Can a court impose a sanction of dismissal on account of counsel's failure to obey a court order?

It is also significant that the restrictive provision in section 575.2, subdivision (b) is not repeated in the later enacted Government Code provision, which also deals with sanctions for a failure to obey court orders. The inference is that the restriction was not intended to apply to orders issued under the Government Code provision. (See Hennigan v. United Pacific Ins. Co. (1975) 53 Cal.App.3d 1, 8, 125 Cal.Rptr. 408 [fact that provision of statute on given subject is omitted from other statutes relating to similar subject indicates different legislative intent for each statute].) We therefore conclude that trial courts have discretionary authority to impose the sanction of dismissal on account of counsel's failure to comply [228 Cal.App.3d 1566] with local trial court delay reduction rules, if standards set forth in Government Code section 68609, subdivision (d) are satisfied. ⁶
