Cal. R. 2.305
As amended through September 20, 2024
A party who files or serves a signed document by fax under the rules in this chapter represents that the original signed document is in the party's possession or control.
At any time after filing or service of a signed fax document, any other party may serve a demand for production of the original physically signed document. The demand must be served on all other parties but not filed with the court.
If a demand for production of the original signed document is made, the parties must arrange a meeting at which the original signed document can be examined.
Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, including Evidence Code sections 255 and 260, a signature produced by fax transmission is deemed to be an original.
