  • Trial: A hearing that takes place when the defendant pleads "not guilty" and witnesses are required to come to court to give evidence.
When objection is made to the undertaking upon the ground that the estimated value of the property claimed, as stated in the undertaking, is less than the market value of the property claimed, the person, corporation, partnership or association may accept the estimated value stated by the judgment creditor in said objection, and a new undertaking may be at once filed with the judgment creditor’s estimate stated therein as the estimated value and no objection shall thereafter be made upon that ground; if the judgment creditor’s estimate of the market value is not
accepted, the person, corporation, partnership or association giving the undertaking shall move the court in which the execution issued, upon ten days’ notice to the judgment creditor, to estimate the market value of the property claimed and described in the undertaking, and upon the hearing of such motion witnesses may be required to attend and testify, and evidence be produced in the same manner as in the trial of civil actions. Upon the hearing of such motion, the court shall estimate the market value of the property described in the undertaking, and if the estimated value made by the court exceeds the estimated value as stated in the undertaking, a new undertaking shall be filed and served, with the market value determined by the court stated therein as the estimated value.

Other than referring to the nonexistent CCP § 1057, there is nothing of substance in § 713.
