Villanueva Case #21CV381108 Envelope: 7575678 21CV381108 Santa Clara - Civil A. Villanueva In order to file actions in Small Claims Court, Plaintiff would need to hire additional employees. Actions to recover the delinquent credit account balance are filed in the jurisdiction where the Defendant resides. Plaintiff' employees would need to travel throughout the state which would cause them to be out of the office on a regular basis and therefore unable to perform other job duties. CCP 5 116.540(b) states that a corporation may appear only through an employee who is employed for purposes other than solely representing the corporation in Small Claims Court. Therefore, proceeding in Small Claims Court is not practical. 8 5.
