No. They must reinstate their charter before they have standing to sue. Additionally, except in rare cases (small claims), a corporation must use an attorney.
If by "suspended," you mean administratively dissolved for not filing annual reports and paying annual fees, the answer is, no. The applicable tax statute provides that, upon such dissolution, all powers conferred by law upon the corporation shall thereafter be inoperative and void. And, as noted, most times a corporation cannot appear "pro se"--- i.e., represent itself in court
Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
