§ 2041 Reference Expense Payment Rules

Key Takeaways

•If the board doesn't have enough money to pay for a reference, they won't do it.
•The board can also refuse if they think the money for the reference won't be paid back.
•The board will only do the reference if the people involved promise to pay and the court agrees.

Example

Imagine you and your neighbor have a fight about who should pay for a broken fence. You ask the court to send someone to check the fence and decide who is right.

The court might say no if they don't have enough money to pay the person checking the fence. They can also say no if they think you or your neighbor won't pay them back later. They'll only say yes if you both promise to pay and the court agrees to your promise.

If the funds available for use by the board are inadequate to permit it to advance the expense of a reference, or if in its opinion the payment of the expense of any reference is not reasonably certain, the board shall refuse to undertake a reference unless and until adequate provision is made by the parties and approved by the court for the payment of the expenses. (Amended by Stats. 1957, Ch. 1932.)
