P0937 Although a complaint in an action for civil penalties stated a demand for damages of "no less than" $1 million, its allegations of 1,500 statutory violations, each with a potential civil penalty of $2,500, gave defendant sufficient notice of a possible default judgment up to $3.75 million and a default judgment for $1,787,500 did not exceed that limit.CitationPEO exrel LOCKYER v BRAR (Heavy Penalties) 134 CA4 659 [See: CCP 473, 580; B&PC 17206; Peo exrel Lockyer v Brar, 115 CA4 1315, P/AT 3/04; National Diversified v Bernstein 168 CA3 410]
