delivering notice to people with one of these roles is that service of notice must be delivered. [7] In the On Behalf Of category is Represented Litigant. A Represented Litigant is a party that has a right to receive notice, but generally does not receive notice, since notice is served on the party's representative. The default rule for delivering notice to people that have a notice role equal to Represented Litigant is that service of notice should not be delivered. [8] In the No Right to Notice category are Media, Witness, Victim, and Other. Media is a member of the press. Witness is a person that may be called in the case to testify, but is not a party to the case. Victim is a person who has suffered some injury related to the case, but is not a party to the case. Other is any other person wishing to receive notice in the case that does not have a right to receive notice. The default rule for delivering notice to people with one of these roles is that service of notice must not be delivered. [9] The default rules above can be overridden using the NoticeSwitch attribute that is on both the Person schema's root element and the Organization schema's root element. The NoticeSwitch attribute is a boolean value. When set to true, the value signifies the person's desire to receive notice. When set to false, the value signifies the person's desire not to receive notice. [10] The operation of the NoticeSwitch attribute varies depending on the notice role. If the NoticeSwitch value is equal to true for a Represented Litigant, then notice applications must serve notice on the Represented Litigant. If, however, the NoticeSwitch value is equal to true for any of the notice roles in the No Right to Notice category, then notice applications may deliver notice depending on the circumstances of the litigation. Likewise, if the NoticeSwitch value is equal to false for any of the notice roles in the Right to Notice category, then notice applications may elect not to deliver notice depending on the circumstances of the litigation. [11] It is permissible for applications that publish notice lists to filter Notice List XML based on notice roles. For example, a notice list application may maintain information about victims, but it is not required to publish information about victims in Notice List XML. Default Rules for Parties Served Notice of Discovery and Other Documents[12] Not all document types are filed and served on the court. For example, discovery must be served on the party responsible for answering the discovery, but is generally not required to be served on the court. The default rules, stated above, must change for discovery and other documents based on the rules of service for those documents. See California Rule of Court Rule 201.5, Limitations on the filing of papers.
