Bill Summary · AB 2690

Legislative bill overview

AB 2690 modifies California's civil procedure rules governing provisional remedies and injunctions in civil lawsuits. The bill has advanced through the Judiciary Committee with a "do pass" recommendation (10-1 vote) and now moves toward further legislative consideration. Specific substantive changes are not detailed in the action history provided.

Why this is important

Injunctions and provisional remedies are fundamental legal tools that courts use to prevent irreparable harm—from stopping business practices to protecting property rights—during ongoing litigation. Changes to these procedures affect access to justice, the speed of legal proceedings, and the balance of power between plaintiffs and defendants in civil disputes.

Potential points of contention

  • Standards for obtaining injunctions: Any modification to burden of proof, evidence requirements, or judicial discretion could make it easier or harder for parties to obtain emergency court orders
  • Due process concerns: Changes affecting notice requirements or defendant rights to be heard before an injunction issues may raise fairness questions
  • Business and plaintiff impacts: Stricter requirements could slow justice for injured parties; looser requirements could expose defendants to more provisional liability
