Section 1813. Duty to pay judgments

(a)  Any  person,  partnership, firm or corporation which is sued in a
  small claims court for any cause of action arising out of  its  business
  activities,  shall pay any judgment rendered against it in its true name
  or in any name in which it conducts business. "True name"  includes  the
  legal  name  of a natural person and the name under which a partnership,
  firm or corporation is licensed, registered, incorporated  or  otherwise
  authorized to do business. "Conducting business" as used in this section
  shall  include,  but  not  be  limited to, maintaining signs at business
  premises or on business vehicles; advertising; entering into  contracts;
  and  printing  or  using  sales  slips,  checks,  invoices  or receipts.
  Whenever a judgment has been rendered  against  a  person,  partnership,
  firm  or  corporation  in  other than its true name and the judgment has
  remained unpaid for thirty-five  days  after  receipt  by  the  judgment
  debtor  of notice of its entry, the aggrieved judgment creditor shall be
  entitled to commence an  action  in  small  claims  court  against  such
  judgment  debtor, notwithstanding the jurisdictional limit of the court,
  for the sum of the original judgment, costs, reasonable attorney's fees,
  and one hundred dollars.
    (b) Whenever a judgment  which  relates  to  activities  for  which  a
  license  is  required  has  been  rendered  against  a business which is
  licensed by a state or  local  licensing  authority  and  which  remains
  unpaid  for  thirty-five  days  after  receipt by the judgment debtor of
  notice of its entry and the judgment has not been  stayed  or  appealed,
  the  state  or  local licensing authority shall consider such failure to
  pay, if deliberate or part of a pattern of  similar  conduct  indicating
  recklessness, as a basis for the revocation, suspension, conditioning or
  refusal  to  grant  or  renew  such  license.  Nothing  herein  shall be
  construed to preempt an  authority's  existing  policy  if  it  is  more
  restrictive.
    (c)  The  clerk shall attach to the notice of suit required under this
  article a notice of the duty imposed by this section.
