Holding
The court held that the mandatory trial preference provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 36, subdivision (a), which require trial within 120 days for litigants over age 70, apply to will contests in probate court because the Probate Code contains no special rule governing such preferences and the general rules of civil procedure apply where the Probate Code is silent.
