Parties to the action: definitions.

Business operating under fictitious business name must file and publish fictitious business name stmt before bringing business or contract suit.

All legal actions must be prosecuted in name of RPI, except executors, administrators, trustees, and common interest development associations, e.g., homeowners associations.

Labor Code §202 and §203 apply when employees retire as well as quit; retiring DAG's decision to name the State as a D rather than the DOJ was not a basis for dismissal.

Although Ds not properly named nor served, they subjected themselves to court's personal jurisdiction and became parties by making general appearance.

Sole trustees of revocable inter vivos trust could properly be named as individual Ds where as beneficiaries, they had power to direct sale of real property the trust owned; their signatures sufficient to convey good title from Trust.
