Corporation suing another Corp. in Small Claims Court/CA
Our corporation (small company) is suing a dead beat client (another corporation)for non-payment of services.
Does one of our corporate officers have to show up in small claims as plaintiff OR can our Business Manager represent us - as she knows the full particulars of the actions.

No the business manager can only be a witness. You should consider having an attorney on retainer for a small annual fee. Call me directly at 16192223504.

A corporate officer should attend with the business manager and then ask permission from the judge for the husiness manager to speak on behalf of the corporation. It is the best way to make sure the case is not continued.
