Legal Question in Business Law in California
We won our small claims case and we are currently trying to collect. We had a judgment debtors hearing and the defendant lied through her teeth. If we have evidence that she lied under perjury, which she also signed her answers, would we able to sue her in court? Would there be any repercusions for her? Could we collect on any damages? Please advise thank you:)

You could file a motion for monetary sanctions which would increase the judgment, and you could also send your evidence to the district attorney's office. Remember you can always 1) bring a court reporter to the judgment debtor exam; or 2) send the debtor written interrogatories and demands for production of documents. If the debtor fails to adequately respond to the interrogatories/demands for productions, file a motion with the for more and more sanctions.
