Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-15 (California T4 Madera build 2026-10-15) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-madera/pages/forms-filing__fee-bail-schedules.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-15; 630507 bytes, sha256 29a5b0f18decaaf4d6a259b91ab919cd10010a190df90d4859477c75ebd2ca84) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item (the page title, “Fee & Bail Schedules”); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page charges missed or cancelled Family Court Services appointments “within 24 hours of the session”; Local Rule 5.1.26(b) sets the $200.00 fee for a party who fails to attend “without notifying the Family Court Services office personnel no less than 48 hours in advance”, and Rule 5.1.39 requires cancellation “at least 48 hours prior to the appointment time”.
