Hello all.
So the Court Executive Officer, also called (Head) Clerk Of Court for my county here in California, long story short, is currently manned by an individual that did not take the constitutionally required Oath of Office (I have it all documented etc. CA constitution requires 'X', his oath on record is not even close to X).
The office is theoretically vacant.
Does anybody know what the ramifications on a court case would be if the Court Executive Officer had (theoretically until somebody important agrees that such is the case) been vacant through the up-to-now proceedings?
In other words, if somebody is and has been acting as Court EO but is by law not a holder of the Court EO office, what is the effect on the system/legal proceedings/etc.
Thanks
