Labor Intensive & Complex for the Courts
▪ 1305(b) (bail agent relieved of obligations if court clerk fails to mail notice forfeiture satisfying statute within 30 days)
▪ 1305 (c)(1) If the defendant appears either voluntarily or in custody after surrender or arrest in court within 180 days of the date of forfeiture or within 180 days of the date of mailing of the notice if the notice is required under subdivision (b), the court shall, on its own motion at the time the defendant first appears in court on the case in which the forfeiture was entered, direct the order of forfeiture to be vacated and the bond exonerated.
▪ 1305.4 Notwithstanding Section 1305, the surety insurer, the bail agent, the surety, or the depositor may file a motion, based upon good cause, for an order extending the 180-day period provided in that section.
▪ 1306(c) & (f) (bail agent relieved of obligations if summary judgment is not entered against bondsman within 90 days; right to enforcement forfeiture judgment expires after two years),
▪ 1308(b) (clerk must serve notice of forfeiture judgment within five days).
