California Code, Labor Code - LAB § 96.5

The Labor Commissioner shall conduct such hearings as may be necessary for the purpose of Section 7071.11 of the Business and Professions Code.  In any action to recover upon a cash deposit after a determination made under Section 7071.11, the Labor Commissioner shall certify in writing to the appropriate court that he has heard and determined the validity of claims and demands and that the sum specified therein is the amount found due and payable.  The certificate of the commissioner shall be considered by the court but shall not, by itself, be sufficient evidence to support a judgment.
