P. v. Bankers Ins.
Bankers Insurance Company ("the surety") appeals from the denial of its motion to vacate forfeiture and exonerate a $20,000 bail bond and from the summary judgment rendered against the surety. Among other things, the surety contends that the trial court lost jurisdiction when it failed to declare the bond forfeited in open court the first time the bailee did not appear. Santa Cruz CountyCounsel, on behalf of the People (respondent), does not oppose the relief requested by the surety. For the reasons outlined in this opinion Court agree that the bond should have been exonerated. Accordingly, Court reverse the judgment.
