Will The Real Dr. Chu Please Step Forward

June 18, 2014

Dentist, Stephen Chu, ordered dental supplies form the plaintiff, accepted the shipment, but refused to pay the balance.  The plaintiff sued Dr. Chu individually and his dental practice, Stephen Chu, DDS, MSD, PA d/b/a Smile Again Orthodontics” for breach of contract and account stated.  Dr. Chu, however, declared bankruptcy and was subsequently nonsuited.  The Court found that a series of invoices addressed to “Stephen Chu DDS” could not establish, on summary judgment, that ” Stephen Chu, DDS, MSD, PA d/b/a Smile Again Orthodontics” was a party to the contract.
