That might be because you were suing a company, though. How would a company "represent itself"? Get the board of directors in?
- true_religion 5y agoLots of times they just send an executive. See the Uber civil cases.
- owl_troupe 5y agoCorrect -- In many jurisdictions, corporations cannot proceed pro se. They must retain counsel. As far as a company speaking for itself, a corporate representative is often designated to speak for and bind the company in any civil action. See, e.g., Federal Rule 30(b)(6): https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_30 https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_30
