Claim: California Code of Civil Procedure, enacted by the California State Legislature in March 1872, was a codification of the Practice Act of 1851, as amended and revised, which includes statutes of limitations that control the period of time during which a lawsuit must be commenced.
Evidence: The California Code of Civil Procedure (commonly abbreviated to Code Civ. in formal legal citations or just CCP in treatises and other less formal contexts) was enacted by the California State Legislature in March 1872 as the general codification of the law of civil procedure in the U.S. state of California, along with the three other original California Codes. Originally, the CCP was the codification of the Practice Act of 1851, as amended and revised. It also includes statutes of limitations that control the period of time during which a lawsuit must be commenced.
