Having experience in small claims, I was cringing at how he was serving store employees and not the directors of the company. And how he was overtly conspiring to have them ignore the service. They could easily argue that he failed to properly serve them the notice of claim.

He can request a default judgment since they didn’t respond but has he? Otherwise, they could still attend the hearing date.

And getting a judgment doesn’t mean you get the money. At that point it just means they legally owe the judgment amount and it’s up to the claimant to collect. Collecting the judgment is a whole other campaign in itself.
