Eva Cohen d/b/a/ Aster Search Group

In Eva Cohen d/b/a/ Aster Search Group, (19 A.D.3d 261 [1st Dept 2005]), Eva Cohen conducted business under two names, "Aster Search" and "Aster Place Group." Plaintiff filed a certificate of doing business only under the name "Aster Search." The Court held that "There is, however, no showing of either an intent to defraud, which would prevent her from recovering on a contract, or an intention to sign in a purely corporate capacity." The Court later acknowledged that the certificate is not jurisdictional, and may be amended prior to entry of any judgment.
