Northern Cal. Collection Service v. Perez CA1/4
Defendant Adrian Perez, then doing business as a sole proprietorship under the name ALP Construction (ALP), underpaid the State Compensation Insurance Fund (State Fund) by almost $100,000 for workers’ compensation premiums for its 2014 policy. Sued on the debt by a collection agency, Perez argued in opposition to summary judgment that plaintiff Northern California Collection Service, Inc. (Northern) lacked standing to pursue the action because State Fund’s assignment of the claim to Northern named only ALP Construction & Painting, Inc. (ALP Inc.) as the debtor (a corporate entity Perez formed after entering into the 2014 policy, which was also named in final premium bill), rather than Perez in his individual capacity or any other Perez entity previously insured by State Fund. The trial court found no triable issues of material fact and granted summary adjudication on Northern’s cause of action for an open book account. We affirm.
