6-32/510.00 Filing of Dispute



Within five days after receiving a copy of the labor claim, either the plaintiff or the defendant in the action may file with the levying officer a sworn statement disputing any part of such claim.  (CCP 1207)  If the party disputing the claim serves a copy of the sworn statement on the claimant, or the claimant’s attorney or assignee, either personally or by mail, the claimant may petition for a hearing on the claim.  The claim to priority is barred if the claimant does not petition for a hearing within 10 days of personal service or deposit in the mail, as evidenced by the registry receipt, of the sworn statement denying the claim.  The petition must be filed with the court having jurisdiction of the action on which the writ is based, or, if more than one attachment or execution is involved, the court having jurisdiction over the senior attachment or execution.  (CCP 1206(c))
