2438 Transferring an action to Municipal Court on the basis of monetary jurisdiction requires an evaluation of the amount fairly in controversy, not an adjudication of the merits of the claim; unless the Superior Court reasonably determines that the verdict will necessarily fall short of the superior court jurisdictional requirement, the action cannot be transferred over objection of a party.CitationCHAHAL v SUPERIOR COURT (Muni Court Transfer) 73 CA4 399 [See: Walker v Superior Court 53 C3 257; Maldonado v Superior Court 45 CA4 397, T/AT 6/96]
