Tony submitted Answers and mentioned damages........I

don't know that he actually properly filed a lawsuit or legally can file such on behalf of Apple Rush. This is not a Justice of the Peace court where that might be an exception. Plus, Brugg is asking for $20K plus.

I don't even know if the Answers Tony filed will be accepted ultimately.

Tony nor Apple Rush Corp is a party to the lawsuit.

AI overview

In New Jersey, an LLC generally cannot be represented in court by someone who is not a licensed attorney, unless it's in Justice of the Peace Courts. An LLC, as a separate legal entity, must be represented by a lawyer in most court proceedings.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
LLCs and Legal Representation:
New Jersey courts, like many others, view an LLC as a distinct legal entity separate from its owners. This means that the LLC itself, not its members, is the party involved in the legal action.

Attorney Requirement:
As a general rule, only a licensed attorney can represent a party in court. This applies to LLCs as well.

Justice of the Peace Exception:
There is a limited exception in New Jersey's Justice of the Peace Courts. Authorized members, managers, or employees of an LLC can represent the LLC in these courts, but they need to file a notarized Certificate of Representation. These courts handle claims up to $15,000.
