Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

When the corportion filed its answer it was a legal corporation, so why would the judge give you judgment on that? When they filed their answer they acted correctly. Whether they act properly at trial is to be decided by the jury itself.

Instead of waiting until trial, my strategy would be to file one or more motions that would require them to respond (they can't). A motion to strike the answer wouldn't do, because as Mr. Shers said, they were active as a corporation when they answered.
