Case Name: ISJ General Trading, LLC vs Capital Asset Exchange and Trading, LLC Case No.: 24CV448687

The basis of Defendant/Cross Complainant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings is that Plaintiff/Cross Defendant, a corporation, is unrepresented in this litigation. (See CLD Construction, Inc. v. City of San Ramon (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 1141, 1145 ["[U]nder a longstanding common law rule of procedure, a corporation, unlike a natural person, cannot represent itself before courts of record in propria persona, nor can it represent itself through a corporate officer, director or other employee who is not an attorney. It must be represented by licensed counsel in proceedings before courts of record."].) While it is true that Plaintiff/Cross Defendant cannot prosecute the action without legal counsel, this is not a basis upon which to grant judgment on the claims within the four corners of the pleadings or any facts subject to proper judicial notice.
