The following excerpt is from Yost v. Forestiere, 265 Cal.Rptr.3d 175, 51 Cal.App.5th 509 (Cal. App. 2020):
Compared to the normal injunctive procedures set forth in the Code of Civil Procedure, section 527.6 provides a quick, simple and truncated procedure. ( Byers v. Cathcart (1997) 57 Cal.App.4th 805, 811, 67 Cal.Rptr.2d 398 ( Byers ).) The statute provides for the proceeding to be completed in a matter of weeks and was drafted with the expectation that victims often would seek relief without the benefit of a lawyer. ( Kenne v. Stennis (2014) 230 Cal.App.4th 953, 970, 179 Cal.Rptr.3d 198.)
