Amending Judgment to Add Nonparty Alter Egos as Judgment Debtors
Amending Judgment to Add Nonparty Alter Egos as Judgment Debtors: Occasionally, a judgment creditor obtains a judgment against a corporation only to discover later that the corporation has few or no assets and is controlled by a nonparty alter ego. In this event, the judgment creditor may be able to amend the judgment to add the alter ego as a judgment debtor and enforce the judgment against that debtor (who, presumably, has assets). A California court may use "all the means necessary" to carry its jurisdiction into effect. [Ca Civ Pro § 187]
