§ 760.060.Applicability of Statutes and Rules Governing Practice In Civil Actions

Chapter 4 doesn't try to be a complete code of procedure on its own. This section plugs it into the general body of California civil practice — pleading rules, discovery, motion practice, trial procedure — so a quiet title case runs like any other civil case except where this chapter says otherwise.

That backstop matters most where the chapter is silent. It doesn't address every procedural question a quiet title case might raise, so litigants and courts fall back on ordinary civil practice for anything this chapter doesn't specifically address, while the chapter's own provisions — the verified complaint requirement of § 761.020, the no-default rule of § 764.010, and the rest — control wherever they're inconsistent with the general rule.
