A:
If a commissioner has taken over your civil case without providing notice, you may have grounds to file a peremptory challenge under CCP 170.6. This challenge allows you to disqualify the commissioner from hearing your case based on certain statutory grounds. It is essential to act promptly and consult with a California attorney experienced in civil litigation to properly file the peremptory challenge and protect your rights in the case.
